Special Pokémon

Legendary, Mythical, Mega & Gigantamax Ground Pokémon

Larvitar and Pupitar are part Ground, but they evolve into Tyranitar, which is Rock/Dark, while Gible’s line keeps Ground all the way to Garchomp. Groudon, a legendary Ground Pokémon, picks up Fire in its Primal form, and Mega Garchomp Z drops Ground to go pure Dragon. Alolan Sandshrew, Geodude and Marowak all lose it.

4 legendary Pokémon have the Ground type.
