Molten Groudon Erupts Coloring Page

Groudon in its Primal form is a sight to behold, with magma flowing through the cracks in its body like living lava. This legendary Pokémon from the Hoenn region becomes even more powerful when it undergoes Primal Reversion, and that transformation creates some really dynamic visual elements that translate beautifully to a coloring page. The contrast between its solid body and the glowing molten energy coursing through it gives you plenty of opportunities to play with different techniques.

What colors work best?

The classic approach uses deep reds and oranges for the lava channels, transitioning from bright yellow-white at the hottest points to darker crimson at the edges. For Groudon’s body itself, try charcoal grays or dark slate blues to make those glowing sections really pop. You can also experiment with purple-reds mixed into the magma for a more intense, volcanic feel. Some colorists like adding touches of black around the lava cracks to create extra depth and make the whole thing look like it’s actually burning from within.

Did you know?

Primal Groudon is one of only a few Pokémon that can undergo Primal Reversion rather than Mega Evolution, and it’s said to have shaped the continents themselves in ancient times. When Groudon takes its Primal form, its type actually changes from pure Ground to Ground/Fire, which is reflected in those glowing magma patterns. The temperature of real magma ranges from about 700 to 1,300 degrees Celsius, and the color actually indicates the temperature—the whiter and brighter it glows, the hotter it is.

How to color this one

Colored pencils work really well here because you can layer them to create that glowing effect. Start with your lightest yellows in the center of each lava crack, then build up layers of orange and red moving outward. Gel pens in metallic gold or copper can add nice highlights to the hottest spots. For the body, use smooth, even strokes to create that rocky texture, and consider leaving the areas right next to the lava slightly lighter to suggest they’re being lit up by the intense heat.

Who’ll love this?

Pokémon fans who appreciate the legendary creatures will enjoy this one, especially those who remember Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. It works well for older kids and teens who have the patience for blending colors and creating gradients. This is also a good choice for anyone who finds repetitive coloring meditative, since those glowing patterns give you multiple chances to practice the same technique.
