To find a Duraludon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Indigo Disk, you need to make your way to the southern part of the Polar Biome. The Blueberry Academy Terrarium is divided into four biomes and some of the newer Pokemon that were introduced with the Indo Disk DLC are only found in one particular biome.

For the Duraludon, you need to head to the Polar Biome, which is to the northwest. Once in the area, look for cave entrances, or just directly make your way to the Chargestone Caverns. Here, you will find the spawn point for a lot of Duraludons.

In order to get an Archaludon for your Indigo Disk Pokedex, you need to evolve a Duraludon into it. It is the only evolution of the base Pokemon, and there is no other way to obtain it in the game apart from using an item to evolve your Duraludon into it.

To evolve your Duraludon into an Archaludon in the Indigo Disk, you need to get your hands on an Evolution Item. The item in question is the Metal Alloy, which you can find out in the open world as a dropped shiny if you are lucky. You can also purchase it from the school store with 300 Blueberry Points (BP).
