Where the number comes from

The figure is Groudon’s Pokédex weight: 950 kg, or 2,094.4 lb, at a height of 3.5 m (11 ft 6 in). The same numbers appear in X and Y, Sword and Shield, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Scarlet and Violet, Legends: Z-A and Pokémon GO.

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire added Primal Reversion. Holding the Red Orb, Groudon returns to what the games call its true form: 5.0 m (16 ft 5 in) tall and 999.7 kg (2,203.9 lb), and it gains the Fire type. It grows 1.5 m taller but only 49.7 kg heavier, about 5% more.

The bulk fits its story. The Omega Ruby entry calls it the personification of the land itself, and the X and Legends: Z-A entries say it expanded the land by evaporating water with its heat.

How it compares with other heavy Pokémon

Only two species outweigh Groudon: Celesteela and Cosmoem, tied at 999.9 kg. Groudon shares third place with Eternatus at 950 kg, just ahead of Mudsdale (920 kg). Primal Groudon, a form rather than a species, sits in between at 999.7 kg, 0.2 kg short of the record.

It is the heaviest Pokémon from Hoenn (Generation 3) by a wide margin: next come Metagross at 550 kg and Wailord at 398 kg. It is also the heaviest Ground type, and Primal Groudon is the heaviest Fire type, well ahead of Gouging Fire (590 kg).

Groudon vs. Kyogre

Its rival Kyogre is the longer of the two at 4.5 m, but weighs only 352 kg, so Groudon is about 2.7 times heavier. Primal Reversion widens the size gap rather than the weight gap: Primal Kyogre grows to 9.8 m yet weighs just 430 kg, less than half of Primal Groudon.

What its weight does in battle

Low Kick and Grass Knot hit harder the heavier the target is, and reach their maximum power of 120 against anything over 200 kg. Groudon always takes the full-power version.

Heavy Slam and Heat Crash work the other way: the more the user outweighs the target, the stronger the hit. Groudon can learn both in Scarlet and Violet (TM121 and TM189). At 950 kg, the move has 120 power against targets under 190 kg, 100 up to 237.5 kg, 80 up to about 317 kg, 60 up to 475 kg, and 40 against anything heavier. Against Kyogre, at 37% of its weight, that means 60 power.
