Duraludon#884

Strong point: Sp. Atk — higher than 92% of species. Its weakest point is Sp. Def — lower than 79% of species. This is not the final form yet — it evolves once more, so the numbers above describe this stage, not what it will end up as. On defense it has 2 weaknesses, 9 resistances and 1 full immunity. Poison-type moves do nothing to it at all.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Atk; weak point: Sp. Def.

A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Sp. Atk, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.

Which nature to choose

It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (120) is 25 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all. Evolution does not change it, so pick it for the final form, not for these numbers.

  • Timid +Spe · −Atk Its Speed is higher than 70% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
  • Modest +SpA · −Atk If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

How players use it

Data from 44,274 ranked battles on Smogon (Gen 9 UU, 2026-07). These are not numbers from the game — they are player habits. Gen 9 UU is one tier lower: it is played without the Pokémon most often used in OU, so the same species hold completely different places here.

Rank 156 among 274 Pokémon in use — it is on 0.15% of teams.

Tera Type Flying 94.8% Steel 2.4% Fighting 2.2%

Each row is a separate distribution, not a single set: the most common item and the most common move do not have to appear on the same Pokémon.

Pokédex entry

Its body resembles polished metal, and it’s both lightweight and strong. The only drawback is that it rusts easily.

Offspring can come from 117 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.

The Egg hatches after 30 cycles, which is roughly 7,900 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
