This is a long-range build that turns Duraludon into a hard-hitting turret. It is centered around maximizing Duraludon's damage during Flash Cannon.

Since this build focuses on single targets and will leave Duraludon vulnerable, it's important to get a safe position first before using Flash Cannon, preferably behind allies.

Rapid-Fire Scarf works well with Flash Cannon since its effect can trigger even while the move is active, allowing Duraludon to attack faster and dish out more damage. Focus Band improves Duraludon's durability and acts as a survivability tool during Flash Cannon.

X Attack further improves Duraludon's damage output during Flash Cannon through damage amplification and increased attack speed.

List of Battle Items

Best Moveset

Move	Explanation
Flash Cannon	Flash Cannon's synergy with Dragon Tail and Revolving Ruin is really great for bursting down targets and catching enemies off-guard with a sudden burst of damage.
Dragon Tail	This move lets Duraludon gain more distance from enemies and allows it to position itself or setup for Flash Cannon.

Flash Cannon and Dragon Tail have great synergy when partnered up and offer a huge burst of damage that can easily overwhelm enemies. Flash Cannon not only covers a huge range to deal damage, it also allows Duraludon to use another move and battle items when active, so using Revolving Ruin and battle items can help boost its stats massively. Dragon Tail can serve as an adjusting tool and let Duraludon gain more distance from any approaching enemies, but it also guarantees Duraludon's next attack to be boosted.

You can be flexible when choosing a moveset for Duraludon. Although Dragon Pulse is best paired with Stealth Rock, and Flash Cannon is best paired with Dragon Tail, any combination is perfectly fine as long as you know how to make them work.

Stay Behind Your Allies

Like with other Attackers, Duraludon is not a durable Pokemon and can easily be pressured if you get too aggressive. So, it is best to stay behind the lines and wait for the enemy team to commit to a fight. Fortunately, Duraludon's kit has a decent enough range for you to pressure enemies from afar without the need to face them head-on. This is especially true when you are running Flash Cannon as it leaves you open to being piled on by multiple opponents.

Avoid Pokemon that have Burst Potential

While Duraludon's kit can easily melt multiple enemies and single targets, it is not fast enough to stave off Speedsters that can pressure low HP Pokemon. Be mindful of the enemy team's Pokemon that have burst potential. Make sure to always top off your HP to avoid being quickly knocked down, especially when you are facing Pokemon that have high mobility and high damage like Talonflame or Absol.

Marked Targets Receive Increased Damage from Dragon Pulse

Hitting opponents with Standard Attacks, Metal Claw, or Stealth Rock will mark them. It can be stacked up to 5 times and will be removed if you do not hit the enemy after a short time. Marked targets are dealt more damage when they are caught in Dragon Pulse's blast, so be sure to mark all targets in the area before activating the move to get the most damage!

Take Advantage of Multiple Dragon Pulse Activations

When you defeat a marked opponent this way, Duraludon's next 4 Standard Attacks will have increased damage and will heal Duraludon. Additionally, Dragon Pulse's cooldowns will be reduced from 10s to 5s. This will give you enough time to mark your targets with Standard Attacks again until you can use Dragon Pulse again. This allows you to potentially chain multiple Dragon Pulse activations to clean up a fight!

Watch Out for Pokemon with Full Heal

Pokemon equipped with Full Heal can remove all of Dragon Pulse's stacks (blue markers) from themselves, preventing you from maximizing the move's damage. It's best to either target Pokemon that don't have the item equipped or wait for Full Heal is on cooldown.

Full Heal Effect and How to Get

Pressure Opponents with Stealth Rock

Stealth Rock is a great offensive move that can continuously pressure an opponent's HP from afar. It can also be used to zone out opponents while getting marked. What makes it different from Crustle's Stealth Rock is that you can have up to three charges of the move and the affected area is invisible to the enemy team until one an opponent steps on it. Below are some ways you can fully take advantage of the move.

Prevent Opponents from Scoring

Once an area is affected by a Stealth Rock, it will deal continuous damage to all enemies standing on it. This means that you can place it on an allied goal zone and prevent opponents from charging up and scoring. Moreover, You can even stack multiple Stealth Rocks on top of each other to get around the shield Buddy Barrier produces. And, since Stealth Rock is invisible to the enemy team, it will take a moment before they will notice what they are standing on!

Pressure Opponents in Choke Points

Set up traps for your enemies by placing Stealth Rocks in narrow areas. This is especially effective if you have an All-Rounder or Defender that can bait enemies into a fight while standing in the affected area. And, being invisible to the enemy team makes this move a great trap to set when teams clash for objectives.

Other Moves Can be Activated While in Flash Cannon

When Flash Cannon is activated, Duraludon will stand its ground and fire laser beams at the first target within range. Once activated, Duraludon will not be able to move until the move ends your you use the move again to stop. However, you can still activate your other moves while in this state.

When opponents get close, you can increase the distance with Dragon Tail while being able to damage and stun them. It is also possible to activate Duraludon's unite move, Revolving Ruin, while Flash Cannon is active allowing you to catch your opponents off-guard with a sudden burst of damage!

Battle Items can be Activated too

Battle Items can be activated too while Flash Cannon is active. This gives you a bit more flexibility and protection, which will depend on the item you are running. X Attack makes the move more deadly as it increases Duraludon's Attack damage and speed. Eject Button helps you reposition Duraludon in case an enemy gets too close. Lastly, running a Full Heal will help give Duraludon more protection from knockbacks as it is not unstoppable while the move is active.

Pick Flash Cannon's Targets with Advanced Controls

While using Flash Cannon, you will only be able to target one enemy at a time until it is defeated or they get out of Duraludon's range. We advise you to turn on Lock-On Icon in the game's Controls settings to get more control out of targetting with Flash Cannon. By utilizing this, you will be able to cycle through targets and focus down on low HP opponents!

Targeting and Aim Assist Guide

Use Revolving Ruin at a Safe Distance

Revolving Ruin is a great finishing move that can easily knock down enemies caught in its radius. Although the move can be devastating when you get to activate it in the middle of a clash, it is still best to keep a distance when activating the move since you can still be knocked down in the middle of channeling the move, especially if you do not have a Buddy Barrier equipped. Like Duraludon's other moves, Revolving Ruin's range is wide enough to damage opponents from afar.
