Archaludon (Japanese: ブリジュラス Burijurasu) is a dual-type Steel/Dragon Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
It evolves from Duraludon.
It was revealed during the Pokémon Presents that aired on August 8th, 2023.
Biology
When Archaludon faces danger, it will extend its normally bent torso. It also trades away its mobility in exchange for more stable center of gravity. Archaludon appears resembles a magnificent steel bridge while in this state.
The terminals located at the end of its limbs can gather and store static electricity. This allows it to fire a powerful beam made up of electric energy, an energy not normally charged within its body. Archaludon can gather more static electricity more quickly during storms and other inclement weather. This allows Archaludon to fire off its beam much faster.
Evolution
Archaludon evolves from Duraludon.
