Character info
The character
Archaludon is a Steel/Dragon-type Pokémon that evolves from Duraludon. It is known for the large bridge-like structure formed by its tail, which it reportedly uses to span chasms and assist other Pokémon in crossing difficult terrain. It digs for food in mountains and is noted for its hard, resilient body.
This card
This is card 213/208 from the Chinese CSV9C set, a Stage 1 AR (full-art) holo rarity card. The illustration by Toshinao Aoki depicts an oversized Archaludon forming a bridge over a market street, with townsfolk and children reacting to its scale. The card is printed in Simplified Chinese and carries a 2026 copyright line.
How it plays
Archaludon has 180 HP and is weak to Fire (x2) with a resistance of -30 to Grass type; its retreat cost is two Colorless energy. Its Ability, Steel Gangway, removes all energy needed for retreat from any of the player's own Pokémon that have Psychic energy attached, as long as this Pokémon is in play. Its attack, Steel Detonation, costs two Colorless and one Star energy, deals 160 damage, and prevents this Pokémon from using any attacks during the player's next turn.
