I wasn't sold on Entei as a Hadrosaur until you reminded me of the roar. Hadrosaurs are famous for their trumpet-like nasal cavities to enhance their vocalizations.
It’s also part of trio type of dinosaurs Theropod, Sauropod and Ornithopod Unless they went wild and make Paradox Entei a Pteranodon, it’s probably going to be a Hadrosaurus
Fun fact there is also an old theory that the Parasaurolophus was capable of breathing fire. Of course that wasn’t the case in real life, but it could be further evidence for it being the dino for paradox Entei.
Yea that’s so cool. I can’t even get motivated to research something I really need in a year but he is like ,, oh great new Pokémon video. So research all about them ,,
Not only did Lockstin shoot and have this video edited in less than a day, but Vergolophus got a whole art commission done as well? Now that's impressive.
What to name the Ancient Entei? Also! It turns out there's a bridge that connects Spain and Portugal that looks just like Archaludon! I missed it! Big thanks to Skyverzul for showing me. Link here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guadiana_International_Bridge
Hey Lockstin, a lot of people are saying that the new Duraludon evo is actually a reference to the giant bridges in Unova because the trainer who uses it is called Drayten, similar to the dragon gym leader in Unova called Drayden. People think he might be his grandson
Actually, taking a look at Archaludon's legs, it appears the legs resemble the Guadiana International Bridge, which is located in Portugal. In fact it's the road that connects Southern Spain and Portugal together. The X bridge patterns on its front then could resemble the 25 de Abril Bridge, which is ALSO in Portugal. Fun fact: it was made by the same person who made the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Also idk what it is about Iron Crown, but it.. actually looks pretty cool. Like idk what it is about it but something about Iron Crown just makes it look better than most of the other Future Paradox imo, besides Iron Valiant. My friend says it's possible Iron Crown is a steampunk motif rather than the chromium metal material we usually see from the Future mon, which it could be up. I can't pinpoint why. But when I saw Virizion I just thought it was just Virizion but robot and that was it. But Iron Crown, it looks like Cobalion... but they must've added SOMETHING extra to this to make it cooler than the others. Is it the horns? Is it the extra joint plating? I don't know!
I think it’s the slight abstraction from regular cobalion rather than a translation. But personally I think it could have a bit darker blue and then it would look cool.
Thank you for bringing that up. I was hoping Lockstin would notice and mention that. Of coast DLC or not, SV IS still Iberic in inspiration, and us Portuguese fans where kinda left hoping for more, which Archaludon did satisfy a good bit 😭🙏
That actually makes a lot of sense. The Golden Gate bridge is a very well-known landmark in Japan, owing to the fact that California is a common entry point for the Japanese into the US (I mean, there's Hawaii, but for many, it's just a waypoint and not the final destination), so another bridge made by the same guy in the same area as Spain would be incredibly sensible for inspiration.
I liked Iron Crown from the start because from the short in game clip showcasing it, you can see that its feet kind of melt away into a liquid, kinda like Melmetal, which is fitting for its probably Steel type and also a distinct feature from other future paradoxes mons.
Fun Fact! Hadrosaurs were once hypothesized to breathe fire, due to the interesting inner structure of the parasaurolophus’ head crest. I wish I could remember more about it. Beyond what you said about the display, Entei being a Hadrosauroid-like Pokémon is pretty likely
I was taught that pseudoscience in Sunday school back when I was a kid. They tried to say that it was the leviathan from the Bible so they made a huge reach and said that parasaurolophus breathes fire. It's a popular (but incorrect) idea in the Christian circles I was in. Maybe other religions that have the leviathan myth too but idk for sure. I probably still have an old religious book that promoted this myth and other discredited ideas about dinosaurs. I'm not religious anymore and needless to say, it's a little embarrassing to look back at the weird things I believed about dinosaurs and stuff. 😂 I believed parasaurolophus could breathe fire even when I was definitely old enough to know better lol.
One interesting thing about Archaludon is how it makes the entire evolution line be based off of Kaiju and the things they commonly destroy, buildings and bridges. And this time the bridges are also doing Godzillas breath attack via electricity and the electric back plates, even its new move works like Solar beam but for rain and is electric type it’s literally absorbing lighting to power up
Slight correction - London Bridge is a totally different bridge to Tower Bridge, and is just a basic bridge rather than the elaborately designed Tower Bridge. It's also the second version of it as the original was sold and moved piece by piece to the US.
Technically it's the third version. Technically. As when the Saxons were warring in Britain there was a wooden bridge that spanned the Thames - if I'm remembering correctly I think London was still being called Londinium.
I don't know if it was intentional but I love how your design for paradox entei being a hadrosaur references an old, fringe theory which suggested that parasaurolophus could breathe fire. It was completely nonsensical even for the time and has become a meme in the paleo community in recent years
That. Is. Fun. I mean it even makes sense. Paradox mons are imaginations, so what else than a Hadrosaur being able to breathe fire making it into reality
HUUUUGE props to the artist for dino Entei! I thought it was just going to be a quick sketch given the tight turnaround but they delivered us a whole masterpiece!
Bleh.. sure the art is good but the direction is so dumb. How do you even get mammal like pokemon to Dinosaurs? Im so glad I retired from pokemon after Sun and Moon this is just getting stupid.
One other thing about Dripplin; I think it's design is partially inspired by its evolutions Gigantamax forms. Flapple and Appletun sharing one was already a neat gimmick, but because of that it was both an in-between of the two while also heavily resembling Applin. Plus it having the gooey ring around it, and the way its head pops out the top when it attacks also call back to this form. Flapple and Appletun had the most unique of all the Gigantamaxes, so it makes sense they'd want it to live on in some other way.
To answer your question, Portugal has a famous suspension bridge that is one of the symbols of its capital city Lisbon. The "25 de Abril" Bridge is very similar to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
5:38 The DLC takes place abroad from Paldea. Not to mention it's clearly a hint toward the Gen 5 remakes. They said one of the trainers would be related to one we know. Drayton's name is similar to Drayden's, his hair is the same shade of white (albeit with a blue highlight because he's part of the Blueberry Elite 4) if he matted down the hair spikes, it would closer to Drayden's hair, his ace pokemon is dragon-type and said ace pokemon resembles Unova's Skyarrow Bridge, (which is based on the Brooklyn Bridge). Unova confirmed, it all comes together.
how has not even lockstin noticed... applin was one wyrm, but when it evolves into Dipplin, now there are supposedly two wyrms inside (or just 2 beings), sorta a reference to worms becoming 2 different beings when split in half in some media (idk if it happens in real life).
