Archaludon is a 5-star Steel / Dragon Pokémon from Paldea. It is not a rift legendary, so it stays in the normal pool and can be rolled as a timed boss when its base stat total matches that boss slot. Pulls come from the Paldea gacha banner.
The run starts with Metal Claw (Garra Metal in the game). A steel melee swing. The default starter move for Steel-types.Later cards can offer any move of Steel / Dragon plus every Normal move.

No. Archaludon joins the collection from the Paldea gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.
Archaludon is Steel / Dragon. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.
Yes. A wild Archaludon is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.
No. Archaludon can appear in waves. If its BST sits in a boss band, it can also be one of the five timed bosses.
