It has a large tail with three sharp, white spikes appearing on the left hand side and right hand side of its tail. A black pattern also goes along its body.
 
 
==In the games==
 
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team & Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team/Blue Rescue Team]], Groudon appears as one of the main villains. After the hero, the partner, and the [[Alakazam|Alakazam`s]] Team discovered the truth about Ninetale"s Legend, he causes a earthquake, later in the game, the hero and the partner have to go to the deep of [[Magma Cave]] to save Alakazam`s Team, defeating Groudon. After his defeat, he can be recruitable to the Rescue Team.
 
 
He has a minor appearance in the next game, when he appears as an illusion created by [[Uxie]].
 
 
==In the Anime==
 
Groudon had a fight with Kyogre at the place where Kyogre slept. Ground type Pokémon appeared in the [[Pokémon Anime]] in ''[[Gaining Groudon!]]'', and '''''The Scuffle Of Legends!'',''' debuting with [[Kyogre]] as well. [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] were competing to gain both legendaries. Team Aqua, as it turned out, tricked Magma leader Maxie by taking Kyogre even after they had Groudon. [[Ash's Pikachu]] then shocked Groudon's cargo container and released it to fight against a rampaging [[Kyogre]]. [[File:GROUDON.jpg|thumb|Groudon]]
 
 
A false one also appeared in the 6th Pokémon Movie, [[Jirachi: Wish Maker]] which a [[Team Magma]] scientist tried to create, but the experiment failed ending in a massive Groudon-like monster.

==Trivia==
 
*Groudon and [[Torterra]] are the same species. They are both known as the '''Continent Pokémon'''
 
*Groudon is the only pure and {{Type|Ground}} type [[Legendary Pokémon]].
 
*Groudon is the only non-{{Type|Fire}} type Pokémon to learn [[Eruption]] and [[Fire Blast]] via level up.
 
*In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, the player doesn't actually fight Groudon. [[Uxie|<u>Uxie</u>]] created a hologram of Groudon that can fight.
 
*People often mistaken Groudon as a Fire type.
 
*Groudon is the heaviest Pokémon so far apart from the glitched pokemon hpoke.
 
*It is the only Pokémon that naturally has the ability [[Drought]]. The only other Pokémon is [[Ninetales]], which is capable of getting having it in the [[Dream World]].
 
*Despite being Kyogre's ultimate rival, Groudon's typing puts it at a massive disadvantage. The only type-effective move Groudon learns against Kyogre is SolarBeam, however, as Groudon is a physical-based Pokémon, this is another disadvantage. This could reflect global warming, in which the water level of the ocean rises and covers more landmasses.
 
*Groudon's design is possibly based on Godzilla.
 
*An evil clone made in the likeness of Groudon appears in the movie [[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]; It is several times larger with tentacle-like appendages protruding from its back.
 
*Groundon might be based off of the Behemoth from Judeo-Christian religion.
 
 
==Name Origin==
 
 
'''Groudon''''s name originated from the words "'''Grou'''nd" and "Ged'''don'''". Geddon's meaning being to crack the ground.