It happens with flatworms, so probably not the typical worm you find in apples (though flatworms are really small, maybe they could show up in an apple? I don't know. In any case, there are definitely mythological dragons that have been known to do that, most famously, the hydra.
I actually think Iron Crown (Mecha-Cobalion) isn't too bad a design as far as the future paradox pokemon go; it has an art-deco 'Metropolis' feel to it that elevates it over the others.
I was thinking it might be based on cars. It has the little speed wings and with what was described with iron leaves, this trio might be more based on certain car traits.
Turns out I was right. Their names even came from cars that would of launched in the future in relations to the games coming out. The Toyota CROWN and the Nissan LEAF. Way too coincidental now!
Applin's Evos never lived up to the "worminess" I loved from OG Applin, but now with Dipplin we have all of Applin's charm AND some usable Stats! There's even a built-in friend on the back, like those Halloween horse costumes!!!!! This Gen is great for worm enjoyers!
I like the idea of a Paradox Entei being a hadrosaur, but I could also see it being based on one of the "armored dinosaurs" (triceratops/stegosaurus/ankylosaurus)
I think iron crown is actually one of the most interesting future paradox pokemon so far! it actually changes quite a bit compared to the other future paradox pokemon!
@@magomuddy2626 this is very much copium lmao, the fact ur happy about a tiny change in design proves that. All the future forms are just the same Pokemon but metal they all suck ass ( except iron valiant )
Well that was quick lol. Also, love how Duraludon is getting an evolution in Archaludon. Always thought that it should evolve back in SWSH. Glad that it has come true in SV.
I'm happy they kept the object basis prominent and wore it as a badge of honor. A staple remover/London bridge hybrid is wonderful, it's so goofy yet intimidating!
I like it to its cool af.......but it is a fact that it DID NOT DESERVE A EVOLUTION, if it got it in gen 8 then that would be fine, but in gen 9, u could evolve pokemon like skarmory or tropuis which people been wanting for ever (Others too but those are the most popolar).......and I think what makes it worse.....is DURALUDON WAS ALREADY A GOOD POKEMON....IT DIDNT NEED THIS......... like this isn't hating the pokemon, ITS COOL and I can't wait to use it...... but THEY SHOULD OF they could of differnt mon (all this applies to dipplin as well) if they wanted this, put it next gen or one after.......NOT THE ONE RIGHT AFTER
I remember when the pokedex said that Duraladon was a rival to Tyranitar and honestly, I could never see it being on the same level. This evo definitely helps it in that regard.
@@Accountthatexists One, your grammar sucks and it deems your comment unreadable. I know this isn't hate and all... But still. And two... Gallade and Dusknoir exist and I don't remember people complaining about it... Dusknoir... It's... It's cool, I guess. It's Dusclop's Evo from Gen 4. And Dusclops was from Gen 3. Just One Generation Apart... Wow. And also, Duraludon isn't that good... It has an Amazing Typing, sure... But it's not even good enough to be in UU... It's in Never Used! Which sucks since I love Duraludon's Design so much... And what happened after Dusknoir got released? Well, after, after that since Eviolite... When The Eviolite was introduced, Dusknoir just faded into Oblivion due to Dusclop being more reliable in Doubles/VGC since, when given The Eviolite, it's Tankier! So I think this'll happen to Duraludon/Archaludon too! Since I know a set for Duraludon where its Typing/Defences are put to more use. For Dipplin, Gallade is a match since... It's a Split Evo from Gen 4 and Kirlia/Ralts are from Gen 3... Did people rant about it like you? No. And Gardevoir isn't even bad at all... I've had one in almost every Hoenn Playthrough since Psychic is still Pretty Amazing. Sure, you can say Gen 4 was all about New Evo to "Older Pokémon" and all... But come on, if you say that Dipplin doesn't deserve to exist (This can be seen as you said "All this applies to Dipplin as well"), then Gallade also doesn't deserve to exist...
I love the horn on your speculative Paradox Entei idea. In part as it aligns with something I noticed after Raging Bolt. That the trio might have stuff referencing the Qilin/Kirin. W.W. has the feet (walking on water aspect more so), R.B. has the neck, so Paradox Entei having the horn would fit in nicely.
My prediction: Paradox Entei either will have its big silver spikes turn into wings and resemble a pterodactyl OR It’s yellow crest on its head will turn into 3 horns and resemble a Triceratops.
Ngl, Raikou is probably my favorite Pokémon as of lately, since sauropods just piqued my imagination with their almost unnatural size, I mean come on! Imagine a damn lizard the size of a 10 story building walking past you and shaking the earth! That’s awesome
@@andrewmolek5247 Yeah, either one of those or a hadrosaur fit Entei pretty well. Going to be interesting once Indigo Disk's release date gets closer and we get to see what it looks like
As I mentioned before, you make Pokemon that seem random to me, make sense. I hope you're right about a Paradox Entei. And now I can't see Iron Crown without thinking of Metal Sonic. XD The new Pokemon are cool too.
Totally forgot there was a Presents earlier today. Nice little surprise right before bed-time. Thanks for the quick turn-around to break it down, Lockstin!
Cobalion is already my favorite Fighting type and one of my favorite legends. This new Paradox Cobalion is just so freaking COOL to me! Can't wait for your vid on the trio down the line
I'm still wondering what its other typing will be. Very likely to be part Steel as that was Cobalion's, and if Iron Leave's move is any hint then Iron Crown's will also get a boost in Electric Terrain
Thank you for including the little bit of speculation on paradox Entei, it really was a fun little section based on what you found about the Japanese dinosaur exhibit, and I cant wait to see how similar paradox entei ends up being, as I think you figured it out!
For the point at 5:40 there actually is a fairly famous suspension bridge in Lisbon called the 25 de Abril Bridge (meaning 25th of April Bridge). The reason it is famous is because it connects to the province of Almada which contains the Christ the King statue.
TBF Paldea seems to be the region of "hey we haven't made a Pokemon of that yet lets do it". Some of the executions on this are a bit simplistic (Flamigo) and some are out there (Palafin), but I feel like an electric-type sauropod was one of those 'obvious' things that wasn't made into a mon yet, until now at least. The dinosaur beasts I'm digging actually, I thought Entei would be a triceratops or similar species personally, though the hadrosaur seems more likely now that you mention it.
