Idea: After living off a diet of steel ants, Heatmor evolves and gains the Fire/Steel type itself. Durant on the other hand, evolves into a Fire type. . . somehow, and is now a "fire ant".
OK, sounds good.
>heatmor dons Durant's steel plating, is now an armoured anteater
>durant loses its armour to expose a body of magma
that could actually be neat
maybe even as a cross-trade evo a la Karrablast and Shelmet

>>26530432
yay someone likes my shitty ideas
>>26530480
Maybe the evo method could be for durant to faint a heatmor, and vice versa, and level up.

Meh. The whole theme of those two are that they're constantly one-upping each other in evolution. Durant gained steel plating to avoid being eaten, so Heatmor grew a fire tongue. Neither of your suggestions seem like a middle finger to the other Pokémon when they should.
I love the idea of Durant getting a Mega or cross-gen with Heatproof, and then Heatmor responds by getting one with Mold Breaker.

>Durant becomes a dragon to counter Heatmor fire tongue
>Heatmor becomes a fairy to keep eating durants
>>26531187
This is a fair point.
By the way Heatmor and Durant were designed by Sugimori, so that's interesting.
>>26529878
It could become a velvet ant called Velvant. Give it an ability called Firebug that does something that acts as a Fire-type Lightningrod/Storm Drain.

>eviolite durant
Please no.
>>26531187
Durant beats heatmor though. Flat out one shots a nigga and is faster. Realistically, you'd be giving heatmor the first adaptation, something that makes it faster. Speed Boost, Gale Fire, just more speed outright, whatever. Speed boost could be justified through its exhaust pipes becoming a fully fledged motor.
THEN you give durant heatproof or whatever the fuck might help it not die to the beast that is gofast the anteater.

>>26530480
oh fuck me I didn't even consider that
>>26529878
No, leave Durant alone.
>>26533383
impossible, heatmor loves durant.
>fire/steel type
Just fuck my shit up
>>26536377
Yeah man such an awful type.
>>26530480
>heatmor gains water typing and learns scald
>>26536399
If you don't have legendary tier stats along with a movepool like heatran (which it won't have) prepare to get your shit fucked
>>26533181
>just more speed outright
Heatmost
Fire/Steel
No Guard/Flash Fire. Hidden: White Smoke.
HP: 85
Atk: 107 (+10)
Def: 66
Spa: 110 (+5)
Spd: 66
Spe: 110 (+45)One more than durant.
BST: 484 -> 544
Something similar for durant.
>>26529878
Requires one Durant to be sacrificed
Given them both Protean. The idea being that their cat and mouse game has escalated to the point where they're both constantly changing type.
>>26529878
>find Heatmor my first blind playthrough of White
>"holy shit I need that"
>mfw finding out it sucks
It's not fair
>>26533057
I'm glad that fucking chink hack is retiring already.
To this day I still don't know what he was going for with that zombie tumor sprawling out from behind Heatnor's ass.
>>26537572
>chink
The games are Japanese, moron. Also it was a fucking exhaust, you pleb.
>>26530480
Could be cool, but I think the Durant bit needs a bit of tweaking than just "its had magma in it all along"
>>26536741
It has a pretty solid shiny at least, I just don't get why they'd give something this underwhelming a late-game spot like this, I expected some solid stats from it.
>>26530807
>Maybe the evo method could be for durant to faint a heatmor, and vice versa, and level up.
This.
Heatmor gains a melted armor plate and Durant's armor goes red-hot and partially melts off, giving him Bug type
>>26536420
Fire/steel is an amazing typing. It quad resists like half the fucking type chart
