CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Archaludon gathers static electricity from its surroundings. On all fours, it can release beams of considerable force. It also spends time in mountains digging holes to find food. Its body withstands impacts so well that a landslide seems unable to stop it. The Pokédex thus connects a rugged way of life with solid defense and an attack fueled by energy gathered around it.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Scarlet notes that Archaludon draws static electricity from its surroundings before firing beams on all fours. Pokémon Violet describes it digging in mountains and being tough enough to withstand a landslide.
