Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Flash Cannon is Duraludon's first move. It is obtained by reaching level 7 and upgrading Laser Focus into it instead of Dragon Pulse. The user ruptures the ground in the designated direction; dealing damage to enemies in the area of effect and decreasing their movement speed for a short time. Afterward, the user goes into "Cannon Mode" rooting them for 6s or if a basic attack is not made for 2.5s. While in Cannon Mode, basic attacks have longer range and deal increased damage. Stealth Rock, Dragon Tail, and boosted attacks can be used while in this mode and boosted attacks decrease the movement speed of enemies hit for a short time. At level 11, enemies in the ruptured ground's area of effect are also unable to act for 1s.
