Trivia

• Doryuzu has the highest Attack of all Steel-type Pokémon, tied with Metagross. It also has the highest HP of all Steel-type Pokémon.
  • However, Doryuzu has the lowest Defense of all Template:Type2 Pokémon, displacing Magnemite and Lucario.

Origin

Doryuzu is based on a mole with characteristics of digging tools such as shovels and drills.

Name origin

Its name is likely a combination of ドリルズ Doriruzu, drills, and 竜 ryū, dragon, the reading of the second kanji on 土竜 mogura, mole, when by itself.