3:21 wow you actually pronounced that right the 1st time, good job Lockstin. I will say being a hadrosaur would be a bit of a 180, interesting, since hadrosaurs are usually associated with water while Entei is fire type.
worth noting that there was a brief assumption that parasaurolophus’s crest was used to house a fire-breathing organ. there’s a few older illustrations online
Insterestingly, there was an old speculative dinossaur book that came up with the ridiculous idea that the parasaurolophus breathes fire by combining chemicals stored on their horns, kinda bombardier beetle style. So there is a tangential link between the fire type Entei and Parasaurolophus
The aratasaurus is a possible dinosaur that could fit as an inspiration for a paradox entei. I mean, the meaning of the name is quite literally "lizard born of fire". Also, I think that Archaludon's bridge inspired design would be a reference to the "Guardiana international bridge". Which is a huge suspension bridge that connects Spain with Portugal.
i love how much effort you put into getting this out so quickly, but one small thing is tower bridge and london bridge are actually entirely different bridges lol
My favorite Fakemon are ALWAYS the weird ones, and whenever GF manages to out-weird them like with Archaludon here, we get wonderful results. It's an arms race of weirdness! Objectmon enjoyers stay winning!
Lockstin, thank you so much. I was about to make my own video with opinions of SOME of the information released during the presents and you already covered most of them. I'm especiialy glad because of two things you mentioned: In its “unstretched” form, Archaludon really looks like stapler or staple remover, and the second one, you “calmed” the rage that started bubbling in my head, after seeing so many Poké fans and even PokéTubers, that mentioned, we practically could expect a Unova based game as soon as next year. For those people, I'd like to mention this: Just because someone's name is similar to another character (Drayton → Drayden) and just because that character uses a monster similar to some element known for concrete generation (bridge = Unova), it doesn't automatically mean, we will be getting Unova based game. The ONLY thing, that IS confirmed, we WILL be getting the third member of paradox trio for both Entei and Terrakion (but: what about Keldeo?) Anyway, great video, I have less work to do. 🙂
I'm betting Entei's gonna be either a Triceratops or a Stegosaurus, mostly due to the amount of spikes on his face mask and back. Leaning towards Stegosaurus since the back plates are heat-sinks... I think.
@@insertclevernamehere1186 No paradox suicine is walking wake dude and the area zero pokemon does not look like walking wake. it looks like Entei's paradox form. Im calling it and if its right I will come back here.
@@insertclevernamehere1186 Also if you pay attention in the anime Entei is one of the pokemon that they will meet and most likely it will be that same form that the sketch of that area zero pokemon will be.
@akiraasmr3002 so what, you think that the drawing in the violet book is Terrakion? The whole point is that they are meant to be imagined pokemon, they aren't gonna be one for one like in the book, same as Great Tusk and Iron Treads. Besides, just because the ancient adventurer had an Entei, it's no guarantee that it'll be a paradox pokemon, especially since Terapagos isn't even in Paldea in the Anime...
Love these videos explaining the new paradox pokemon! Speaking of futuristic Coballion (and Virizion), do you think you'd be interested in making a video about the Swords of Justice trio/quartet in the future? They're based on the three musketeers, which I think is a pretty interesting idea for a pokemon group to be themed after. Again, loving the videos. Keep up the amazing job ❤
It makes sense that Blueberry Academy is off the coast of Kitakami because both Karmen and Kieren go to Blueberry Academy. They are even in the art for both part 1 and part 2 of the DLC.
One thing you missed that's totally insignificant about raging bolt, aka the raikou paradox, is that it looks like a tallneck (a giraffe-looking robot from horizon zero dawn)
Glad you made this video so fast, so many people are confused about why Raging Bolt looks the way it does, and I was tired from explaining it's a Giraffe/Quillin and Brontosaurus. Now I can just give people the link when they ask.
Props for getting this video out like hours after the presentation. I like the sporadic energy from this one, a little all over the place but still somehow on topic. Just like my brain.
0:49 Correction: Brontosaurus means "thunder lizard". It's Brontosaurus excelsus which translates to "noble thunder lizard". The "excelsus" part meaning "noble".
Honestly raging bolt is one of the best looking past paradox mon, tho I guess that isn’t saying much considering the competition lol. I really like what they did with the paradox cobalian tho especially the extending energy horns it looks so cool!!! Don’t know if it’s my fav of the future forms yet but that’s a tough race lol
Since dipplin fits the festival theme if it was going to be something cooler it would have been, applin was a worm in an apple and dipplin is two worms in a candy apple, nuff said.
Also something about the duraludon evolution is that the vasco da gama bridge in Portugal is the longest in Europe, the Crimean bridge used to be longer but was destroyed
What's interesting to me is that both Duraladon and Applin have Gigantamax forms (Applin just needs to evolve first, doesn't matter which since G-Max Flapple and Appletun are the same), so what does this mean for their G Max forms should they return? Will Dipplin get a G Max form alongside Flapple and Appletun? Will Archaludon get its own G Mac form or steal Duraladon's, or will it be like what happened with Pikachu, Eevee and Meowth?
There is a Spanish architect, Calatrava, who is famous worldwide and has built bridges all around the globe. Funnily enough, they are infamous for not being stable at all. There is another possible reference in the Guadiana Bridge, connecting Spain and Portugal, which is thematically very neat
It's funny that the title says paradox entei and doesn't mention cobalion keep it please its funny Spoiler Shield 🛡 Warning if you hit read more you will get spoilers Final warning Last Chance Alright here you go Finished the video the Iron Crown disrespect is immense💀
To be fair, a few years ago I made/commissioned a Serpopard Fakemon for Kaskade, and we already did a lot for Farigiraf, so Raging Bolt's research was like 90% done already.
Portugal famously made their own replica of the Golden Gate Bridge (along with a lot of other places famous landmarks like Brazils Jesus statue) before the world fair 1998 opening in 1996. It’s the one of the longest suspension bridges in Europe.
As soon as I heard people talk about Raging Bolt, I knew you'd be into it and the depth of its design. And you are the first person I've even heard mention Iron... whatever Cobalion is, because the future ones are (mostly) SO dull
Maybe if they're hinting towards a Unova remake/presequel, we could see past Galarians colonizing Unova (or its pre-colonized name). Archaludon perhaps serving as inspiration for Unova's famous bridges.
Bit of an oopsie: London Bridge and Tower Bridge are two different bridges. Just replace every time he says "London Bridge" with "Tower Bridge". Also tthe Clifton Suspension Bridge made by Isembard Kingdom Brunel is a pretty famous British suspension bridge.
