Overview

Duraludon are most well-known for their hard, shiny bodies. They are in fact composed of a special lightweight metal alloy, allowing these large creatures to move with great agility while remaining very resilient to attacks. The alloy is also highly reflective, blinding opponents using the light of the sun. Its main drawback is that it rusts easily, meaning that Duraludon must take care to avoid water. Thus, they prefer to inhabit caves or mountains with large overhanging ridges they can hide under to stay dry from the rain. Duraludon use their two asymmetric hands to grind stone into rubble before consuming it. They must consume a variety of minerals in order to strengthen their bodies. In some regions, these Pokémon are seen as rivals of fearsome Tyranitar, battling one another for control of mountain territory. A famous Galarian movie depicts a fight between a Dynamax Tyranitar and a Dynamax (Gigantamax in the sequel) Duraludon taking place in an urban setting.
