DurantRebel Clash #132 Pokémon Card

Durant, known as the Iron Ant Pokémon, is a Steel and Bug type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It is unique in that it has no evolutionary line, standing as a singular species. These Pokémon are typically found in caves and arid regions, often nesting deep underground. Their diet primarily consists of plant roots and sometimes other small Pokémon, though they are famously known for their rivalry with Heatmor, a fire-ant-eating Pokémon. Durant’s hard, metallic shell provides excellent defense, making it a formidable opponent despite its relatively small size. In the Pokémon games, Durant is often encountered in Chargestone Cave in the Unova region. Its ability, Hustle, boosts its Attack stat at the cost of accuracy, making it a powerful physical attacker. In the anime, Durant has appeared in various episodes, often showcasing its diligent nature and protective instincts towards its colony. Its design, resembling a metallic ant, gives it a distinct appearance that has contributed to its unique cultural significance as a symbol of hard work and resilience in the Pokémon world.