This guy is a quality output machine. I don’t know any other Pokémon UA-camrs that are able to make this much quality, well-researched content in such a short time
Hey Lockstin! just wanted to point out that here in Portugal we do have the biggest suspension bridge in the world, it's called the "Ponte 516 Arouca", so it might be connected to archaludon! Amazing video as always😁
Didn't see anyone else mention this, so here goes nothing... As you may already know if you read their description, Dipplin is (are?) actually two Applins, sharing the same fruit. Why is that, though? Is there any reason behind it? Well, I believe I know the answer. In Portuguese, candy apples are known as maçãs-do-amor, or love apples in English. So the two wyrms are actually representing a couple, together. That's really cute! Good for them! This is relevant, as the main reason we even have Kitakami as the main area for Scarlet/Violet DLC is due to the significance the Iberian Peninsula, especially Portugal, had on Japanese history! So it isn't so farfetched that it may have another source of inspiration for the design. Also... Cool video, especially for being so close to the reveal of these Pokemon. Really like your idea for a Paradox Entei! ❤ Sorry for all of that, I kinda got hyperfixated on the gay apple wyrms, and had to vent the information out... It's like, 2 AM where I live, and here I am... Instead of sleeping.
I have an idea for a series of videos: Making regional variants for all the regions released before the concept of regional variants was added into the games. I would like to see what ideas you come up with for that!
About bridges: 1) London Bridge and Tower Bridge are two completely different bridges! 2) In Portugal they have the famous suspension bridge, '25 de Abril' Bridge, designed by the same company who did the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco! Cool stuff!
As much sense as a hadrosaur for Entei's roaring makes, something about the faceplate and leg bands makes me think it's also going to be armored like an ankylosaur with a more-exaggerated faceplate and the bands becoming layered and interlocking while having another dino's features as well. Walking Wake is mostly therapod-like in appearance with horns like a triceratops and whip-like tails like a sauropod. Raging Bolt has a sauropod-like appearance with a spiny back and mace tail.
Okay consider this if you will. You know how some people call Duraludon a Mechagodzilla like thing? Well the fact that it Evolves into Archuludon now actually reminds me of something. In 2017-2018 there was an anime trilogy for godzilla that while not very good did introduce us to Mechagodzilla who was revealed to have became an entire 14 kilometer city of nanometal. Now fast forward to 2019 and we get Duraludon's Gigantamax form, a huge skyscraper, then later we get Archuludon, a folding bridge. If Duraludon was intended to be a Kaijumon like Mechagodzilla then I think its possible this particular pokemon is referencing the Mechagodzilla from that specific era hence why its other forms reference city sights(other than the bridge also being a Unova nod). The thing that makes me just love the attention to detail and inspiration behind these newer mon is that they have a specific theme. In Sword and Shield when we see Duraludon it is within a region where pokemon yes will grow enormous with dynamax, but Duraludon had a specific G-max move worth calling out called Max-Depletion. In the Anime trilogy Mechagodzilla was made of a Nanometal material which the machine would have used to try and turn godzilla into a statue of nanometal to kill him...or deplete him of his energy and movement. Then look at Archuludon and its signature move, Electro Shot. The way it folds down is intriguing in two ways. Not only is it a clever way of showing a monster charge its blast attack but it might also mirrors the way that Mechagodzilla would have deployed the "Blade Launcher". By lowering its body and elongating its tail, the machine would launch the shot across its whole length. I know I'm reaching here but i just cannot unsee these things. I mean the inherently actual Godzilla-like pokemon, Baxcalibur, is an Ice/Dragon type which Duraludon and Archuludon counter in terms of type. Steel
Thank you. You are the person who taught me what fakemon is and ever since I've been fascinated with it. I'm actually starting my own region and it's all thanks to you. Stay amazing.
I wasn't sold on Entei as a Hadrosaur until you reminded me of the roar. Hadrosaurs are famous for their trumpet-like nasal cavities to enhance their vocalizations.
Entei go SKREONK like Godzilla now.
Oh that's cool
It’s also part of trio type of dinosaurs
Theropod, Sauropod and Ornithopod
Unless they went wild and make Paradox Entei a Pteranodon, it’s probably going to be a Hadrosaurus
Once he said that it clicked for me.
Its a perfect dinopart for Entei.
Its THE thing it does
@@ardianhesa4340 i think its not gonna be a pteranodon purely because flutter mane is supposed to be one somehow
Fun fact there is also an old theory that the Parasaurolophus was capable of breathing fire. Of course that wasn’t the case in real life, but it could be further evidence for it being the dino for paradox Entei.
Yeah that dude's theories are WILD. But like, he's a creationist archeologist, so I guess that just inevitable.
It would fit in with the "pulp sci-fi/tabloid conspiracy" vibe the Paradoxes have going for them due to their association with the Occulture magazine
Imagine Ducky to be able to breathe fire.
1000% respect to Lockstin for doing this much work in such a short amount of time
Agreed I thought it would be end of the week at least but legit same day
Not that great when you completely fumbled part of the research...
@@njfernandes87 I don’t even you what you’re on about. But if you think you can do it better in 5 hours, by all means!

Yea that’s so cool. I can’t even get motivated to research something I really need in a year but he is like ,, oh great new Pokémon video. So research all about them ,,
Not only did Lockstin shoot and have this video edited in less than a day, but Vergolophus got a whole art commission done as well? Now that's impressive.
What to name the Ancient Entei? Also! It turns out there's a bridge that connects Spain and Portugal that looks just like Archaludon! I missed it! Big thanks to Skyverzul for showing me. Link here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guadiana_International_Bridge
Blazing/Burning Bill, because hadrosaurs are commonly called duck-billed dinosaurs and it breathes fire

Hey Lockstin, a lot of people are saying that the new Duraludon evo is actually a reference to the giant bridges in Unova because the trainer who uses it is called Drayten, similar to the dragon gym leader in Unova called Drayden. People think he might be his grandson
I’m glad someone said this!!
I was about to say this lol
Plus I think that Archaludon references the Black City in Pokémon Black
One major thing is new york which apparently unova is based on is FULL of suspension bridges
Also from what I can tell it looks to me like it’s a cable-stayed bridge
gamefreak is teasing gen 5 remakes
oh God oh no
Actually, taking a look at Archaludon's legs, it appears the legs resemble the Guadiana International Bridge, which is located in Portugal. In fact it's the road that connects Southern Spain and Portugal together.
