As of the writing of this article, you cannot catch a Groudon that has a Combat Power (CP) within the permissible limit for the Great League (1,500 CP). Thus, you will not be able to use this beast in your Great League team.

However, there are lots of great Ground-type attackers that you can use in the Great League. For instance, Gligar and its shadow variant, Swampert and its shadow variant, Galarian Stunfisk, Steelix and its shadow variant, Quagsire, and more are great Ground-type attackers you can use for your Great League team.

While you can build a team with Groudon for the Ultra League, the Combat Power limitation will prevent this Pocket Monster from performing to its full potential. You cannot use creatures with a CP above 2,500 in the Ultra League of the GO Battle League. So, while you can have a Groudon within that CP limit, creatures in the game perform best when their stats reach their maximum potential.

If you still want to use Groudon in the Ultra League, you can form a team with the following creatures:

• Registeel
• Pidgeot
• Cresselia
• Tapu Fini
• Steelix
