Groudon

The best single forme of a Pokemon in Ubers, Primal Groudon has become nigh mandatory on teams. Its absurd number of viable options along with the insane role compression it provides, both offensively and defensively, make it a Pokemon that few teams elect not to use. Primal Groudon is also notable for checking big threats such as Xerneas, Primal Kyogre, and Ho-Oh. Blessed with very high offensive stats and solid physical bulk, Primal Groudon is considered to be the best and most common setter of Stealth Rock in the tier. Additionally, Primal Groudon has great options for boosting Speed and Attack in Rock Polish and Swords Dance, which makes it one of the most dangerous offensive threats around. Its immunity to Water- and Electric-type attacks give Primal Groudon built-in defensive synergy, while its immunity to burns makes it impossible for foes to neuter Primal Groudon's physical attacks. Primal Groudon does have some shortcomings, however, such as being stuck in an average Speed tier and having a relatively low Special Defense stat when uninvested. Primal Groudon also lacks any options for instant recovery and has its item slot restricted to the Red Orb, leaving it with few options for recovering health. Primal Groudon's primary weakness, Ground, is also a common offensive type in the tier. While Primal Groudon is far from unbeatable, it should be feared for the offensive and defense behemoth that it is.