The X bridge patterns on its front then could resemble the 25 de Abril Bridge, which is ALSO in Portugal. Fun fact: it was made by the same person who made the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
Also idk what it is about Iron Crown, but it.. actually looks pretty cool. Like idk what it is about it but something about Iron Crown just makes it look better than most of the other Future Paradox imo, besides Iron Valiant. My friend says it's possible Iron Crown is a steampunk motif rather than the chromium metal material we usually see from the Future mon, which it could be up. I can't pinpoint why. But when I saw Virizion I just thought it was just Virizion but robot and that was it. But Iron Crown, it looks like Cobalion... but they must've added SOMETHING extra to this to make it cooler than the others. Is it the horns? Is it the extra joint plating? I don't know!
I think it’s the slight abstraction from regular cobalion rather than a translation. But personally I think it could have a bit darker blue and then it would look cool.
I think the big change compared to the other future paradox pokemon is that it feels more expresive like the face has the capacity to emote
Thank you for bringing that up. I was hoping Lockstin would notice and mention that. Of coast DLC or not, SV IS still Iberic in inspiration, and us Portuguese fans where kinda left hoping for more, which Archaludon did satisfy a good bit 😭🙏
That actually makes a lot of sense. The Golden Gate bridge is a very well-known landmark in Japan, owing to the fact that California is a common entry point for the Japanese into the US (I mean, there's Hawaii, but for many, it's just a waypoint and not the final destination), so another bridge made by the same guy in the same area as Spain would be incredibly sensible for inspiration.
I liked Iron Crown from the start because from the short in game clip showcasing it, you can see that its feet kind of melt away into a liquid, kinda like Melmetal, which is fitting for its probably Steel type and also a distinct feature from other future paradoxes mons.
Fun Fact!
Hadrosaurs were once hypothesized to breathe fire, due to the interesting inner structure of the parasaurolophus’ head crest. I wish I could remember more about it. Beyond what you said about the display, Entei being a Hadrosauroid-like Pokémon is pretty likely
I was taught that pseudoscience in Sunday school back when I was a kid. They tried to say that it was the leviathan from the Bible so they made a huge reach and said that parasaurolophus breathes fire. It's a popular (but incorrect) idea in the Christian circles I was in. Maybe other religions that have the leviathan myth too but idk for sure. I probably still have an old religious book that promoted this myth and other discredited ideas about dinosaurs. I'm not religious anymore and needless to say, it's a little embarrassing to look back at the weird things I believed about dinosaurs and stuff. 😂 I believed parasaurolophus could breathe fire even when I was definitely old enough to know better lol.
"Were once hypothesised" is an interesting way to say "one guy said that with little evidence"
@@zoroearc2582 Just like the person that built the rhino-horned Iguanodon statue based on a few teeth and what we now know as a thumb spike.
@@zoroearc2582 I mean.. what was I gonna say? “Theorized”?? 💀
also i THINK its theorized that they used their crests as a form of temperature regulating, like giving off heat maybe?
One interesting thing about Archaludon is how it makes the entire evolution line be based off of Kaiju and the things they commonly destroy, buildings and bridges. And this time the bridges are also doing Godzillas breath attack via electricity and the electric back plates, even its new move works like Solar beam but for rain and is electric type it’s literally absorbing lighting to power up
Slight correction - London Bridge is a totally different bridge to Tower Bridge, and is just a basic bridge rather than the elaborately designed Tower Bridge. It's also the second version of it as the original was sold and moved piece by piece to the US.
I had to look that up because I didn't believe you, who decided it was a good idea to disassemble and move an ENTIRE BRIDGE.
Technically it's the third version. Technically. As when the Saxons were warring in Britain there was a wooden bridge that spanned the Thames - if I'm remembering correctly I think London was still being called Londinium.
The head in the Clouds design for raging bolts is sooo cool and clever. Loving the past Paradox legendary beast so far.
Honestly it reminds me of the Tallnecks from Horizon: Zero Dawn!!
@@Sandrilenefatorenyoooo goated game
I don't know if it was intentional but I love how your design for paradox entei being a hadrosaur references an old, fringe theory which suggested that parasaurolophus could breathe fire. It was completely nonsensical even for the time and has become a meme in the paleo community in recent years
That.
Is.
Fun.
I mean it even makes sense. Paradox mons are imaginations, so what else than a Hadrosaur being able to breathe fire making it into reality

@@kyo77712377stay mad
One other thing about Dripplin; I think it's design is partially inspired by its evolutions Gigantamax forms. Flapple and Appletun sharing one was already a neat gimmick, but because of that it was both an in-between of the two while also heavily resembling Applin. Plus it having the gooey ring around it, and the way its head pops out the top when it attacks also call back to this form. Flapple and Appletun had the most unique of all the Gigantamaxes, so it makes sense they'd want it to live on in some other way.
I really love raging bolt and all the paradox past Pokémon they are very well designed and have great inspiration behind them

The Duraludon evolution not only resembles a bridge but it also generates electricity in bridge mode which makes me think of railguns!
To answer your question, Portugal has a famous suspension bridge that is one of the symbols of its capital city Lisbon. The "25 de Abril" Bridge is very similar to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
5:38 The DLC takes place abroad from Paldea. Not to mention it's clearly a hint toward the Gen 5 remakes. They said one of the trainers would be related to one we know. Drayton's name is similar to Drayden's, his hair is the same shade of white (albeit with a blue highlight because he's part of the Blueberry Elite 4) if he matted down the hair spikes, it would closer to Drayden's hair, his ace pokemon is dragon-type and said ace pokemon resembles Unova's Skyarrow Bridge, (which is based on the Brooklyn Bridge). Unova confirmed, it all comes together.
how has not even lockstin noticed...
applin was one wyrm, but when it evolves into Dipplin, now there are supposedly two wyrms inside (or just 2 beings), sorta a reference to worms becoming 2 different beings when split in half in some media (idk if it happens in real life).
It happens with flatworms, so probably not the typical worm you find in apples (though flatworms are really small, maybe they could show up in an apple? I don't know.
In any case, there are definitely mythological dragons that have been known to do that, most famously, the hydra.
Some species of worms do that yes
He actually mentioned it towards the end of the video
@@walaceandrade4046 he mentions that there r 2 wyrms, but doesnt talk about the concept of a worm becoming 2 separate beings when split in half.
I actually think Iron Crown (Mecha-Cobalion) isn't too bad a design as far as the future paradox pokemon go; it has an art-deco 'Metropolis' feel to it that elevates it over the others.
Maybe the theme its architecture: space age, artdeco and probably brutalism for terrakion
I was thinking it might be based on cars. It has the little speed wings and with what was described with iron leaves, this trio might be more based on certain car traits.
