With the recent debut of Duraludon in "Pokemon Unite," many players will surely use this Alloy Pokemon successively. This is the perfect time to test what this Dragon monster can offer its team, given its unique ranged attacks.
This is also the ideal period that will help you identify the current position of Duraludon in the latest meta.
This guide will show you the best items, builds, and more for this new Attacker in the game.
Brief Background About Duraludon
Judging from its appearance, Duraludon can pass as a blocker since it looks like a tough metal to deal with. However, your impression of it might be wrong since "Pokemon Unite" made it a monster attacker for some reason.
The difficulty in playing Duraludon might be complicated for some. But, once you master its skills and its cooldowns, you can see perfectly time every blast that you want to throw into your enemies.
For its best lanes, Game8 selected it to be the best at the bottom lane. The game site indicated that it's worst when placed in the jungle.
For its pros and cons, let's begin first with the good ones. In "Pokemon Unite," Duraludon is regarded to be one of the best attackers with a high offense. It's noteworthy to mention its ranged attacks, which are suited for team fights.
The progression of its skills and abilities is pretty good, too. However, Duraludon is too frail for enemies since it lacks defense and mobility.
'Pokemon Unite' Duraludon Best Builds
There are three builds that you can try for Duraludon. We have the Flash Cannon Build, the Dragon Pulse Burst Build, and the Full Dragon Burst Build.
Dragon Pulse Burst Build
- Moveset: Dragon Pulse, Stealth rock
- Held Items: Focus Band, Buddy Barrier, Focus Band
- Battle Item: Eject Button
For overall survivability and team fight, this build is what you need to try for Duraludon. Dragon Pulse goes well with Stealth Rock, especially if you aim a huge AOE damage.
Muscle Band is a great damage booster for the items that you should not leave. Meanwhile, Focus Band and Buddy Barrier are both good to keep you last longer in combat.
Since Duraludon is not that mobile, you need to quickly get out of the fight during an emergency through the Eject Button. You can also use this to initiate a fight.

Flash Cannon Build
- Moveset: Flash Cannon, Dragon Tail
- Held Item: Focus Band, Muscle Band, Scope Lens
- Battle Item: X Attack
This time, you are the main damage dealer of your team, so you need to have Flash Cannon as your main arsenal. Paired with Dragon Tail, you can wreak havoc on your enemies in just one combo.
To amplify your attack and critical hits, we suggest you equip Scope Lens and Muscle with this Alloy Pokemon. Of course, you still need to survive - that's why we add Focus Band to the list. X Attack will be your booster to deal more damage to the enemies.
Full Dragon Burst Build
- Moveset: Dragon Pulse, Dragon Tail
- Held Items: Muscle Band, Attack Weight, Buddy Barrier
- Battle Item: Eject Button
Another good build you need to take note of is the Pure Dragon build. With that, you need to get Dragon Pulse and Dragon Tail to increase your aggression to the opposing team.
Buddy Barrier will give you protection during Unite Move, while Muscle Band and Attack Weight will grant you a huge power in your attacks.
Best Time to Pick Duraludon
According to The Gamer, you should pick Duraludon in your team if you have a good blocker teammate. They will shield you while you attack the opponents in the front line. Ideally, the likes of Mr. Mime and Snorlax are the go-to options for this.
