Archaludon is such a ridiculous yet cool design in my opinion. Being able to turn into a bridge and fire projectiles like a rail gun. I’ll definitely have to evolve a shiny one and use it during my playthrough of the DLC.

I honestly never thought applin would get a three stage evo path
And one that BASICALLY renders Appletun obsolete. We truly live in the worst timeline. Assault Vest with HP and SpDef SpAtk investment depending on what you want to accomplish and you have a Trick Room Special Sweeper that hits Indeedee and Armarouge for Neutral and takes Neutral Damage from both unless they double up on it. Poor Appletun better get a Third Stage. Cause this is a Travesty. 😢 Oh and I guess Flapple exists or whatever, who cares, People Love Appletun more.
I’m so happy it did too. I fell in love with Applin the moment I saw it but didn’t particularly like Appletun and didn’t like Flapple as much as I wanted to. Love its new evolutions much more
@@FrinniferFran I'm afraid Appletun and Flapple will have to make do with their shared Gmax form lol.
@@bramderacourt9499 you mean their LOST Gmax form
@@FrinniferFran As a staunch OG Flapple enthusiast, I disagree with your final statement /lh Still ended up loving Dipplin more, it’s shiny is just so good.
The metal alloy is located at the top of a large underground cavern in the canyon biome along its border with the polar biome. It’s near the wild Tera Porygon.
I randomly found it yesterday and I knew what it meant cos I heard it could evolve duraludon before I found it 😂
goated.
Good to know, Archaludon is like the only thing I want from the DLC. Can't wait to use it along with Hisuian Goodra in my mono-steel run
@@munchrai6396 wait… Hisuian goodra is in the game too?!! I’ve only seen hisuian quillfish.
@@AlfieLarner18 Nah, I just borrowed my friend's home to transfer up my shiny Sligoo. Really nice looking shiny too
Got me a Shiny Hydrapple named Caramel, let’s just say… She obliterates everything with extreme prejudice
I named mine Caramel too!
Why is it extremely prejudiced?
me too!! haha the name just fits so good@@abvhrulz
Not sure if its already been mentioned here, but just like with Dipplin, Hydraple's signature move changes color depending on if its shiny or not.
I didnt think hydrapple would be real
me too i thought everyone was delulu
Same.
Riddler himself had mentioned it
@@cvlcek144 Riddler XD
Riddler is fake af
Damn. Archaludon becoming a pseudo is kinda cool. Just gotta give it a pre-evolution now and it fits in with the rest. Not gonna lie, was actually thinking Hydrapple would become a pseudo instead, but this makes more sense.
Kinda I think pseudo is 600 Base stat right
Pseudo is a bst 600 3stage line
@@shadowoodgaming8473 technically the only requirement is 600 bst, it just so happens that this is the first time a 600 bst pokemon hasnt had a three stage evolution
@@dustypaladin9216 so the 1st time a 2 stage in a way pseudo
@@dustypaladin9216 nah they also need to be 3 stage mons
i happened to use sword/shield to shiny hunt applin after beating teal mask. because i heard rumors about dipplin getting another evolution and ended up with a max iv shiny this helps like crazy you rock.
Archaludon's stats are a nice boost but I bet the new abilities alone will make it wayyyy better than Dura. Interesting that Hydrapple's physical stats are unchanged and the entire +55 bst goes into hp and specials with just a tiny bit in speed (though maybe not a huge fan of the fact it now has better bst than the other two options)
It has higher stats than Appletun and Flapple because it went through being Dipplin first, plus, there's more of them inside the apple.
Well I’d argue it’s not a direct upgrade because eviolite
That goes for every pokemon that evolves@@justicemcintosh3294
Metal alloy is also a reward for filling in a certain amount of the pokedex. I don't remember the exact number but it's one of the last rewards so you need to fill most of the blueberry pokedex
You can also find one in the Chargestone Caverns next to one of the big crystals.
This is the only info i will be watching for indigo disk before i play all of it myself. Thanks Austin!
