Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Dragon Pulse is Duraludon's first move. It is obtained by reaching level 7 and upgrading Laser Focus into it instead of Flash Cannon. The user charges power before dealing damage to enemies in the area of effect. User's movement speed is decreased while charging, but the longer power is charged, the wider the move's area of effect becomes and the more damage it deals. At level 11, the move restores 8% of user's HP if it knocks out an enemy player.
