Strategy & play
How Team Magma's Groudon plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Its main attack (Pulverize) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Needs Fighting Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Fighting / Darkness type, weak to Grass ×2 — a Grass attacker doing ≥50 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
How to beat Team Magma's Groudon
- Exploit its Grass weakness — ≥50 damage one-shots it.
- Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
