YEA I REMEMBER THAT
*It’s MYTHICAL not legendary!*
Dark... what?
Hehehehe... Yeah, Groudon wasn’t the only Legendary Pokemon that someone evil wish for Jirachi to revive... And it was Kyroge... In the Adventures Emerald Manga...
Imagine if this is Mega Groudon.
*shows pic of Virus Groudon and regular Groudon*
Spot the difference
Kyogre: They are the same picture
@Kyogre all I see is something that needs both of its asses kicked
@@AnhLe-pu3ct what's inside the brain of a pokemon may never be friendly friendly family friendly fam ua
Make virus groundon and groundon on a hand on bgg hand battle
@Kyogre Omg im a fan kyogreeeeee you are my fav legendary
Kyogre: Their both stupid
When virus Groudon get that grass typing
Kyogre: *panik*
Oh shit, this could have been our first ever grass/fire type. Damn that makes this thing so unique.

@@zyrillesadventurei5104 Yes,
I remember watching this as a kid and thinking “that’s not the Groudon I remember....”

@The Dumbest Comment hell on earth
The groudon itself isnt scary
Imagine if rayquaza, kyogre and groudon on that form with the orb and mega evolution happens
*Shit’s gonna come down, i know it....*

I was kinda confused at first
Kyogre: Yeah, f**k this. I'm out.
oh god
a groudon kyogre cant flush
oH *GOD-*
Rayquaza: WHAT THE FUCK IS GO- oh okay imma leave now.
Arceus: WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP DOING THIS STUFF?! *spams judgement*
This is really funny taking in count this Groudon apparently has vines in him, making him a grass type that can put Sunday as he enters, and finally, can learn solar Beam.
Eternitus, Necrozma, and the Ultra Beasts: "Yo nice place you guys got here, mind if we crash for a whil-
*Sees Yee-Yee-Ass Groudon*
"This is why Arceus left you guys."
Fun fact when I first saw this movie I called this Pokémon “Suckdon” since it was a Groudon that sucked up Pokémon with its tentacles.
makes since
Not gonna lie the name kinda nice 😂
SUCC-don
Rule 34
@@buccaneerguy8197 Kyogre le- oh wait! The rule 34 artists pushed him back in!
Virus groudon is 787 feet tall. It’s the largest “Pokémon” by a long shot.
240 meters tall!?
yep, not even the gigantamax pokemon get that big, hell most of em are actually under 100 feet
In a different video, gigantamax virus groudon is 3 miles tall or more.
@@chalmersgoh2482 posisksmsmwjnmmmm 3 MILES TALL????!!!
@@NepetasShippingWall1642 so did it get smaller or bigger 🤔
groudon is my favoret pokemon and when I saw that I was like that isn't my baby
A 3.51 m tall baby :)
Hell it scared ten year old me
SAAAME!
Same
But i kind of like it
I had purged this from my mind and then this happened. Need another 10 years to purge this again.
🙏
Yeah honestly it's weird that I know I saw this movie once or twice just completely forgot like the second half of it, especially something is messed up as Virus Groundon.
@@dannybeane2069 You really had to say GrouNdon?☹️
I suggest hard liquor
...Every ten years, every ten years.
I personally believe that when the rune that "Groudon" was supposed to be born from was just drawn incorrectly and that the slight error caused a horrible mutation, creating a mindless being that hungers for organic matter, assimilating it in a vain attempt to "purify" itself, and that the only bit of Groudon that's actually there is its vague appearance of Groudon. That's just what I think at least.
That makes so much sense!
...too much sense...
