Read more ↓Groudon, the Continent Pokémon, is a legendary Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III, hailing from the Hoenn region. This colossal creature is depicted as the personification of land itself, capable of expanding continents and causing volcanic eruptions. Its natural habitat is deep within the Earth's magma chambers, where it sleeps until awakened by a force capable of disturbing its slumber, often believed to be its rival, Kyogre. Groudon's diet is not explicitly detailed in the games or anime, as it is a primal force of nature rather than a conventional animal that consumes food for sustenance. Its behavior is primarily driven by its desire to expand landmass, often clashing with Kyogre, who desires to expand the seas. In the games, Groudon is the mascot of Pokémon Ruby and Omega Ruby, playing a central role in the narrative as the player strives to halt its destructive power. In the anime, it has appeared in several movies and episodes, showcasing its immense power and rivalry with Kyogre. Culturally, Groudon represents the raw, untamed power of the earth, a symbol of creation and destruction that has left a lasting impact on the Pokémon universe. It has no evolution line, standing alone as a singular, powerful entity.
