Groudon @ Choice Specs

Trait: Drought

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpA

Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spe)

  • Earthquake
  • Stone Edge
  • SolarBeam
  • Fire Blast

Designed to Wallbreak.
Attack is 438, and SpA is 448.
Earthquake is very good STAB.
Stone Edge hits the likes of Lugia and Ho-Oh and formes EdgeQuake combo.
SolarBeam hits from the special side, and complements Fire Blast well. For once, Groudon can actually use SolarBeam.
Don't spam it mindlessly though, be very cautious when using it. You do NOT want to use it on a Kyogre switch in.
Fire Blast gets psuedo STAB and roasts any Skarmory trying to ruin the day. Also Ferrothorn and Forretress.
EVs give Groudon maximum offensive potential while Brave is chosen to make the Attacking stats more even and to not lower any of its defenses.

Earthquake-STAB, beastly attack

solarbeam-cover water weakness, good with ability

rock slide-cover ice weakness

EDIT-Eruption/flamethrower/fire punch-good powerful fire attack

Fire type attack needed. Covers both Ice and Grass weakness.
Fre Punch is better due to higher attack power. I also would rather have Stone Edge, the greater power is worth the lower accuracy.
RATS! I have to leave! It is all yours Trachy.

Groudon @ Leftovers

Trait: Drought
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Toxic
- Stealth Rock
- Roar
- Earthquake

Stealth rock is Stealth rock, Roar phazes some guys, toxic might cripple the opposing team if he has the opprtunity before he roars, e-quake is still awesome STAB incase of taunt and others.

Groudon@ Leftovers / Focus Slash
- Solarbeam -- Doesn`t need to load because of Drought, deals with water type's
- Fire Punch / Eruption -- Both very strong fire moves, boosed by ability
- Earthquake -- Beastly attack, deals massive damage
- Stone Edge / Swords Dance -- Stone Edge if you want coverage against ice type's, Swords Dance if you want to incease you're attack stat

NOTE: Drought + 3 stacks of Swords Dance + Fire Punch= Massive damage.
