[SET COMMENTS]
Groudon is a decent pick for bulky offense teams thanks to its ability to check Zacian-C, Extreme Killer Arceus, Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground, and Koraidon due to its solid bulk. Access to moves such as Will-O-Wisp and Spikes differentiate it from Landorus-T. Will-O-Wisp allows Groudon to cripple Pokemon that switch into it such as Koraidon and physical variants of Arceus-Ground. Roar is used to phaze foes such as Swords Dance Zacian-C, Swords Dance Koraidon, Extreme Killer Arceus, and Arceus-Ground that may try to set up on it while also racking up chip damage from entry hazards. Protect is an alternative move that can be used to scout moves from the likes of Choice Specs Miraidon and Kyogre and Choice Scarf Koraidon as well as maximize Leftovers recovery. Tera Water allows Groudon to resist Behemoth Blade from Zacian-C, Flare Blitz from Koraidon, and Water Spout and Ice Beam from Kyogre, whereas Tera Fairy makes it immune or resistant to Scale Shot and Low Kick from Koraidon and Draco Meteor from Miraidon. Offensive teammates that benefit from the hazards set up by Groudon such as Calyrex-S, Calm Mind Arceus formes, Miraidon, Koraidon, Zacian-C, and Extreme Killer Arceus are appreciated. As Groudon lacks recovery, revenge killers such as Choice Scarf Koraidon and other physical walls with access to recovery such as defensive Arceus formes are mandatory partners. As Groudon is unable to check special attackers such as Calyrex-S, Miraidon, and Kyogre, checks to them such as Ting-Lu and Clodsire are appreciated; they can set up hazards as well to form a hazard stacking core with it.

Tera Water allows Groudon to resist Behemoth Blade from Zacian-C and Flare Blitz from Koraidon mention Ogre Water/Ice coverage here, whereas Tera Fairy makes Groudon immune to Scale Shot from Koraidon and Draco Meteor from Miraidon. Offensive Teammates teammates which benefit from the hazards set up by Groudon, such as Calyrex-S, Calm Mind Arceus formes, Miraidon, Koraidon, Zacian-C, and Extreme Killer Arceus are appreciated. As Groudon lacks recovery, revenge killers such as Choice Scarf Koraidon and other physical walls with access to recovery such as Defensive Arceus formes are mandatory. mention partners that check special attackers like Mirai / Ogre / Caly (can put ting here as it covers mirai caly and forms a hazard stacking core)

Groudon is a decent pick for bulky offense teams thanks to its ability to check Zacian-C, Extreme Killer Arceus, Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground, and Koraidon due to its solid bulk. Access to moves such as Will-O-Wisp and Spikes differentiate it from Landorus-T. Will-O-Wisp allows Groudon to cripple Pokemon that it switches into (that it switches into or that switch into it?, also mention 1-2 examples). Roar is used to phaze foes such as Swords Dance Zacian-C, Swords Dance Koraidon, Extreme Killer Arceus, and Arceus-Ground that may try to set up on it, while also racking up chip damage from entry hazards. Protect is an alternative move which can be used to scout moves from the likes of specially offensive foes such as Calyrex-S, Miraidon, and Kyogre, and maximize Leftovers recovery (also include scouting choiced users in examples). Tera Water allows Groudon to resist Behemoth Blade from Zacian-C, Flare Blitz from Koraidon as well as Water Spout and Ice Beam from Kyogre, whereas Tera Fairy makes Groudon immune to Scale Shot from Koraidon and Draco Meteor from Miraidon (i'd fit in resisting low kick as well). Offensive teammates which benefit from the hazards set up by Groudon, such as Calyrex-S, Calm Mind Arceus formes, Miraidon, Koraidon, Zacian-C, and Extreme Killer Arceus are appreciated. As Groudon lacks recovery, revenge killers such as Choice Scarf Koraidon and other physical walls with access to recovery such as Defensive Arceus formes are mandatory. As Groudon is unable to check special attackers such as Calyrex-S, Miraidon and Kyogre by itself (you are making it sound like it helps in checking special attackers to say the least, probably reframe this), checks to them such as Ting-Lu and Clodsire are appreciated; they can set up hazards as well to form a hazard stacking core with Groudon.
