Strategy Overview

Durant is among the tier's premier offensive threats largely in part due to its high Speed and Attack that is bolstered even further by its ability, Hustle. It can perform a whole variety of roles that can accomplish much in a match, from a wallbreaker to a sweeper to a reliable revenge killer. Its good Bug / Steel typing and decent physical bulk can grant it some chances to freely come in and also makes it hard to take down with priority when attempting a sweep. Unfortunately, while Hustle grants Durant an amazing power boost, it comes at the cost of the accuracy of its moves, which can be a letdown at times. Durant also has terrible special bulk and HP that will make it hard to setup or switch in at times as well as make it easy to revenge kill with many of the common Choice Scarf users. All in all though, Durant is one of tier's best Pokemon and is a threat that should be considered for a spot on your team.