Archaludon really grew on me. Amazing design and concept
Love the Hydrapple and Archaludon evos, thanks for this video, I was really curious how to evolve both of them, and this is very helpful
I absolutely love hydrapple! He might be a new addition to my top 5 favs. Thank you for the guide AJP
Thanks so much Austin i've been wanting to do this since Nintendo announced them😊
Hey, Austin! You can find a Metal Alloy in the Chargestone Caverns. You’ll want to climb to the top where you will see a Terastilized Porygon. When you see it, depending on the direction you are, you’ll want to turn left or right and go toward a giant crystal in that top level that’s kinda against the cavern wall. It should be in a Pokeball. I found mine today and I already have a Archaludon. I hope that helps!
my brodda thank you for this VERY helpful information.
Also imma catch some porygon
Austin. We love you man. Thanks for the video once again. Happy holidays
metal alloy is located within chargestone cavern, in the main area of the cavern (with the rest stop), simply climb up to the top level where the pillars area and the metal alloy is between the polar and the canyon biomes on the map
I love both these shiny dudes!
2 new dragons. I’m here for it. Thanks for the intel on the evolutions!
I don't know if this was added during the teal mask or this was added with the indigo disk but in the academy ace tournament all the levels are raised now instead of being in the 60's they are now in the level 80 range, and have changed movesets, like salvatore honchrow now knowing dual wingbeat Edit: To everyone who wanted Geeta to have a better team, you got it.
It will have been updated for the indigo disk bcs you can invite and battle most trainers in the BB league club and they all have updated teams (eg. Grusha has an alolan Ninetales)
Spoiler alert! So when you unlock the fly ability if you fly all the way to the top of the Terarium area. On top of that Disco ball the game shows you early on. You can find 50 stellar type chards, an ability patch and a gold bottle cap. Might take a while flying up there
As soon as I unlocked it I went up there (I was curious), not expecting anything but when I found a gold bottle cap I was certainly surprised😂
Same! I was utterly shocked that those were up there
You can find the alloy inside charge cave. It's kinda rare, but you don't need to spend bp on it
Thank You Austin John plays you are very talented and always a big help keep It up
By the way there is a new shiny hunting method that I found, so basically you do 2 experiments with that scientist that lets you control your pokemon so you get a portable device so you can so it anywhere. So after you get it you use an encounter power sandwich and sparkling power, or just encounter power, you get in a good spot where a lot of pokemon spawn that you would want to hunt, and you control your pokemon and start to knock em out. This is a great method because they continue to spawn and if they run into your character it does not start a battle
For those wondering, there's a static Alloy above the rest stop in Chargestone Cave. Its up near the Tera Porygon
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for this I would had no idea on how to evolve the two
AJP, you're always 1st out with the info!
I'm gonna comeback to this video later but I just wanted to say thankyou for not putting any spoilers in the thumbnail, I've been spoiled on a couple things because people just slapped the spoilers into the thumbnail for views.
I like the japanese name for Hydrapple better, Kamitsuorochi which means nectar/honey orochi making a referance to Yamata no orochi, the 8 headed serpent/dragon, this DLC gave us so many cool dragons.
I’m only missing my shiny starter and (once I HOME updates again) Alcreamie, but seeing what Dipplin is about to become is gonna be cool.
Appreciate the speed of these
The fact that Duraludon is the first non traditional psuedo is wild
Duraludon does not fill the criteria of being a three stage evolution sadly
@@Firescizor I mean psuedo legendary is a fan made turn so i think its in the eye of the fan 🤷🏾♂️
@@OfcItsLonnie it's a fan term but it's definitely not in the eye of the fan what can and cannot be a pseudo. The Pokémon we consider "Pseudo-legendary" (or in Japan, the 600 Club) are a set of Pokémon that follow a consistent set of rules across them all (600 BST, three stage evolution, slow level curve I think). There's always been at least one per generation, since the beginning of the franchise, and GF doesn't seem to be slouching back on this archetype. If you want to call other things "Pseudos", go ahead you're free to do it, just understand that it's probably the Pokémon equivalent of calling a whale a fish
@@Firescizor Guess We'll have to settle on calling Archaludon a "Pseudo-Pseudo-Legenday".
