Groudon @ Red Orb
Ability: Drought
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Mild Nature
- Swords Dance
- Precipice Blades
- Rock Tomb
- Eruption
The combination of Desolate Land and Primal Groudon's high Special Attack transforms Eruption into a nuke when Primal Groudon is at full health, giving this set immense wallbreaking power! Due to Eruption's sheer power, this set isn't countered by common Flying-types and Arceus-Ground, unlike Primal Groudon's classic Stealth Rock + Swords Dance set. This set even has tools to beat Fire-resistant Pokemon; for example, Primal Groudon can bypass Arceus-Water with +2 Precipice Blades. A Stealth Rock setter such as Necrozma-DM or Arceus-Fairy would be a useful partner, as Primal Groudon likes to have hazard support to help it wallbreak. However, this set cannot take on Xerneas due to its poor bulk, so a check or revenge killer for Xerneas, such as Necrozma-DM or Arceus, is appreciated. Although it performs very well versus bulky teams, Primal Groudon needs help against offensive teams, so Arceus, Marshadow, and Yveltal are all good partners due to their priority.