Turns out I was right. Their names even came from cars that would of launched in the future in relations to the games coming out. The Toyota CROWN and the Nissan LEAF. Way too coincidental now!
Applin's Evos never lived up to the "worminess" I loved from OG Applin, but now with Dipplin we have all of Applin's charm AND some usable Stats! There's even a built-in friend on the back, like those Halloween horse costumes!!!!!
This Gen is great for worm enjoyers!
I have always liked the whole applin line(flapple is my favorite pokemon), but Dipplin is probably in my top ten
How do u know Dipplins stats?
@@agentdon1760hitmontop doesn’t feel like on yet it is
@@Gorgosauruslibra Hitmontop differs enough from Tyroage to make it an evolution. Dipplin is just a slimy applin with a long thing on its head
And palafin is just a finizen with a heart pattern on the chest. Base appearances aren't everything.
I like the idea of a Paradox Entei being a hadrosaur, but I could also see it being based on one of the "armored dinosaurs" (triceratops/stegosaurus/ankylosaurus)
I’m so excited for the new duraludon and applin evolution! They’re so cool and cute!
Join the fellowship of the almighty Dipplin
I’m thinking Dipplin may evolve again since it seems kinda tiny but still super cute! I’d love to get a life sized appletun one day!

Vergolophus did such a great job with the Paradox Entei design.

Skyarrow Bridge looks a bit more like them

Shoutout to lockstin. You always seem to get me to appreciate pokemon designs more!
Well that was quick lol. Also, love how Duraludon is getting an evolution in Archaludon. Always thought that it should evolve back in SWSH. Glad that it has come true in SV.
I'm happy they kept the object basis prominent and wore it as a badge of honor. A staple remover/London bridge hybrid is wonderful, it's so goofy yet intimidating!
I'm no fan of it, but I'm glad the people that are fans of it are happy. Though now I feel like it should have a pre-evo.
I like it to its cool af.......but it is a fact that it DID NOT DESERVE A EVOLUTION, if it got it in gen 8 then that would be fine, but in gen 9, u could evolve pokemon like skarmory or tropuis which people been wanting for ever (Others too but those are the most popolar).......and I think what makes it worse.....is DURALUDON WAS ALREADY A GOOD POKEMON....IT DIDNT NEED THIS......... like this isn't hating the pokemon, ITS COOL and I can't wait to use it...... but THEY SHOULD OF they could of differnt mon (all this applies to dipplin as well) if they wanted this, put it next gen or one after.......NOT THE ONE RIGHT AFTER
I remember when the pokedex said that Duraladon was a rival to Tyranitar and honestly, I could never see it being on the same level. This evo definitely helps it in that regard.
@@Accountthatexists One, your grammar sucks and it deems your comment unreadable. I know this isn't hate and all... But still.
And two... Gallade and Dusknoir exist and I don't remember people complaining about it...
Dusknoir... It's... It's cool, I guess. It's Dusclop's Evo from Gen 4. And Dusclops was from Gen 3. Just One Generation Apart... Wow. And also, Duraludon isn't that good... It has an Amazing Typing, sure... But it's not even good enough to be in UU... It's in Never Used! Which sucks since I love Duraludon's Design so much... And what happened after Dusknoir got released? Well, after, after that since Eviolite... When The Eviolite was introduced, Dusknoir just faded into Oblivion due to Dusclop being more reliable in Doubles/VGC since, when given The Eviolite, it's Tankier! So I think this'll happen to Duraludon/Archaludon too! Since I know a set for Duraludon where its Typing/Defences are put to more use.
For Dipplin, Gallade is a match since... It's a Split Evo from Gen 4 and Kirlia/Ralts are from Gen 3... Did people rant about it like you? No. And Gardevoir isn't even bad at all... I've had one in almost every Hoenn Playthrough since Psychic is still Pretty Amazing. Sure, you can say Gen 4 was all about New Evo to "Older Pokémon" and all... But come on, if you say that Dipplin doesn't deserve to exist (This can be seen as you said "All this applies to Dipplin as well"), then Gallade also doesn't deserve to exist...
I love the horn on your speculative Paradox Entei idea. In part as it aligns with something I noticed after Raging Bolt. That the trio might have stuff referencing the Qilin/Kirin. W.W. has the feet (walking on water aspect more so), R.B. has the neck, so Paradox Entei having the horn would fit in nicely.
My prediction: Paradox Entei either will have its big silver spikes turn into wings and resemble a pterodactyl OR It’s yellow crest on its head will turn into 3 horns and resemble a Triceratops.
I think the entei paradox form should be named "Sizzling Solstice"
Ngl, Raikou is probably my favorite Pokémon as of lately, since sauropods just piqued my imagination with their almost unnatural size, I mean come on! Imagine a damn lizard the size of a 10 story building walking past you and shaking the earth! That’s awesome
Also they could make Entei either a ceratopsian and focus on the metal on its face or even a stegosaur and expand upon the spikes on its back
@@andrewmolek5247 Yeah, either one of those or a hadrosaur fit Entei pretty well. Going to be interesting once Indigo Disk's release date gets closer and we get to see what it looks like
As I mentioned before, you make Pokemon that seem random to me, make sense. I hope you're right about a Paradox Entei. And now I can't see Iron Crown without thinking of Metal Sonic. XD The new Pokemon are cool too.
Totally forgot there was a Presents earlier today. Nice little surprise right before bed-time. Thanks for the quick turn-around to break it down, Lockstin!
Cobalion is already my favorite Fighting type and one of my favorite legends. This new Paradox Cobalion is just so freaking COOL to me! Can't wait for your vid on the trio down the line
I'm still wondering what its other typing will be. Very likely to be part Steel as that was Cobalion's, and if Iron Leave's move is any hint then Iron Crown's will also get a boost in Electric Terrain
Thank you for including the little bit of speculation on paradox Entei, it really was a fun little section based on what you found about the Japanese dinosaur exhibit, and I cant wait to see how similar paradox entei ends up being, as I think you figured it out!
For the point at 5:40 there actually is a fairly famous suspension bridge in Lisbon called the 25 de Abril Bridge (meaning 25th of April Bridge). The reason it is famous is because it connects to the province of Almada which contains the Christ the King statue.
TBF Paldea seems to be the region of "hey we haven't made a Pokemon of that yet lets do it". Some of the executions on this are a bit simplistic (Flamigo) and some are out there (Palafin), but I feel like an electric-type sauropod was one of those 'obvious' things that wasn't made into a mon yet, until now at least. The dinosaur beasts I'm digging actually, I thought Entei would be a triceratops or similar species personally, though the hadrosaur seems more likely now that you mention it.
