Pokémon Trading Card Game Duraludon

This official Pokémon Trading Card Game card features Duraludon, the sturdy Alloy Pokémon, as a Metal-type Basic Pokémon. The artwork by Takeshi Nokomuro showcases Duraludon’s metallic, industrial design, illustrating its durable but heat-retaining body that vents warmth from the slits in its tail, as noted in its Pokédex entry.

Duraludon is a resilient attacker that thrives under pressure. Its first attack, Hammer In (cost: one Metal Energy), deals a reliable 30 damage. Its second attack, Raging Hammer (cost: two Metal Energy and one Colorless Energy), deals a base of 80 damage, plus 10 more damage for each damage counter on this Pokémon. This means the more damage it has taken, the more powerful its counterattack becomes, encouraging aggressive play.

Classified as an Uncommon card (denoted by the diamond symbol), it has a solid 130 HP. It carries a Fire-type Weakness (x2), a Psychic-type Resistance (-30), and a three-Colorless Energy Retreat Cost. This card is an excellent choice for Metal decks needing a durable Basic Pokémon that can serve as both a sturdy defender and a potent late-game attacker.
