Archaludon moves
Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Archaludon starts every run with Metal Claw: a steel swipe in an arc.
The level-up cards can then offer 13 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 5 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.
- Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
- Steel moves: Metal Claw, Flash Cannon, Meteor Mash
- Dragon moves: Dragon Rage, Dragon Dance
Weaknesses and resistances
Archaludon takes extra damage from Fighting (1.6x) and Ground (1.6x). It resists Poison (0.3x), Grass (0.36x), Normal (0.6x), Water (0.6x), Electric (0.6x), Flying (0.6x), Psychic (0.6x), Bug (0.6x), Rock (0.6x), and Steel (0.6x). The remaining 6 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.
The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Archaludon are the ones whose first type is Fighting or Ground. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Steel or Dragon moves do not hit harder just because Archaludon shares the type.
How to get Archaludon
Archaludon is part of the Paldea banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (1.5% for Legendary) and then picks one of the 12 Legendary Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Archaludon a 0.13% chance. Every banner has its own pity counter: the 70th pull without a 5-star is always a 5-star, which works out to about 43.5 pulls per 5-star and roughly 522 pulls to land this particular one.
A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 300 coins, or 900 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.
Shiny Archaludon exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.
Archaludon as an enemy
Archaludon never shows up as a regular enemy because 5-star Pokemon are left out of the enemy cast.
It is also strong enough to be picked as a boss: it can fill the minute 9, minute 12, or minute 15 slot. Boss fights are laid out in the bosses guide. Its attack set would be a ground slam, a leap onto your position, a fan of beams, and falling danger zones.
