Here’s the Pokemon Unite Duraludon character spotlight (Update)

Duraludon is out on March 14

[Update: Duraludon is now live in Pokemon Unite, and . There are a few minor changes, including alterations to Mr. Mime’s Guard Swap, and Ninetails’ Aurora Veil.]

Last week The Pokemon Company unveiled a new fighter making its way into Unite on March 14, and now we have 🌃to make it official.

Duraludon is an attacker, which will feel right at home to a 🧜large number of MOBA players who just want to trigger abilities and see numbers fly across the screen. Interestingly it employs a turret-like strategy with its ranged attacks, and has access to AOE (with a damage over time effec🧔t) with stealth rock.

As per usual (and this applies to cross-regional patch notes for Pokemon Unite as well), the six-and-a-half-minute Japanese spotlight video is actually more educational,ꦅ providing an actual rundown of the character with commentary and text. The English version is a 30-second gameplay drop that forces you to glean every bit of info with🍒out specifics.

You can find both below, but for stat-hungry players. The gist is that Duraludon is a tanky attacker, with the power to cancel a knock back or knock up once every 30 seconds (heavy metal), and has the ability to “mark” enemies to deal more damage to them.

This mechanic is commonly known as a “hunter’s mark,” and could add a lot more depth to Duraludon than we first thought. Duraludon also adds quite a bit of utility as stealth rock can slow, and it seems fairly resilient.
