Archaludon outlasts its foes with its impenetrable defenses and never-ending stamina! Draco Meteor takes out opposing Dragon-types like Latias and Kyurem, while Thunderbolt threatens Skarmory, Corviknight, and Azumarill. Flash Cannon eliminates Fairy-types such as Hatterene, Mimikyu, and Alolan Ninetales. Body Press capitalizes on the Defense boosts from Stamina to deal with Chien-Pao and Kingambit. Stealth Rock provides pressure against Pokemon like Kyurem and Greninja, which often overpower Archaludon with their Choice Specs sets. The given EV spread allows Archaludon to survive a Draco Meteor from Modest Raging Bolt and outpace Adamant Kingambit and Azumarill. Latias offers a Ground-type immunity and handles Clodsire, Zamazenta, and Great Tusk, as well as boasting utility support via Healing Wish to give Archaludon a second chance late-game. Gouging Fire is an excellent teammate to soak up moves from Iron Valiant and Iron Hands, absorb Will-O-Wisp from Sableye and Rotom-W, and deal with Ghost-types such as Gholdengo and Spectrier.
