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 hunk of Metal Alloy.

Duraludon can Gigantamax into Gigantamax Duraludon if it has the Gigantamax Factor.

Biology

Duraludon in its quadrupedal firing stance

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

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).
