Primal Groudon Weaknesses & Type Effectiveness

Primal Groudon is a Ground/Fire-type enhanced Legendary that hits like a truck, but its dual typing leaves it vulnerable to Water and Ground-type moves. That said, it’s smarter to prioritize Water attacks as they deal 2.56 times the damage.

Groudon’s killer move is Solar Beam, which does a ton of Grass-type damage. We still recommend you prioritize Water-type Pokemon, as you won’t deal as much damage with other types.

With Groudon’s diverse moves and wall of resistances, the player is limited on what they can bring to the fight. As long as you avoid any of the other seven types Groudon is super effective against, you should do alright.
