Duraludon

Duraludon is a Steel/Dragon type Pokémon introduced in Generation 8. It is known as the Alloy Pokémon.

The metal composing its body is incredibly durable but also surprisingly light. It only weighs about 88 lbs. in total. Thanks to this, Duraludon can move quite quickly in spite of its appearance. Its body is weak to corrosion, however, and is known to rust easily.

Pokédex entries

Duraludon

Sword Its body resembles polished metal, and it’s both lightweight and strong. The only drawback is that it rusts easily.
Shield The special metal that composes its body is very light, so this Pokémon has considerable agility. It lives in caves because it dislikes the rain.

Gigantamax

Sword It’s grown to resemble a skyscraper. Parts of its towering body glow due to a profusion of energy.
Shield The hardness of its cells is exceptional, even among Steel types. It also has a body structure that’s resistant to earthquakes.