@@ShadowtheRonin
We have to go deeper
I always assumed that it was a huge flaw in the machines design
@@neptuneplaneptune3367 or that it was trying to ressurect Groudon who wasn't dead
Maybe if it devoured jirachi and actually digested it it would become a real groudon
Virus Groudon: "Hello Godzilla from Shin Godzilla"
Godzilla: "Hello Virus Groudon from Jirachi Wish Maker"
*both transform into demonic, grotesque monsters capable of destroying cities*
The whole virus groudon felt like an homage to the headless forest deity sequence in princess mononoke which was also caused by human greed and selfishness which negatively impacted the environment around it. Trees and animals died whenever the gooey tendrils of the decapitated night walker touched them as it looked for its head. Pokémon basically did a family friendly version of that entire sequence (since nobody died)
I've always loved that the anime was willing to do crazy off-the-wall stuff like this. The idea that a creature like that could exist in the Pokemon world is awesome.
1:43 I nearly pissed myself.
jirachi mind: hmm how should we kill it?
audiance: blow it to tiny pieces
jirachi; ok
Lol
I remember watching that film as a kid and being surprised why virus Groudon was never in the game. It would have an amazing final boss for a post game villian and better represent the environmental message of RSE
Or maybe even a virus kyoge variant depending on the gsme
"He should have just went to GameStop"
and those were the wisest words my ears have heard
According to the ORAS Pokedex. Groudon is 11ft tall. I don't think that's right.
Game and show have different sizes, Groudon is 37ft in the show
The old ruby game's Pokedex has this feature to compare the trainer's and the pokemon's size. And you would look like an ant compared to Groudon.
Groudon could fit in your house if it ducked low enough
@@MEffie-pt7bt If we still had that we wouldn't have stuff like Haunter being bigger than a grizzly bear.
I don't have a problem with 11ft Groudon... I have a problem with 11ft Groudon looking like it's 6ft in the same 3D game that lists him as 11ft
That movie was actually one of the first Pokémon related things I've ever watched when I was a kid, so I actually meet this Groudon before the normal one.
I believe same too actually
Same here. Not my first pokemon thing. But it was atleast a year or two before I saw groudon in advanced battle
So did I
Same, came along with the corrupted celibi on a probably pirated disk.
I think I encountered this Groudon before the real one.
Third act: we stop your kid friendly pokémon game to bring you: Shin Godzilla!
Im actually so happy i wasnt the only one to think about shin godzilla
Yeah
same
Shin Godzilla before it was cool.....and a thing
Deoxys: hi Gardevo-
Rayquaza kills Ho-Oh
Jirachi is the Red Haired Gardevoir Latias.
Manaphy and Shaymin plays Monopoly.
Victini: MOM! PHINEAS AND FERB ARE MAKING A ROBLOX GAME!!!
I guessed that it was because the machine hadn’t finished. Max and ash saved jirachi and butler’s little beacon just stopped, leaving the incomplete pattern of a Groudon, which mutated to the virus Groudon we know
Would’ve been cool to see Primal Groudon fight against this virus abomination!
No one:
Literally no one:
Kyogre: *Kyogre is NOT very happy to see you*
Lol
What if there was a Virus Kyogre
Everyone:Jirachi's wishmaker
me:Flygon's best moments
Honestly as a kid, I thought that was just the normal groudon lol. Then I saw an episode with an actual groudon which is not even a quarter of a size of the virus groudon which made me kinda disappointed
We're gonna talk about that wood monster Celebi in the fourth movie
*looks at next video in line up*
@@Blackholefourspam same
I swear late gen 2 and early gen 3 movies were nightmare fuel
"He should have just gone to game stop"
you know what... fair
shouldve just used an action replay
Honestly, I have a weird love of virus Groudon. This monstrosity was just so viscerally wrong and haunted my dreams and imagination for years. I've always been interested in incredible morbid strange things, but man did this make it so much worse Xd
I actually wish that this virus groudon actually existed and it could be dark/ground type. And you can catch with pokeball after defeating it in battle
Maybe it could be a Gmax
Ir would be better to be uncatchable using normal pokeballs
Since it's a virus ir would corrupt your pokeballs unless you use some kind of anti-virus pokeball
@@annaalexandra8715 yeah but dark type is usually associated with evil so it would also fit.
Wait now that I think about it dark poison would be a good type for it.
