Learn how to defeat the illusionary Groudon in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. Discover its weaknesses and the strategy to overcome this fiery foe.

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Type: Ground
  • Weaknesses: Grass, Ice (Water moves are weakened due to Drought)
  • Abilities: Drought (activates harsh sunlight)

Phases:

  1. Phase 1: Groudon (Illusion)
    • Groudon uses Fire-type and Ground-type moves.
    • Its Drought ability makes the battlefield sunny, boosting Fire moves and weakening Water moves.
    • Solarbeam can be used instantly due to the sun.

Strategy:

  • Lead with Status: Start the battle by inflicting a status condition on Groudon, like Sleep or Paralysis, using moves like Sleep Seed or Thunder Wave.
  • Exploit Weaknesses: Once a status is applied, focus on using Grass or Ice-type moves. Remember that Water-type moves will be significantly less effective due to Drought.
  • Partner's Role: Instruct your partner Pokémon to only use moves that are super-effective against Groudon.
  • Level Up: Ensure your team is well-leveled before the fight. A higher level makes this battle much more manageable.
  • Post-Battle: After defeating the illusionary Groudon, Uxie will appear and reveal the truth. You'll then proceed to a cutscene involving the Time Gear at Fogbound Lake.
