Verdict

Collector's Pick
Durant is a Bug/Steel-type Pokemon with base stats of 217/188/151 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 3,007. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Durant may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Durant in Pokemon GO?

Durant is weak to Fire-type moves. It has a double weakness to Fire, taking 156% more damage from these types. When battling Durant, prioritize using Fire-type attackers to exploit this double weakness for maximum effectiveness.

What is Durant's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Durant's maximum CP is 3,007 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 2,659 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon.

What CP is a 100% IV Durant?

If you catch a perfect IV Durant, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Durant ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
How to get Durant in Pokemon GO?