By not having ground the game would be telling you"this is not groundon. See it doesn't even have ground type".
@@fallenfromabove69 it's already, like, over 300 feet tall
It’s cooler than primal Groudon
I've been a Pokemon fan for 15 years. *cracks back* ..*mumbles to self* Pokemon is for everyone. I watched this when I was a kid. Im 25. Ive watched every movie, and played every game. I was saddened that they didn't put it into Pokemon Emerald. Or any future Pokemon games.
This Groudon will forever hold a special place in my heart. A friend of mine once wrote a whole fantasy story about me as a king, my then girlfriend as my queen, my school yard friends as servants, my hobbies making up the primary design of my land, and even some bullies as the antagonists, one of which was able to do what this Groudon did in a very scary part of the climax; spawn tendrils and absorb all my friends, and only I could save them and restore order to the land. I was 10 at the time, so this was an absolute magnum opus to me XD And this Groudon inspired one of the best parts of that story. So thank you, nightmarish hell Groudon! :3
I low-key want to read through this
@@Karthikkun2805 I would love to share it! Unfortunately I don't remember where it went 'XD I'll be sure to hit you up if I ever find it :P
@@potitishogun2961997 I mean I am good at writing fan fictions so if you don't find it I might as well end up writing it nyself
@@Karthikkun2805 Haha that would be pretty hype ngl xD You could go ahead and write it anyway? c: I'm a writer myself, so I always like reading other people's works ^^ (altho not books, not enough of a concentration span-) The main focus of this land my friend made was based around Lego. I still remember the first line... "King Martin was pondering in his throne, whether it was legal to throw away a Lego brick." The guy was TWELVE when he wrote this brilliance xD
@@potitishogun2961997 lol
Imagine if when False Groudon would have been born in Pokémon: Jirachi-Wish Maker, the real Groudon would have shown up from having been nearby.
Would Groudon and False Groudon have tried to interact with each other or would they have fought each other as soon as they would have met face-to-face?
That would be such a cool fight
Thank you very much for replying, GatorEX.
The false groudon was much bigger than an actual Groudon. It would probably suck real Groudon up as well lol
@@grydon6422 well if groudon was in its primal form it would have got the advantage and became bigger
Raizen Ramos no, even Primal Groudon is tiny compared to this thing. This Groudon would probably just suck eaither versions up
I thought that corrupted monstrosity was a figment of my childhood imagination. Something I must have dreamed up. Seeing it again is...
...unsettling, to say the least.
I remember when I was super little, I used to go to this game store and always get pokemon games. One time the store was playing this pokemon movie, and one of the employees saw me watching it intently and bought it for me. I watched the whole thing at home and loved it, and how terrifying it was. Idk where is now but I'm pretty sure I memorized this movie.
Yes Virus groudon was definitely bigger than either of Groudon's forms: OG Groudon is only 11 feet high, with primal strangely being only 5 feet higher.
Hell Virus groudon is probably bigger than the gigantamax pokemon, since most of them are under 100 feet, with only a few exceeding it, it was likely around centiskorch's giganta length (which is 250 ft or so)
This movie made Flygon my Ace for over 15 years. When this came out I got it and ruby on my 7th birthday, and the scary Groupon eating everyone terrified me. But seeing the Flygon scenes where it did more than a salamence and pikachu and basically saved the day, made it, and Absol my favorites in every game since.
i used to call it "Nightmare Groudon". though now i call it "Shin Groudon".
Agreed, i also call it " Zombie Groudon ".
When I first saw that I thought it's the primal groudon everyone was talking about
Gosh that thing is just literally terrifying in the jirachi movie
when i was younger i actually loved virus groudon. i've always loved weird scary stuff, especially with giant monsters. i also loved armageddemon from the second digimon movie.
Somehow, i started thinking about meta/virus groudon again today.
Back when i was a kid, i didn't know that much about Pokémon, at all.
But now, knowing more about it.
This "fake" Groudon is absolutely terrifying from almost every perspective.