@@Pill0w686 pseudo-pseudo-legendaries: "Pokémon that have some of the characteristics that compose the Pseudo-Legendaries, but not all, so that they can still call them that in their head cannons"
The free metal alloy you mentioned can be found in the chargestone caves. Specifically around the highest levels of it
Hydrapple is instantly in top 10 favorite pokemon I am absolutely in love with it I had a xxxl dipplin I evolved
I like Archaludon's design WAY more than its predecessor, that one felt like a boring plain building whereas this one has a bunch of construction inspirations while also looking more dramatic and distinct, like a true pseudo-legend
I was waiting for this
At first, I didnt know what to think about hydrapple until i saw this video of hydrapple showing its other heads and im now like, " ok, i definitely need to get hydrapple now " lol
Archaludon is such a beast. It‘s kind of my fav of the DLC
I love my archaludon, just finished hunting him! And he’s beautiful 😭
Don’t even have the dlc, just enjoy watching Austin upload 😅
I think Hydrapple is one of my favorite Pokemon now. I absolutely love this thing.
TYI: without spoilers, if you have finished the main DLC story there is a secret room to open in the final area you visited
How do you get the crystal to go away so you can enter? After I beat terapagos and the credits finished, I went back to area zero and the crystal was still covering the path to those items
You need to find a secret path that leads to a tera Garchomp to defeat, then it opens the crystal
@@ryanmuffitt3490 thank you
Happy to help
If I'm not mistaken the Metal Alloy item can be found rarely on the ground in the same areas as duraludon spawns if not the whole biome. I've gotten one so far. Can't remember if it was one of those shiny ground items or a pokeball ground item.
Literally Just evolved both of mine a couple mins ago but watching it anyways😂
Hahaha, same here
By the way, theres an extra metal alloy in chargestone cavern
Thanks for teaching me how to get cool pokemon
Archaludon is what Duraludon deserved all along! Love my shiny. Just enjoying the DLC at a reasonable pace. Ideally waiting for HOME to update. PSA metal alloy can be found in Charge Stone Cave. ❤
Hay Austin John, can you do a guide going over some good team combinations for this DLC? It's harder then expected for me lol
If you get stuck on the dragon elite four battle against Draytons trainers, what I did is just caught myself some wild dewgongs that were level 71 and just spammed ice beam and aqua tail
“That’s not what a hydra is.” -Austin 😂😂😂
I must say that your KZhead intro is very epic and Dramatic. Very well executed @AustinJohnPlays!
I honestly didn’t think they’d make me like the Golden Gate Bridge Pokémon, but the way it roars and it’s form when it stands up is pretty cool. Hydrapple is clearly the better of the two in terms of asthetic and I really regret not farming a shiny applin
I love the Applin line, but Hydrapple is going to take getting used to, for me anyway. I'll have to get another shiny Applin to complete the shiny line.
I cried to the ending is so beautiful 😫
Did you know, if you fly up to the tera crystal ball on top of it, there is a golden bottle cap as well as some other useful items
I spent like 7 hours just running around, about 5 before going to the 1st "class" in the coastal zone, and have 192 in the pokedex. only missing a few but waiting for Pokemon Home to move starters as I have all the ones I'm missing, need the other version fossil, Hitmonlee but could possibly evolve one, the trade evolutions, and the Legendairy/Mythical pokemon. and the building becomes a bridge (or staple remover) you get an alloy as a pokedex reward I forget what amount
woooo bring on the austin countent!
Managed to get the Metal Alloy for Archaludon using the Item Printer. Not sure how that thing works at all, but I think I used either 3-4 Ditto Goo or Happiny Dust and got one first try. Again, no idea how the Item Printer even works, but I only used it twice and one of the results was that, so take that as you will.
Hydrapple looks insane!
thx AJP
Hey Austin, are you going to be doing the trade codes for trade evos/version exclusives like you did for the base game and teal mask?
Just evolved my boy Candy into Hydrapple. Had no idea what the evo would look like, but after the initial surprise wore off... I absolutely love this thing. Like, I REALLY love this thing. He's definitely staying on my team. Welcome aboard, Candy, my boi!
Same. Probably my favorite mon of this generation, and might become one of my all time favorites.. the shiny is soo clean.
does the tm get used up when you evolve it or can it be used to evolve more applins?
@hydrationrequirement9762 it gets used but once you get the TM you learn the recipe to make more
@@DuxBellorum13 thanks
Love the Hydrapple!!!
