Last time was Heatmor, today will be about its "prey", the metal ant Pokemon Durant.
My thoughts: It's funny how gameplay wise, the prey is stronger than the predator. I admit, I thought Durant would be a pretty mediocre Pokemon, but I've heard really good things about it. In short, I've heard some attribute it to being like a slightly faster Scizor. I've also heard that it's a good Poke to use it the Battle Maison, something about its truant ability being a counter to the hax within that battle facility. Also, it appears that Durant is our first ant based Pokemon.
Overall, I would think Gen 5's good bug streak would end here, but Durant's a pretty good Pokemon.

Durant is bro tier
>>26421739
I originally thought durant was nothing short of a gimmick pokemon, something to complement Heatmor, and it was dumb for me to see it in the very end of the game. However, after hearing about how good it is, I gave it a try, and now I love it.
I still think scizor is better, and he is my favourite bug pokemon, but durant is so close. I love ants in general, since being a kid I've always been fascinated by their strength, and durant is testament of that, with its humongous attack, couple this with Hustle (I know it sucks competitively, but I still like it) and a choice band, and this guy can reach ATK levels that a swords dance scizor would take several turns to reach.
I like the design, its competitive nieche, and its playstile in general. Top bug for me, even better than volcarona imo
>>26421739
one of my favourites, by the sheer virtue of being the best sweep mon in my B/W RU team
Bug/Steel meant it had a lot of favourable matchups and a hone claws can easily lead to a sweep because of hustle. Fire types can't switch in safely as well due to rock slide.
even though it can't deal with qwilfish well, as long as I find the time for it to set up once, it's usually enough to sweep the opponent
What has better story? The mainline games or the Mystery Dungeon games?
mystery dungeon hands down
i thought the most recent one was amazing
>>26421701
I agree.
Two of the villains remind of Digimon tamers and I quite like that actually.