The amount of destruction it did in such a small amount of time, i'm not sure if any other mon could've restored all that damage. (Maybe Zygarde could do it, and even finish the fake Groudon with Core Enforcer, but geez.)
It's highly likely that both this groudon and the uh. corrupted celebi from the celebi movie were heavily inspired by the god in Princess Mononoke, the Studio Ghibli film.
Dude that design is cool as hell. Thank you for making a video on it! I’ve never heard of this movie or this version of Groudon before.
Only Pokémon can go from a fun-loving, action adventure movie to a horror film with the flip of a switch.
This thing stemmed so many nightmares for me. I'm guessing literally everyone felt that way when they saw this thing.
I always thought it was because he used a contamined sample in his rush to be proven right rather than making sure the DNA was pure and complete, resulting in whatever microorganism infecting the sample being used to make the mutant Groudon
Imagine if they would retroactivly make this into a paradox form of groudon?
This was litterly a Evangelion episode with an battle against an angel
I just discovered your channel through gen 5 music video and after watching few more i really like your style. You have such a little number of subscribers but i am a new one and i think you'll definitely get much more subs in future. Keep going and never give up!
Thanks!
I would've called him...
*_Corruptodon._*
I kinda wish for some movie exclusive pokemon like Virus Groudon got more representation in modern day... Even if just a nod to it being a threat of the past.
This thing is like, “Primal Groudon who?” 👀
I love when tendrils or vegetation are animated flailing around like whips. I’m weird like that 😋
Also cause, necromancy. That guy revived a dead Pokémon, let alone a legendary. We love that here.
I was going through my childhood memories and suddenly remembered "hey, wasn't there a pokemon movie with a creepy fake goo version of groudon that ate people and stuff?" Glad I found this video.
Yeah, now that i remember this Groudon looking Abomination from my Childhood, i also remembered the bubble scene, where he captured everyone (ash and co.) and probably wanted to disolve them.
This is my favorite scene
When i saw groudon: "this isn't groudon. *terrified out of my life"
There are terrifying creatures in movies or games (like the red bull in "The Last Unicorn" , Hexxus'es 2nd form in Ferngully or Virus Groudon in this movie) that give me the vibes of true fear. I don't know why, but I love that kind of creatures. ❤️
There are many alternate versions of pokémon that I wish I could have in the actual game.
Armored Mewtwo, this Groudon, Shadow Lugia.
This Groudon haunted my dreams when I was a mere child for so long, it's the only thing I clearly remember from the movie it was in.
That's obvious! It's just a Groudon of the virus type... wait, wrong franchise
Digimon?
Somebody forced it to evolve but triggered a dark evolution
According to the Bulbapedia, it’s called Meta Groudon. Dunno why but that apparently what they called it in Japanese.
Basically if groudon was a grass type and in the middle of an identity crisis
Virus Groudon was the stuff of ny nightmares as a kid, the way he devours everything is scary enough
Impersonally loved this version of Groudon. It scared the heck out of me as a kid but looking back, the fact I felt a scared as I was in a Pokémon movie is impressive itself. But the design and plot actually isn’t half bad either.
Maxie: "Guess I need to be Careful again About Groudon I guess"
jesus, you made me remember what i had repressed for years.
virus groudon gave me nightmares as a kid.
Dang yeah when I was younger it definitely made me pause and rewind in disbelief
Ive been litterly Having nightmares of this pokemon sinse i was a kid and ive been wondering where i saw it
So, Bio Broly, but with a Pokémon that can nuke everyone like an organic Metal Gear?
Still would have been cool if there was an arc in gen 3 were you could battle and capture evil groudon
I remember geeking over theories with this as a kid and my friends just having no idea what im talking about
That’s literally how Kirby kills every monster in his anime 😂
Yeah those monsters are like a quarter gunpowder
The take away: even creating a monster of pure destruction and evil is more appealing than going to gamestop
Great video. Ive never seen that form of groudon. Keep up the great work.
