Groudon roaming raids

Groudon is back in Pokémon GO five-star raids in April 2026, and players are targeting it for both raid teams and Master League lineups. (theclick.gg) Groudon is a pure Ground-type Legendary, so it takes super-effective damage from Water-, Grass-, and Ice-type attacks and resists Electric-, Poison-, and Rock-type moves. The Click and Pokémon GO Hub both list Primal Kyogre, Mega Swampert, Zarude, Roserade, and Mamoswine among the strongest answers, with simulation tables also putting White Kyurem and Mega Sceptile near the top. (theclick.gg) (pokemongohub.net) (db.pokemongohub.net) (pokebattler.com) The catch window is 2,260 to 2,351 Combat Power at level 20 after a standard raid win, and 2,825 to 2,939 in sunny weather at level 25. A perfect individual values Groudon appears at 2,351 without weather boost and 2,939 with it. (theclick.gg) (pokemongohub.net) (db.pokemongohub.net) Raid guides are focusing on move management because Groudon’s charged attacks change which counters survive longest. Solar Beam punishes Water-types, while Fire Blast hits Grass-types harder, and both The Click and Pokémon GO Hub recommend adjusting teams after checking the boss moveset. (theclick.gg) (db.pokemongohub.net) Group size is the other variable. The Click says three to five high-level trainers can usually clear Groudon, while Pokémon GO Hub recommends groups of three to six for stronger accounts and seven or more for lower-level players; Pokebattler’s estimator rates it as a realistic three-trainer raid with optimized counters. (theclick.gg) (pokemongohub.net) (pokebattler.com) Players are also raiding it for long-term value, not just this week’s dex entry. Pokémon GO Hub lists Groudon at 4,652 maximum Combat Power, and its recommended raid moveset is Mud Shot with Precipice Blades, the signature Ground-type attack that still requires an Elite Charged Technical Machine if the caught raid boss does not already know it. (db.pokemongohub.net) Shiny hunters have a reason to keep going too. The Click says shiny Groudon is available in raids, with the alternate form showing the series’ green shiny palette instead of Groudon’s standard red. (theclick.gg) For April raiders, the practical formula is simple: bring Water first, swap if Solar Beam shows up, and know the 2,351 and 2,939 numbers before the catch screen appears.
