This Duraludon is a steel/dragon-type Pokémon owned by Raihan.
Biography[]
Duraludon is Raihan's ace Pokémon. It battled Leon's Charizard, Gigantamaxing but still lost.[1]
When Macro Cosmos researchers confronted Sonia outside his gym during the Darkest Day, Raihan appeared and used Duraludon to scare the researchers off.[2] Duraludon was later seen battling a Dynamaxed Kommo-o just as Goh caught Eternatus.[3]
After Raihan was notified that he would be facing Ash in the World Coronation Series, he sent Duraludon out to train for the upcoming match.[4]
During Raihan's match against Ash, Duraludon was sent as Raihan's final Pokémon after his Goodra had been knocked out in a double KO against Ash's Gengar, who he had Gigantamaxed. Duraludon went against Ash's Lucario, who Raihan immediately Gigantamaxed. Lucario used Double Team and two Aura Spheres, but Duraludon was unaffected despite it being super-effective due to the Gigantamax state. Raihan then ordered a G-Max Depletion against Lucario, but it ended up dissipating the attack by charging an even stronger Aura Sphere. Raihan was left stunned before ordering Max Rockfall, but the bond-phenomenon Aura Sphere powered through the rock wall and crashed into Duraludon. The attack knocked Duraludon out, causing Raihan to lose the match.[5]
