History FanonPokedex / Groudon

Groudon is an enormous, heavily-armoured reptilian Pokémon which bears a slight resemblance to a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therizinosaurus therizonosaurus]]. The underbelly is dark grey, while the rest of its body is covered by a series of overlapping red armour plates; the divide between the underbelly and armoured epidermis is demarcated by a row of white spikes, and the scales between the armour plates form strange geometric lines that occasionally glow with eerie blue phosphorescence.

When sufficiently exposed to ambient natural energy, it undergoes a process know as Primal Reversion, growing an additional five feet. The divides in its armored epidermis become filled with what appears to be lava, generating an immense amount of heat.

While not the largest, Groudon is easily the heaviest known species of Pokémon, out-massing Snorlax at an incredible 2094.1 lbs, or almost 1 ton.

* Groudon [383]

Groudon is an enormous, heavily-armoured reptilian Pokémon which bears a slight resemblance to a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therizinosaurus therizonosaurus]]. The underbelly is dark grey, while the rest of its body is covered by a series of overlapping red armour plates; the divide between the underbelly and armoured epidermis is demarcated by a row of white spikes and the scales between the armour plates form strange geometric lines that occasionally glow with eerie blue phosphorescence.

The creature’s broad fore claws each possess three bladelike fingers and a thumb, while the feet have only three spiky toes. Groudon possesses a distinctive four-ridged crest on its head, and this crest is echoed by the four blades protruding from the end of its broad tail. Finally, the creature possesses a mouth full of serrated teeth, which will be replaced by teeth from a secondary row if knocked out.

Groudon is an extremely rare species of Pokémon; in the last century there has only been one sighting, when the creature was briefly roused from its slumber by the eco-terrorist organization known as Team Magma. Despite this, the Earthshaker appears in sculpture, cave paintings, statuary, and many other forms of art throughout Hoenn’s long history; this artistic evidence, when combined with fossilized bone and tissue fragments, show that the creature was indisputably real.

Despite not being a Fire Pokemon, Groudon apparently possesses powerful pyro-sacs which enable it to launch searing gouts of flame from its mouth. In addition, the creature displayed no discomfort whatsoever when observed ''sitting in a pool of magma;'' thus, it can be inferred that Groudon is impervious to extreme heat and unfazed by the poison gases normally present in areas of volcanic activity.

Furthermore, the creature’s association with volcanoes has also translated into a belief that Groudon is a spirit of death and rebirth, much like the lava floes that, while deadly, inevitably increase the amount of arable land. The souls of the dead are carried along the pyroclastic flows of the underworld to Mt. Pyre, where they must learn penitence before they can return to the land of the living. Because of the immense spiritual importance of the mountain, a Blue Orb, fashioned eons ago by inhuman hands and tied to the Continent Pokémon’s power, rests atop Mt. Pyre’s summit.

although the presence of enormous, serrated teeth would seem to indicate that Groudon is a carnivore, it cannot be said what the creature's eating habits are with any certainty.
