Gigantamax no. 25: Duraludon

closing the year out with the last Gigantamax form in the base game
Vanilla Duraludon already looked kinda dopey, and Gigantamax Duraludon looks even worse. Bitch turned into a skyscraper, because that's a tall metal thing, right? Imagine having to commute and go to work in an office on the 35th floor of a goddamn Pokemon. I'd be sick. I would quit my job.

It's a damn shame they went this route, because so far none of the Gigantamaxes have leaned into the "giant mecha" niche, and this would have been a prime opportunity. But instead of Mechagodzilla we got the Burj Khalifa. Is that even the tallest building in the world anymore? Depends on when you read this blog, I suppose.


Overall: 200/1000

  1. Congratulations on this marathon! It should've been hard. Shame it has to end with...this. The base form was already forced into a lighter, and instead of a natural progress they force him into a building? That's barely different from its real life inspiration and feels more like publicity?

    Anyway, happy new year!
