Duraludon (Japanese: ジュラルドン Duraludon) is a dual-type Steel/Dragon Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.
It evolves into Archaludon when exposed to a Metal Alloy.
Duraludon can Gigantamax into Gigantamax Duraludon if it has the Gigantamax Factor.
Biology
Duraludon is a tall bipedal dinosaur-like Pokémon with large feet, a chunky tail, and a head integrated into its neck. Its body is mainly light gray and dark blue, with zigzag patterns running down its body, gray bands around its arms, and two black slits on its lower chest. Its hands have four triangular indents. Duraludon's head has a small red section and multiple slits on it. It also has yellow eyes with green pupils, and it appears to be permanently scowling. It moves its upper jaw when opening its mouth. Duraludon armor has a smooth feel, similar to a mirror finish.
Duraludon's body is made of strong, but surprisingly light, special metal. The armor is both durable and resistant to scratches. Weighing only 88 lbs. (40 kg), it can move very fast. However, its body can easily rust, so it lives in caves and mountainous areas and avoids rain. The metal body also has a risk of overheating, so it vents the heat out through the slits inside its tail. It uses its arms, which have slightly different shapes from each other, to grind down rock surfaces for food. Duraludon has a rivalry with Tyranitar, which it shares its habitat with, and they often battle each other in the mountains of Galar.[1] It mainly resides in caves and mountains within cold areas.
Duraludon and its evolved form, Archaludon, are the only known Pokémon that can have Stalwart as an Ability.
Forms
Duraludon has a Gigantamax form.
Gigantamax Duraludon is much larger and resembles a skyscraper. It has a massive glass plate on its abdomen, and its chest has glass panels that resemble windows. It also gains a horn-like protrusion on its head, and metal strips on its feet resembling toes. Three red clouds surround its neck. In its Gigantamax state, parts of its body glow due to an abundance of energy. The cells in its body are exceptionally durable, even among Steel-type Pokémon, and it is resistant to earthquakes thanks to its body structure. Gigantamax Duraludon is the only known Pokémon capable of using the G-Max Move G-Max Depletion.

Trivia
- Duraludon was officially revealed in a trailer for Pokémon Sword and Shield on July 8, 2019, along with Alcremie, Rolycoly, and Yamper.[2]
- With the addition of Archaludon, Duraludon has become the fourth non-fully evolved Pokémon to have a Gigantamax form (after Pikachu, Meowth, and Eevee).
- As such, Duraludon is the only non-fully evolved Pokémon introduced after Generation I to have a Gigantamax form.
- As Gigantamaxing is exclusive to Pokémon Sword and Shield and Archaludon was introduced in The Indigo Disk, this is the only such case where both the evolution and the Gigantamax form cannot be found in the same game.
- Duraludon has the highest base stat total of any Pokémon that is capable of evolving.
Origin
Duraludon and especially its Gigantamax form seems to be based on The Shard, the tallest building in the United Kingdom. Based on its name, the metal that covers its body is presumably duralumin, an aluminum-copper alloy that is strong and light, but not very resistant to corrosion. Its rivalry with Tyranitar may be a reference to the kaiju genre of films. Its overall body shape resembles a theropod dinosaur.
Name origin
Duraludon may be a combination of duralumin, durable, dragon, don (Spanish for lord), and -don (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).
