Pokémon Trading Card Game Archaludon

This official Pokémon Trading Card Game Holo card features Archaludon, the powerful evolved form of Duraludon, as a Stage 1 Metal-type Pokémon. The artwork showcases its imposing, bridge-like metallic architecture, a fortress of alloy and energy.

Archaludon is a formidable support and offensive Pokémon. Its Metal Bridge Ability grants a massive strategic advantage: “All of your Pokémon that have {M} Energy attached have no Retreat Cost.” This allows for incredible board flexibility and free switching. Its attack, Iron Blaster (cost: three Metal Energy and one Colorless Energy), deals a crushing 160 damage, enough to take down most targets. The drawback is that “During your next turn, this Pokémon can’t attack,” requiring strategic planning for its knockout blow.

Classified as a Rare Holo card (denoted by the star symbol and holographic finish), it has a massive 180 HP. It carries a Fire-type Weakness (x2), a Psychic-type Resistance (-30), and a three-Colorless Energy Retreat Cost (mitigated by its own Ability). This card is a powerhouse for Metal decks, offering unparalleled team mobility and serving as a devastating finisher.
