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!
