Groudon
Groudon (Gura-don) is one of a trio of legendary Pokémon, alongside Rayquaza and Kyogre, that represents Pokémon Ruby and appears on its cover art.
In the legend surrounding the three, Groudon represents the land, while Kyogre and Rayquaza represent the sea and the sky, respectively.
Groudon, representing land, raised lands and expanded continents in legends and myths.
Coming as a savior for humans suffering from floods caused by Kyogre, it can dissipate clouds, and evaporate water with light and heat.
After a titanic battle with Kyogre, it went to sleep in underground magma, causing volcanoes to erupt when it awakes.
It is a Ground-type with the Drought ability, which makes the weather sunny until another weather move is used or a Pokémon with another weather-altering ability is switched in.
At 2094.1 lbs, Groudon is the heaviest of all known Pokémon; originally, Groudon was even heavier, at 2,095 lbs.
Groudon first appears in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald together with Kyogre and Rayquaza – the three are known as the Weather Trio.
Pokémon Ruby focuses on Team Magma awakening Groudon to take over the world with a Blue Orb, while Pokémon Emerald has both Groudon and Kyogre awake.
The anime follows a similar structure, where both Pokémon are awakened, and forced to battle by Team Magma and Team Aqua.
This is foiled by Ash Ketchum and Lance, and Groudon and Kyogre return to their respective elements after calling a truce.
Groudon also plays a pseudo-role in the sixth Pokémon movie, Jirachi Wishmaker, where an evil being in the form of a Groudon is formed from the energy of Jirachi.
Groudon appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a Pokémon that can be released from a Poké Ball thrown by the player.
In the game, any player (except the one who threw the Poké Ball containing it) that touches Groudon will burst into flames and take high amounts of damage.
It also appears in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games.
In the Red and Blue Rescue Team games, it kidnaps Alakazam's rescue team and the hero and their partner must defeat Groudon to rescue Alakazam and his partners Charizard and Tyranitar.
In the Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky games, it appears as an illusion created by Uxie to scare off intruders (such as the hero and his/her partner) from the Fogbound Lake and protect the Time Gear hidden there, While also being an additional Boss.
