PVE Offensive Moves Explanation
- Mud Shot is superior to Dragon Tail, with higher overall damage output, weather compatibility with charge moves, and better meta-relevant coverage.
- Earthquake is the charged move of choice, providing strong STAB damage
- Solar Beam leaves Groudon as a surprisingly competent (though consistently outclassed) Grass attacker if you're desperate.
- Fire Blast can’t compete with Groudon’s other charge moves.
- Fire Punch comes out fast due to being multi-bar, but it's not recommended in PvE
PVE Overview
Groudon, the cover legendary of Pokemon Ruby, made an abrupt appearance in Pokemon GO shortly after Gen 3's partial release in December 2017. The mover of continents was by far the most powerful Pokemon to have been released in the generation's short life span. It's definitely a top Ground Type attacker that does its job extremely well. But it does suffer from the weakness of most Ground Type moves, which limits its potential to a certain degree.
Despite its shortcomings, Groudon is actually the pinnacle of Ground types and a worth-while Pokemon to have on your team, especially given its future potential. In the main series, Groudon is not only one of only two pokemon blessed with a Primal Reversion, with the other being its eternal rival Kyogre, it may also be able to look forward to its signature attack, Precipice Blades. This attack has been in the game's data for years now and is extremely powerful. When/if this is released as-is, Groudon is going to become an absolute monster.
