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's Fighting/Dragon typing leaves it vulnerable to Fairy, Ice, Flying, Psychic, and Dragon. 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.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Fairy |
| 2x (Weak) | Ice, Flying, Psychic, Dragon |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, Bug, Rock, Dark |
Eelektross's Dragon Pulse hits Koraidon for 47-56%.

How to Evolve
Breeding
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.

Moves
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.

Koraidon is a gift in this game. Pick it up at Poco Path — no wild encounters or spawn rates to deal with. The details below cover exactly when it becomes available.
Best Locations to Catch Koraidon in Scarlet & Violet
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.
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. Speed tells the real story. Base 135 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. Fits the sweeper role.
Koraidon has answers, but so do you. Priority moves (Mach Punch, Aqua Jet, Ice Shard) bypass its speed. Bulky walls that resist its STAB also shut it down.
Since Scarlet & Violet, Koraidon has appeared in 1 games. Legendary Pokemon like Koraidon are usually found through story events or special post-game areas rather than random encounters.
