After the presentation of the third generation of Pokémon in Pokémon GO we were clear that Groudon would be more than present at this stage of the game The The trailer itself gave us a hint of its presence, as well as that of other Pokémon that have already begun to appear in the game. And it is that Niantic, creators of Pokémon GO, have decided to open the season to this third generation progressively, gradually adding the remaining Pokémon from the Hoenn region.
But what interests us in this case is knowing how to capture Groudon, a new legendary Pokémon that is already available in Pokémon GO. This characteristic, that of being legendary, means that he appears in legendary raids, so he will be quite accessible to trainers around the world. Of course, as long as they are in good company, since it is a powerful Pokémon with great vitality and devastating attacks.
Note that Niantic allows to capture Groudon in Pokémon GO from now until January 15, 2018. A limited time to make this Pokémon something more exclusive and interesting. It's quite an adventure when it comes to capturing it.
First thing is to find a level five raid in your environment. That is, those in which he appears with a black egg.And it is that, after the official confirmation of Niantic, we know that a Groudon will come out of said raid with almost total security. The next step is to surround yourself with a good team of trainers, because, when facing a legendary Pokémon, it is almost mandatory to complete the raid with 20 members that count with a level around 25.
Now you have to know that Groudon is a Ground-type Pokémon, so it is vulnerable to attacks like Solar Beam, Hydro Pump, or BlizzardOf course, there is a key factor that must be known. If the Groudon has its own Solar Beam attack, the best Pokémon to attack may vary. This is the selection of the best Pokémon to attack Groudon that they select in the PokeBattler simulator:
If Groudon has Solar Beam:
Ho-Oh, Venusaur, Victreebel, Sceptile, Moltres, and Shiftry In general, most are plant-types, or have Grass-type attacks that are highly effective against Groudon.Solar Beam makes a difference, but Blade Blade and Fire Spin are also powerful against ground types.
If Groudon does not have Solar Beam:
Ho-Oh, Sceptile, Groudon, Entei, Gyarados and Vaporeon. In this variation we find the presence of water-type Pokémon, which can also be effective against Groudon, if it has different statistics and attacks.
In this way, all that remains is for you to investigate with a first attempt if Groudon has Solar Ray or not, and select in reference to one team or another of Pokémon to cause the highest possible damage From this point on, whether or not it stays in the pokeball depends on chance.
Other things to consider
When facing a legendary raid, don't hesitate to surround yourself with as many trainers of your own team possible Of this So, if all goes well, you can get an extra number of masterballs or special pokéballs to capture Groudon. That is, more opportunities to capture this legendary Pokémon.
In the same way, try to attack as hard as you can whenever you get the chance. This will also increase the extra damage that, at the end of the battle, you can be rewarded with, acquiring even more masterballs to capture Groudon.
And, of course, don't mess with the Golden Razz Berries. This is the perfect time to use them and increase Groudon's catch percentage.
