Trivia
Origin
Duraludon may be based on a rock wrecker or some other kind of construction/destruction machine, building how it is usually rivals with Tyranitar, which is a part Rock-type Pokémon. Its relationship with Tyranitar mirrors the rivalry of Mechagodzilla and Godzilla, respectively.
Its Gigantamax form resembles a skyscraper, specifically The Shard, the tallest building in the UK.
Etymology
Duraludon comes from duralumin (an aluminum alloy), durable, aluminum, dragon, and -don, a suffix usually used in dinosaur names. Its Japanese name may also derive from Jurassic, which is one of the three periods of the Mesozoic era, which was known as the age of the dinosaurs.
