Groudon Weakness
Groudon's Ground typing leaves it vulnerable to Water, Grass, and Ice. It shrugs off Electric-type attacks completely. Groudon's physical bulk (base 140 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

Groudon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
For the Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon meta, At 670 BST, Groudon is built different. We rank it B-Tier. As a Legendary Pokemon, the raw stats back up the reputation. Best used as a wallbreaker. Earthquake with Leftovers is the standard set.
Groudon is a static encounter at Alola Ultra Space Wilds in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Groudon appears at level 60. Prerequisite: LIMITED. Save before the encounter. These one-shot Pokemon don't respawn if you knock them out or run out of Poke Balls.
Groudon gets Drought. But Drought is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that. On wall sets, Drought pairs with Groudon's base 140 Defense to absorb physical hits on the switch.
Groudon is a physical attacker with base 150 Attack. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 90 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the wallbreaker role.
Game Availability
Since Ruby & Sapphire, Groudon has appeared in 16 games. Legendary Pokemon like Groudon are usually found through story events or special post-game areas rather than random encounters.
