Comparison Series – Steel Strikers Face-Off!! | Ft. Duraludon/Metagross/Zacian | Pokemon Masters EX



Another Galar Steel Special Striker being added to the game – i.e. Raihan and Duraludon, hence the purpose of this comparison series is to find out who is the best among Raihan, Steven and Gloria. Or more specifically, to find out what are their roles respectively in different battle scenario.

With similar style of presentation as per the previous comparison videos, here’s the comparison of sync nuke and DPS damage among the 3 Steel Strikers, after taking the following factors into consideration:

– All units are 20/20 potential and EX-ed;
– All units have the same move level at 3/5;
– All units have the same lucky skill – i.e. Critical Strike 2
– All units are paired with units that maximise their damage output for Sync Nuke and DPS;
– Fight against the same match (namely ‘Trials on the Isle’ – Full Force Battle Round 2);
– Targeting the same mobs, i.e. Salazzle (reason I choose this opponent is because it has the same physical and special defense stats, hence making it comparable);
– For sync grid, pls note that the builds shown on the screen are purely constructed for the purpose of this video, i.e. grid tiles that maximise the damage output for Sync nuke / DPS;

Kindly note that this video solely analyse the damage comparison. Meaning other comparison factors such as self-sufficiency, team survivability, types coverage, and etc were not taken into account.

Additional note:
I didn’t include Tough Cookie in Duraludon’s grid because I feel that for practical purposes, usually no one covers that. However for the sake of completeness, here’s an extra findings if Tough Cookie is covered:

– Duraludon’s Steel Beam will hit 25% higher with Tough Cookie
– Duraludon will deal the highest DPS damage among all, dealing 4320 damage (15% higher than Zacian’s damage).
