Everything about Koraidon's stat line is built to win. 135 base Attack leads the way, and even its worst stat (85 Sp. Atk) isn't a real liability. Watch the Fairy matchup though — quadruple damage means one hit can end it. Watch the Fairy matchup though — quadruple damage means one hit can end it.
Nothing fancy in Koraidon's spread. It leans physical with Attack out front. And you'll get 3 Attack EVs per KO for it. Follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.
This seems to be the Winged King mentioned in an old expedition journal. It was said to have split the land with its bare fists.
This Pokémon resembles Cyclizar, but it is far burlier and more ferocious. Nothing is known about its ecology or other features.
Koraidon Weakness
FragileKoraidon's Fighting/Dragon typing leaves it vulnerable to Fairy, Ice, Flying, Psychic, and Dragon moves. Fairy hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. It resists 7 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely. Koraidon's overall bulk (100/115/100) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
You can't breed Koraidon or evolve it into anything else. This Fighting/Dragon legendary packs 670 stats and doesn't need a chain to be relevant.
How to Evolve
Loaded Dice buys the setup turn. Koraidon clicks Swords Dance, then starts cleaning with Flare Blitz and the remaining moves. Jolly nature with max Attack and Speed EVs makes sure nothing tanks a boosted hit comfortably.

Breadth over depth defines this movepool. Koraidon won't stack one type's damage ceiling, but coverage across 13 types means it always has an effective option. Focus Punch and Draco Meteor anchor the STAB core.

Best Locations
At 670 BST, Koraidon is built different. We rank it S-Tier. As a Legendary Pokemon, the raw stats back up the reputation. Best used as a sweeper.
Watch for Grimmsnarl (Fairy), Baxcalibur (Ice), and Dodrio (Flying) when using Koraidon. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Grimmsnarl is the most dangerous since Fairy moves deal 4x damage. Psychic and Dragon-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter. Koraidon has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
Koraidon doesn't evolve. As a Legendary Pokemon, it stands on its own without an evolutionary line. It's a Fighting/Dragon type with 670 BST.
Orichalcum Pulse turns the sunlight harsh when entering battle, and boosts Attack while active — that's the one you want on Koraidon. It's the only ability Koraidon has.
Koraidon is leaning toward the physical side (base 135 Attack). Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. But the speed tells the real story — base 135 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. Fits the sweeper role.
