How to Get Dynamax Duraludon in Pokemon GO (Can It Be Shiny?)
So, I was trying to figure out how to actually get an encounter with Dynamax Duraludon in Pokemon GO during the Steel Skyline event, and it turns out there are three different ways to do it! I’m excited to share what I found.
- The first way to get Dynamax Duraludon is to take part in Four-Star Max Battles in Pokemon GO. These will appear on your map, so it’s just a matter of waiting until Duraludon shows up. To find the ones near you, press on the bar underneath the binoculars icon. Go to the Power Spot tab, and a list of Pokemon will show up to battle against.
- The second way is to complete three Dynamax Battles (with any Pokemon). This Field Research Task will reward you with a Duraludon encounter.
- And the final way to get Dynamax Duraludon is to pay $2 for the Premium Timed Research (listed below) for Steel Skyline. The tasks involve catching Pokemon and making Nice and Great Throws, with the final reward being an encounter with Dynamax Duraludon, as well as 800 Max Particles and 3000 Stardust.
And great news – a shiny version of Duraludon is now available in Pokémon GO! Here’s a look at how it differs from the standard version:
