You can use several creature combinations to take down Duraludon on your own, and here are the best ones:

1) Gigantamax Machamp + Two Blissey (generally best)

At the outset, re-lobby if you see Duraludon with Hyper Beam as it will deal too much damage. Lead, using the first Blissey, and keep using Pound to charge your Dynamax Meter. Dodge attacks, especially the focused ones, to preserve health.

When the Dynamax Meter is fully charged, switch into Gigantamax Machamp and use three turns of G-Max Chi Strike. Once out of the Max phase, bring Blissey back out and repeat the process until Duraludon faints. It should take you four to five Max phases to whittle down the enemy completely, depending on the power level of your Machamp.

2) Eternatus + Two Crowned Sword Zacian (best against Dragon Claw + Hyper Beam sets) / Two Crowned Shield Zamazenta (optimal against all movesets)

Depending on the Crowned Dog you are using, check the Dynamax Duraludon's moveset and relobby accordingly. The attack plan is the same as the above strategy. Soak damage with the Crowned Zacian or Crowned Zamazenta and attack with the Eternatus.

Make sure that Eternatus' Max Attack is upgraded for the best results when you attempt to solo defeat Duraludon in Pokemon GO 4-star Max Battles.