This freaked me out as a kid, just seeing the way it mindlessly consumed all around it with and everyone just getting taken left and right was insanely freaky
The 3rd Pokémon movie with entei and that girl was really strange even as a kid.
This was actually my first time seeing Groudon in Pokémon media, so it was the original that ended up looking weird to me.
YO I THOUGHT THIS MOVIE WAS A FEVER DREAM I HAD, WHAT
GatorEX: It turns into a Kaiju movie
Me: QUE GODZILLA THEME!
THE GODZILLA THEME WAS PERFECT FOR THIS XD also I watched King of the monsters it's a good movie also I think the weather trio has one of the best themes in the games
2:39 yeah they are wrong cause you know about Malamar in the pokemon XY anime?
And how about the galarian legendary birds
The galarian legendary birds aren't actually related to the original. They're just called Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos because they look like the original. Like Alolan Vulpix. Personally still dislike it, and I don't know how in the world they got Articuno from the Galarian one, but okay. Also sorry if that sounded rude, don't mean to be rude.
1. The anime really shouldn't be taken anywhere close to seriously when it comes to Canon, since they really just do their own thing when it comes to lore. The perfect example of this is the recent season Journeys, since they made Ash's Dracovish a happy-go-lucky pokemon who likes to swim
2. The Galarian birds aren't evil, they're just assholes on a little bit of a powertrip. G-Articuno is cruel and cocky, but it doesn't pick on anything in particular. G-Zapdos is brutal and aggressive, but it only ever picks fights with things stronger than itself. G-Moltres is incredibly destructive and relentless, but only when something provokes it
In any case, the clip with Ekans saying "Pokémon do bad things because master bad" was made many years before Malamar even existed
Aw sick! This was my favorite movie when I was a kid!
I had locked this memory for a reason.. you unlocked this. I wont be sleeping for some time
I often imagine myself as Torchic with my partner Pikachu and Groudon in PMD1 fanfic Battling this Fake Groudon Creature with Yoshi Island Final Boss Theme
Do you still think about this
@@ibrahimnote2 YES. And Always and Always Will.
Instead of making a legendary Pokémon, it made an earthbound immortal instead
The manifestation of human evil, in the form of an originally innocent animal/Pokemon is terrifying. Like imagine this irl, human evil in the form of say, an elephant or a polar bear 😳
I legit watched it so long ago and now i am watching it, this legit gives me memories
What's up! There could be only ONE Groudon, not that fake one 😤
when i was in 4th grade, my friends and i pretend to play pokemon, but then my friend pretend to summon Virus Groudon and the moment he said " Tentacles suck you" i immediatley said "Dugtrio use dig"
Bro this movie made me cry as a kid and if I watched it again today I'd probably cry again.
That thing inspired SO many final boss scenarios for me in middle school! It still has some influences.
Kyogre would have killed it with his smile
Kyogre: Ha, he's still a fire type, this will be easy
*Hours later*
Kyogre: How?! Everything I throw at him decays before it can ever touch him, WTF?!
Rayquaza: Will you two stop fighting?--
Suddenly Virus Groudon grabs Rayquaza and pulls him into his decaying flesh
Rayquaza: Holy shit, he's eating me, do something?!
Kyogre rushes over to pull him free.
Rayquaza: Pull harder...
Kyogre: I am--
Suddenly they are both pulled it and die. Normal Groudon watching the whole play out from behind a rock puts down his soda.
Groudon: That was very dark and very fucked up... But at least I can take over the world now--
Virus Groudon grabs Groudon too.
Groudon: No, you can kill me, I am you, AHHH!!!!
Virus Groudon: Burp
This groudon is looking like nausicaa's guardian
That thing always scared the shit out of me as a kid. Am glad they kept the cool eyes and mouth in the drawer for primal groudon though.
I remembered bits and pieces from this movie and that groudon terrified me
Wait it was supposed to come with a card?