Thx, just evolved my shiny one
i'm so happy dipplin got its own evotution after all, i can't wait to evolve my sweet honey apple :) ❤
Hey Austin, I noticed some comments in another video and was hoping you’d test it. Specifically with the version exclusive paradoxes. Basically, are you able to get the mons to spawn as static encounters, Union circle up with a friend, then have the friend battle and catch it. Then you reset to respawn it. Would this work?
the fumbled on applin and not having all his heads stay out at the same time.
Yay finally the Staple remover and the Bridge are obtainable 😁
Yo, something I found out is that the Metal Alloy has a decent drop rate on the Item Printer. Save yourself some BP and you'll get it via the Item Printer pretty quickly
I really want and need the 2 part DLC for my copies of both Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet along with the non-dlc versions of both Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield for my Nintendo Switch Lite and a copy of Pokemon SoulSilver for my Nintendo DS systems so I can finally complete my Pokemon video game collection once and for all.
I actually never thought that Applin would get a third stage.
Archalidon is a Psuedo Legendary?!?! Wow thats amzing
You also get metal alloy by getting certain volume in pokedex
Hello Austin just wanted to let you know that if you climb all over the biome´s core you will get a small surprise Keep up the good work bud
if you make a video about the elite 4 please include Crispin's "I'm a bit surprised you didnt put bread on top, though. Is that a Paldean thing...?" after not putting the top bread on the sandwich from his trial 🙏🙏
Duraludon, the building Pokemon, evolves into archaludon the bridge Pokemon... Makes sense
Fun fact, after you catch terapagos, if you make it the first pokemon in your party and take it to the crystal pool, the REAL professor Turo or Sada (depends on your version) you can trade the hidden treasure of area zero book for THEIR copy of the violet or scarlet book(again depends on your version) and after this the screen goes white and it puts you in your dorm room in mesagoza and the loading screen when you boot up the game changes with the violet or scarlet book on your desk.
You don’t need Terapagos in your party to trigger the cutscene.
It adds like a little part to it though. Terapagos jumps out of its ball and looks at the crystals
The one random metal alloy you got was from getting 190 entries in the Blueberry Pokédex.
I hope flapple and appletun get an evo now to get a higher bst, especially appletun its the only one of those evos i use cus of thick fat
BST 600 isn't the only requirement to be a pseudo legendary, also has to be 3 stage and have a slow exp growth rate which archuludon only has 2 stage evolution
I didn’t even know there was another applin evolution
Pokémon Home is still down. So I gotta wait till tomorrow to get my Shiny Duruladon. But I could wait.
Metal Alloy is in the cargestone cave. Not sure where abouts i found it in there but its 100% in that cave.
Any chance we could get that centralized Evolve trading list up as a vid.
Damn Austin I thought you'd have the video up of which mons can be added to home from the indigo disk update. I'm hoping I can transfer my genesect and my silvaly.
You can’t. I checked.
I believe I found my Metal Alloy for Archaludon in Chargestone Cavern
Actually Austin, Archaludon is not a pseudo legendary. Sure the BST fits, but you forget the other two requirements: 1.25M XP from Lv. 1-100, and it's a 3 stage evo. Now i don't know about the experience group, but even if it is in tge same league as pseudos, it's only a 2-stage evo. So while Archaludon has pseudo _level_ strength, it's technically not a pseudo.
Metal alloy is pokedex reward as well
These Pokémon sound like the “you can evolve Dragonite into Yoshi” myths from gen 1 in how ridiculous they are
Is there a good way to get BP point that you have found. Love your tutorials by the way.
O yeah i missed this videos
If applying becomes the next Eevee evolutions I’m in. I love the applin family.
Can we get a video on where to find alcremie sweets? Ive found one in the savanna and three on the costal wedge. Though they were pokeball items so i dont think they respawn.
Hi austin you should do an updated room tour i find it really cool
Now I feel less guilty about trapping a specific applin I was originally going to turn into flapple in scarlet and violet forever while his parents get gmax because he gets something even better, ANOTHER EVOLUTION!
I love how hydrapple looks like ghidora from godzilla
Could you do a video on the best way to teach smeargle a move and then go over which moves he can’t learn
I Archaludon can't be Pseudo-Legendary because it still only a 2-Pokemon evolutionary-line, the stats alone don't make it Pseudo. Anyway, thanks for the video, really helpful.
I was just spoiled by some no-name KZheadr who had all the new Pokémon in their thumbnail. Thank you for not spoiling the new Pokémon in your thumbnails.