3:21 wow you actually pronounced that right the 1st time, good job Lockstin. I will say being a hadrosaur would be a bit of a 180, interesting, since hadrosaurs are usually associated with water while Entei is fire type.
worth noting that there was a brief assumption that parasaurolophus’s crest was used to house a fire-breathing organ. there’s a few older illustrations online
Insterestingly, there was an old speculative dinossaur book that came up with the ridiculous idea that the parasaurolophus breathes fire by combining chemicals stored on their horns, kinda bombardier beetle style. So there is a tangential link between the fire type Entei and Parasaurolophus
The aratasaurus is a possible dinosaur that could fit as an inspiration for a paradox entei. I mean, the meaning of the name is quite literally "lizard born of fire".
Also, I think that Archaludon's bridge inspired design would be a reference to the "Guardiana international bridge". Which is a huge suspension bridge that connects Spain with Portugal.
i love how much effort you put into getting this out so quickly, but one small thing is tower bridge and london bridge are actually entirely different bridges lol
To think, if Lockstin made a Fakemon that looked like Archaludon, we would've made fun of him
True of just about every Fakemon artist/designer. 🙃
My favorite Fakemon are ALWAYS the weird ones, and whenever GF manages to out-weird them like with Archaludon here, we get wonderful results. It's an arms race of weirdness!
Objectmon enjoyers stay winning!
Lockstin, thank you so much. I was about to make my own video with opinions of SOME of the information released during the presents and you already covered most of them. I'm especiialy glad because of two things you mentioned: In its “unstretched” form, Archaludon really looks like stapler or staple remover, and the second one, you “calmed” the rage that started bubbling in my head, after seeing so many Poké fans and even PokéTubers, that mentioned, we practically could expect a Unova based game as soon as next year.
For those people, I'd like to mention this: Just because someone's name is similar to another character (Drayton → Drayden) and just because that character uses a monster similar to some element known for concrete generation (bridge = Unova), it doesn't automatically mean, we will be getting Unova based game. The ONLY thing, that IS confirmed, we WILL be getting the third member of paradox trio for both Entei and Terrakion (but: what about Keldeo?)
Anyway, great video, I have less work to do. 🙂
i genuinely started tearing up when archaludon was announced, my boy gets a evolution!!
I'm betting Entei's gonna be either a Triceratops or a Stegosaurus, mostly due to the amount of spikes on his face mask and back. Leaning towards Stegosaurus since the back plates are heat-sinks... I think.
We seen the drawing of the Entei that looks like it was fused with Suicune and that is what enteis paradox form will be.
@akiraasmr3002 pretty sure that was meant to be Paradox Suicune.
@@insertclevernamehere1186 No paradox suicine is walking wake dude and the area zero pokemon does not look like walking wake. it looks like Entei's paradox form. Im calling it and if its right I will come back here.
@@insertclevernamehere1186 Also if you pay attention in the anime Entei is one of the pokemon that they will meet and most likely it will be that same form that the sketch of that area zero pokemon will be.
@akiraasmr3002 so what, you think that the drawing in the violet book is Terrakion? The whole point is that they are meant to be imagined pokemon, they aren't gonna be one for one like in the book, same as Great Tusk and Iron Treads.
Besides, just because the ancient adventurer had an Entei, it's no guarantee that it'll be a paradox pokemon, especially since Terapagos isn't even in Paldea in the Anime...
I mean, Archaludon is used by who seems to be Drayden's relative, so a Unova connection is likely
Entei ended up being that of a species of Styracosaurus, having a wide shield on its head ending with multiple sharp horns adorned on its head
“Unova Confirmed?
He didn’t know how right he was.
Love these videos explaining the new paradox pokemon! Speaking of futuristic Coballion (and Virizion), do you think you'd be interested in making a video about the Swords of Justice trio/quartet in the future? They're based on the three musketeers, which I think is a pretty interesting idea for a pokemon group to be themed after.
Again, loving the videos. Keep up the amazing job ❤
It makes sense that Blueberry Academy is off the coast of Kitakami because both Karmen and Kieren go to Blueberry Academy. They are even in the art for both part 1 and part 2 of the DLC.
That would seem odd, since we're explicitly told at the start of Teal Mask that Blueberry Academy is in Unova, but with Pokeworld geography who knows.
@@gravajaumbros I found that fact out after I commented that.
One thing you missed that's totally insignificant about raging bolt, aka the raikou paradox, is that it looks like a tallneck (a giraffe-looking robot from horizon zero dawn)
are we going to need to climb him as well?
🙃
I don't care what everyone says, I love Raging Bolt and its mane cause to me, it's a cool aesthetic.
Also, I'm glad that Raikou is finally getting attention. I feel like he's become the Jan Brady of the Johto Trio
Paradox Entei has turned out to be based on ceratopsian dinosaurs. Looks most like a Styracosaurus to me.
Glad you made this video so fast, so many people are confused about why Raging Bolt looks the way it does, and I was tired from explaining it's a Giraffe/Quillin and Brontosaurus. Now I can just give people the link when they ask.
Dipplin! A candy apple I actually love.

Props for getting this video out like hours after the presentation. I like the sporadic energy from this one, a little all over the place but still somehow on topic. Just like my brain.
My favorite new Pokémon is the new applin evolution. I’m currently shiny hunting one so I can evolve it in the dlc.
Join the fellowship of the almighty Dipplin
0:49 Correction: Brontosaurus means "thunder lizard". It's Brontosaurus excelsus which translates to "noble thunder lizard". The "excelsus" part meaning "noble".
Honestly raging bolt is one of the best looking past paradox mon, tho I guess that isn’t saying much considering the competition lol. I really like what they did with the paradox cobalian tho especially the extending energy horns it looks so cool!!! Don’t know if it’s my fav of the future forms yet but that’s a tough race lol
Dipplin and Archaludon was a suprise also Evolite Duraludon is Mostlikly Busted
Do you think dipplin will evolve again? It seems like it could
Since dipplin fits the festival theme if it was going to be something cooler it would have been, applin was a worm in an apple and dipplin is two worms in a candy apple, nuff said.
