Duraludon Moves and Ability

The Official Japanese UNITE Youtube account uploaded a gameplay demo that showcases Duraludon's moves. Below are all the moves that were revealed in the demo.

Revolving Ruin

The gameplay video starts by showing Duraludon's UNITE move, Revolving Ruin, in a team fight. Here, we see Duraludon encircling the area with a laser beam then bursting with energy and taking down the opponent.

Dragon Pulse

The first move that was introduced was Dragon Pulse, which shows Duraludon channeling then letting out a sudden burst of energy, dealing damage to all enemies caught in the blast. It was also explained that defeating opponents this way will make Duraludon's next 4 Standard Attacks have increased damage and will heal Duraludon. Additionally, Metal Pulse's cooldown will be reduced from 10s to 5s.

Stealth Rock

The next move shows Duraludon throwing a Stealth Rock on the ground and damaging the opponent within the affected area. This is similar to Crustle's move with the same name and effect. However, the move appears to be invisible to the opposing team unless they are stepping on the affected area. Moreover, the move can be stored up to three times.

Laser Focus

The second part of the video shows Duraludon in the early stages of the match. In a brawl, we see Duraludon using Laser Focus to increase its defense and get out of danger.

Metal Claw

Next, we see Duraludon sending out a slash attack that deals damage to the enemy it hits. If you look closely, Duraludon's boosted meter is filled by one bar when it successfully hits the Vespiquen.

Heavy Metal

It was highlighted that Duraludon's passive ability, Heavy Metal, will allow it to block one disabling move per cooldown. In the video, we see Duraludon get damaged by Snorlax's move, Tackle, but does not get pushed back!

Dragon Tail and Flash Cannon

In the final part of the video, we get to see Duraludon's other set of moves. One of them was Dragon Tail, which sees Duraludon jumping back and unleashing a wave that deals damage and stuns an opponent. It is then immediately followed up by a Flash Cannon, which sends a wave of tremors on the ground that stuns the opponent it hits. Then, Duraludon stands its ground and fires laser beams at opponents that are within range.

It was noted that this set of moves is strong against single targets. This gives Duraludon some flexibility for handling different situations!
