There are only a handful of veteran Pokémon fans who don't recognize Groudon, the mascot of the Ruby Version. A vicious Ground-type with formidable Attack stats, Groudon was given a new "Primal" form in Pokémon Omega Ruby during the sixth generation of the series. It won't show up in this game, in particular, but this game will show you insights into what changed between its release and the release of Omega Ruby. Furthermore, according to the item's auction listing on Heritage Auctions' website:

The third generation of Pokémon games represents a significant evolution in the Pokémon franchise. Many iconic and fan-favorite Pokémon species were introduced in Gen 3's new Hoenn region. Groudon, the mythical Ground-type Pokémon, is featured on Pokémon Ruby's cover. Due to the popularity of this Pokémon generation, Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire received remakes on the 3DS in 2014.