Also something about the duraludon evolution is that the vasco da gama bridge in Portugal is the longest in Europe, the Crimean bridge used to be longer but was destroyed
What's interesting to me is that both Duraladon and Applin have Gigantamax forms (Applin just needs to evolve first, doesn't matter which since G-Max Flapple and Appletun are the same), so what does this mean for their G Max forms should they return? Will Dipplin get a G Max form alongside Flapple and Appletun? Will Archaludon get its own G Mac form or steal Duraladon's, or will it be like what happened with Pikachu, Eevee and Meowth?
There is a Spanish architect, Calatrava, who is famous worldwide and has built bridges all around the globe. Funnily enough, they are infamous for not being stable at all.
There is another possible reference in the Guadiana Bridge, connecting Spain and Portugal, which is thematically very neat

WHAT THE HELL THE TRAILER JUST CAME OUT HOW DID YOUNDO ALL THIS GOD DAMM RESEARCH
To be fair, a few years ago I made/commissioned a Serpopard Fakemon for Kaskade, and we already did a lot for Farigiraf, so Raging Bolt's research was like 90% done already.
@@Gnoggin still absolute insanity that this was day 1 with fully researched stuff round of applause 👏
Portugal famously made their own replica of the Golden Gate Bridge (along with a lot of other places famous landmarks like Brazils Jesus statue) before the world fair 1998 opening in 1996. It’s the one of the longest suspension bridges in Europe.
As soon as I heard people talk about Raging Bolt, I knew you'd be into it and the depth of its design. And you are the first person I've even heard mention Iron... whatever Cobalion is, because the future ones are (mostly) SO dull
pretty sure colbaltions paradox name is iron crown
I love how half of this video is your usual pokemon deepdive and the other half is lockstin fangirling over he's oc
Maybe if they're hinting towards a Unova remake/presequel, we could see past Galarians colonizing Unova (or its pre-colonized name). Archaludon perhaps serving as inspiration for Unova's famous bridges.
Bit of an oopsie: London Bridge and Tower Bridge are two different bridges. Just replace every time he says "London Bridge" with "Tower Bridge". Also tthe Clifton Suspension Bridge made by Isembard Kingdom Brunel is a pretty famous British suspension bridge.
For once, Lockstin is actually on time to the discussion😂
His work is so on point. It takes time.
just so you know, London Bridge isn't known as Tower Bridge. London Bridge is a bridge upriver to Tower Bridge, but they are two separate bridges
Your barely contained spite for the Violet robots is never not funny.
The future paradox Pokémon don't get the love they deserve. I think Roboballion is cool.
Was looking forward to this video as watching the Pokémon presents just didn’t think I’d be watching it so soon. You are legendary!

This guy is a quality output machine. I don’t know any other Pokémon UA-camrs that are able to make this much quality, well-researched content in such a short time
Hey Lockstin! just wanted to point out that here in Portugal we do have the biggest suspension bridge in the world, it's called the "Ponte 516 Arouca", so it might be connected to archaludon!
Amazing video as always😁
Good to know I’m not the only one excited for Raging Bolt
Didn't see anyone else mention this, so here goes nothing... As you may already know if you read their description, Dipplin is (are?) actually two Applins, sharing the same fruit. Why is that, though? Is there any reason behind it?
Well, I believe I know the answer. In Portuguese, candy apples are known as maçãs-do-amor, or love apples in English. So the two wyrms are actually representing a couple, together. That's really cute! Good for them!
This is relevant, as the main reason we even have Kitakami as the main area for Scarlet/Violet DLC is due to the significance the Iberian Peninsula, especially Portugal, had on Japanese history! So it isn't so farfetched that it may have another source of inspiration for the design.
Also... Cool video, especially for being so close to the reveal of these Pokemon. Really like your idea for a Paradox Entei! ❤ Sorry for all of that, I kinda got hyperfixated on the gay apple wyrms, and had to vent the information out... It's like, 2 AM where I live, and here I am... Instead of sleeping.
I have an idea for a series of videos: Making regional variants for all the regions released before the concept of regional variants was added into the games. I would like to see what ideas you come up with for that!
About bridges:
1) London Bridge and Tower Bridge are two completely different bridges!
2) In Portugal they have the famous suspension bridge, '25 de Abril' Bridge, designed by the same company who did the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco! Cool stuff!
2:36 Why are you showing me pictures of jelly-filled donuts? Brock told me how good they are.
Welp, I guess you can say your hadrosaur theory went…
up in *flames.*
a Pokemon Presents AND a Lockstin video on my birthday? truly a joyous day
Applin is becoming a tyrougue in the sense of having 3 evolutions. Tyrougue could evolve into Hitmonlee, Hitmochan and Hitmontop
As much sense as a hadrosaur for Entei's roaring makes, something about the faceplate and leg bands makes me think it's also going to be armored like an ankylosaur with a more-exaggerated faceplate and the bands becoming layered and interlocking while having another dino's features as well. Walking Wake is mostly therapod-like in appearance with horns like a triceratops and whip-like tails like a sauropod. Raging Bolt has a sauropod-like appearance with a spiny back and mace tail.
Okay consider this if you will. You know how some people call Duraludon a Mechagodzilla like thing? Well the fact that it Evolves into Archuludon now actually reminds me of something. In 2017-2018 there was an anime trilogy for godzilla that while not very good did introduce us to Mechagodzilla who was revealed to have became an entire 14 kilometer city of nanometal. Now fast forward to 2019 and we get Duraludon's Gigantamax form, a huge skyscraper, then later we get Archuludon, a folding bridge. If Duraludon was intended to be a Kaijumon like Mechagodzilla then I think its possible this particular pokemon is referencing the Mechagodzilla from that specific era hence why its other forms reference city sights(other than the bridge also being a Unova nod).
The thing that makes me just love the attention to detail and inspiration behind these newer mon is that they have a specific theme. In Sword and Shield when we see Duraludon it is within a region where pokemon yes will grow enormous with dynamax, but Duraludon had a specific G-max move worth calling out called Max-Depletion. In the Anime trilogy Mechagodzilla was made of a Nanometal material which the machine would have used to try and turn godzilla into a statue of nanometal to kill him...or deplete him of his energy and movement. Then look at Archuludon and its signature move, Electro Shot. The way it folds down is intriguing in two ways. Not only is it a clever way of showing a monster charge its blast attack but it might also mirrors the way that Mechagodzilla would have deployed the "Blade Launcher". By lowering its body and elongating its tail, the machine would launch the shot across its whole length. I know I'm reaching here but i just cannot unsee these things. I mean the inherently actual Godzilla-like pokemon, Baxcalibur, is an Ice/Dragon type which Duraludon and Archuludon counter in terms of type. Steel
I’ve been watching this man for years and he continues to be top tier .
