3rd Gen How come groudon is not part fire?

What does its name have to do with its type? It is the CONTINENTAL Pokemon. Continental = Ground.

No, Kyogre gets totally owned by Shedinja. The best ubers are Groudon or Mewtwo.

And like shane said, making it Fire/Ground would give it a 4x Water weakness while adding no beneficial resistances, so it's better off as pure Ground.

What if Kyogre had Ice Beam?

Kyogre vs. Shedinja!

Kyogre used Ice Beam!
100% Damage!
Kyogre Wins!

Bug pokemon has a weakness to Ice moves. Shedinja has 1 HP only. It's ability prevents any move that's normal or not super effective. ...

Kyogre owns Shedinja.
 
LOL Since when is Bug weak to Ice????

Shedinja can only be harmed by the following types: Dark, Fire, Flying, Ghost, and Rock.

Kyogre would have to carry Ancientpower, Rock Tomb, or Rock Slide, all of which are LOL on Kyogre since one of them would take away from its perfect moveset, just so it wouldn't be own by Shedinja.
 
No, Kyogre's Ice Beam will have no effect on Shedinja.

Please stay on topic. This is about Groudon, not Kyogre or Shedinja.
 
well magma (i think) is molten rock?

which would lead to the earth type, i guess they didnt want water types to completely own it so they left the fire type out ^_^

im so kelever xP

(lol some people have no idea about type match ups here xP)

*coughNEGATESGRASSWEAKNESSBUTWHOCAREScough*

And thanks for mentioning Mewtwo.

Eureka1: Magmar IS Fire-type >.>...

shanecdavis: Drizzle DOES ruin Drought...

And, um, yeah, the legendary duo were supposed to be single-types (notice they always have the same number of types), and Groudon is the protector of the ground, so...

Problem Solved.

Once again, you are nitpicking what I am saying. Offensively, Groudon doesn't rely on Drought as much as Kyogre does Drizzle. When Drought overlaps Drizzle, Kyogre's STAB move is halved, Thunder drops to 50%, and freezing is prevented. When Drizzle overlaps Drought, Groudon's only move that is affected is a Fire move, which it only has in its arsenal to gain the boost of Drought anyway. No serious Groudon set has Solarbeam.
 
This has gone off topic, and really doesn't need a reason for continuation. If you wish to discuss who is better who then make that thread so people who do not read all the pages are not confused and unneeded things come from that.
