Dragon Pulse Effect

Dragon Pulse In-Game.jpg

Charges power before dealing damage to opposing Pokemon in the area of effect. The user's movement speed is decreased while charging, but the longer the power is charged, the wider the move's area of effect becomes and the more damage it deals. After the user learns this move, a damage marker will be attached to any opposing Pokemon the user damages. When Dragon Pulse hits a marked opposing Pokemon, it deals additional damage to the Pokemon for each damage marker attached to it, then removes all the damage markers. In addition, if this move knocks out an opposing Pokemon, its cooldown is reduced, and the user's next basic attacks will each deal additional damage and further reduce this move's cooldown when they hit.

How to Use Dragon Pulse

Utilize Wide Coverage

Dragon Pulse has a wide range of effect, a fully charged Dragon Pulse covers almost an entire lane in its radius. Keep this in mind when taking out enemies that have Dragon Pulse stacks but are too far to catch by foot.

Attract Wild Pokemon

You can also utilize the wide range to attract Wild Pokemon, forcing them to approach you instead of your enemies. Once they're grouped up, take them out quickly with attacks.

Attack After Defeating an Enemy

When you defeat an enemy Pokemon using Dragon Pulse, your basic attacks deal additional damage and reduce the move's cooldown. Always attack after defeating an enemy with Dragon Pulse, allowing you to use it again.

Pay Attention to the Blue Glowing Effect

You'll know that your attacks have the additional effects when Duraludon has a blue glowing effect.

Why is it bugged? The move Dragon pulse goes on cooldown after going on cooldown.
