Strategy & play
How Duraludon VMAX plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (G-Max Pulverization) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Hits for 220 — one-shots most single-prize attackers and many ex, but not 300+ HP walls.
- Needs Fighting / Metal Energy to attack — note its own type is Dragon, so build for the attack cost, not the type.
- A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
- Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
How to beat Duraludon VMAX
- Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.
