I don't think you need platinum...he isn't a very high level, but you probably wont get him on your first try. oh, and make sure you have enough space for him. otherwise you'll never get him.

Probably because your level was too low. Groudon has a join rate of -10%. So if you want to have a chance to get it to join you need to defeat it with a pokemon that is lv60 or higher. But of course , you can always equip yourself with the Friend Bow.

He has a -10% recruitment rate. You need to be Lv. 60 and/or have the Friend Bow

With Friend Bow you need to be level ten. Hopefully you are at least level ten by the time you fight him with the friend bow...

You also should only bring 1 pokemon as groudon has a body size of 4 and you don't want to risk your partner killing him :p

i have a machamp lvl 60 and a platinum rank but i tried 6 times already and he wont join

So you're lv60 ? Let's see :
Without Friend Bow : -10 + 12.5 = 2.5%
With Friend Bow : -10 + 12.5 + 10 = 12.5%

It may take some time before it joins you.