I loved the movie and I found Virus Groudon a super interesting concept but I guess any big gooey monster was rad to me back then- Like True Chaos or whatever it was called in Sonic Adventure.
Ya know looking back onto this video, I think Giratina's origin forme may have been a part to play to embody evil in groudon, hence the spikes becoming longer and tendril-like and the gooey and evil appearance, akin to Giratina being portrayed as evil in a place where time and space is fked up.
When I saw this movie for the first time, and got to this part, I was so hype to see Groudon finally as I am a massive Godzilla fangirl. And then I saw it do this shit and went "WAIT WHAT".
When you added the Godzilla theme to this thing, I had huge HUGE flashbacks to being a tiny 8 year old watching Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla and having THE SAME REACTION when I saw Fake Godzilla. THANK YOU for providing this nostalgia trip 💙💙💙
It's been my favorite Pokemon since I discovered it. How they catch humans and put them in those red bubbles in his body is too gorgeous
2:12
"I'm even sure this thing is bigger than what groudon is supposed to be"
I mean, the anime has questionable scaling(See charizard's size for details), and Groudon in general has always appeared much bigger in the anime than it actually is(According to its dex entry, at least.)
In it's base form, Groudon is 3.5 metres. For people who don't know metric, that's eleven and a half feet.
Comparing this to the Flygon onscreen as you say this, it is MANY times bigger than that, as Flygon is 2 metres(six foot seven.)
I would rather say, that games has questionable calling :P (I mean come on, Furret and Charizard with almost the same size?)
The more gigantic size of groudon in the anime makes much more sense so I would rather say that it's dex entry pictures it as smaller than he actually is.
Also I think that way more people doesn't know feets, inches and all these unintuitive units, than people who don't know metric (they are really such people? I mean metres are standard units, so rather everyone know it (or at least should)
yknow... this really does beg the question: is it possible to create any other legendary just by obtaining the fossil? and does this imply Groudon was a common species before? because that'd explain legendaries a lot, maybe they were near extinct to the point one or two were alive when humans came around, and humans worshipped them as gods? Idk just spitballing but it's a cool concept, especially when you remember the ultra beasts, giant monstrous things that can decimate regions by themselves, are common species where they live
Groudon is the personification of the land itself, it's a pokemon that'd make no sense there being more then one of...
If anything Groudon was probably destroyed at one point and just respawned with a new body, and it was a shard of the remains of the old body that was used to create Virus Groudon!
@@ExcalibeonSwordofEeveelutions there is most definately multiple of most legendaries in canon, the weather trio arent the personifications of land sky and water, more like just ancient-nigh extinct species of pokemon that have great power and the ability to manipulate elements, in the anime, we've seen multiple regis, lugia, latios and latias, legendary birds, deoxys, rayquaza since we've seen both a green and shiny version, etc
the only legendaries/mythicals i can see there only being a singular individual are effectively gods of elements like time and space and all that jazz (dialga, palkia, giratina, arceus)
@@kritikill7779 1. You saying Groudon and Kyogre aren't the personifications of land and sea directly contradicts several of their pokedex entries and their lore which has been repeatedly told all of which say they are!
2. Trying to apply what occurs in the anime to the games is an immediate loss of credibility points, they are two separate canons so comparing them is like comparing Teen Titans to Teen Titans Go!
@@ExcalibeonSwordofEeveelutions This movie was an anime movie, and no it doesnt contradict anything as religions pop up all the time in the pokemon world worshipping pokemon, and there is a connection from games to anime, ash has been seen in the games (mimikyu pics in usum), and his greninja even appears in the games with battle bond, in usum, its stated that pickachu merch got popular 20 years ago and wouldnt you know it, ash started his journey 20~ years ago
@@ExcalibeonSwordofEeveelutions And are you seriously taking pokedex entries at face value? that alone is a laughable mistake on your part, if they were the personifications of land and sea or any other element, there wouldnt be multiple of them (theyve been proven time and time again to not be unique individuals)
I'd love for Pokemon to do more stuff like this
