Best Primal Groudon Counters in Pokemon GO: Type Effectiveness & Weaknesses

Primal Groudon is one of the best Pokemon to have on your roster for PvE battles and 5-star raids, but defeating one in Pokemon GO is a lot easier said than done. Here are the best Primal Groudon counters in Pokemon GO

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.

Pokemon	Type	Vulnerable To	Strong Against	Resistant To
	Fire/Ground	Water Ground	Dragon Water Ground Rock Fire Electric Poison Steel	Fire Grass Ice Bug Steel Fairy Poison

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 resistance, 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.
