Appearances[]
Main Pokémon games[]

Other Pokémon games[]
Super Smash Bros. series[]
Groudon in Super Smash Bros. Brawl
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, you're able to summon multiple different Pokémon by throwing a Poké Ball. One of those Pokémon you can summon is Groudon. Once it appears, he'll fill up most of the smaller stages, though won't move around, but will rather stay put. If one of your opponents touches it, he'll be launched off the stage, seeing that the Groudon is engulfed in flames.
Groudon would later appear in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U (as a Trophy) and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (as Spirit), despite no longer a Poké Ball Pokémon.
Trophy descriptions[]
"A Continent Pokémon. In ancient times, it brought about droughts to save people who had suffered from floods. It is normally found in the profound depths of the earth, where it slumbers in magma. With a mighty roar, it uses Earthquake to shake the ground and mow down enemies. In battle, summons sunlight to bathe the area. It once had an epic battle with Kyogre."
In the anime[]
Groudon in the anime
Groudon appeared in Jirachi Wish Maker as the true main antagonist. In the movie, a former Team Magma scientist named Butler, working as a magician at the Millennium Festival, wished to use Jirachi to bring forth a Groudon. However, what he ended up with was not a Groudon, but a manifestation of pure evil that simply had the appearance of a Groudon. At the end, Jirachi used Doom Desire to destroy Meta Groudon. Groudon's Primal form also made various appearances in various animated media.
