Durant (Japanese: アイアント Aiant) is a dual-type Bug/Steel Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Durant is an insectoid Pokémon with a steel body that has three distinct sections. Its ovoid abdomen is dark gray with a light gray band wrapping around the middle and two circles resembling rivets near a jagged seam. Durant's thorax is slightly smaller, but identical in design with its abdomen. The only difference being one circle instead of two. Its head is spherical, containing the same light gray wrap design as its body. However, it wraps from front to back on the head. On each side of its head are large red eyes with hollow black pupils. Durant has two round mandibles that it uses to grab things and feed itself. The mandibles are attached below its eyes and are situated in front of its horizontally opening mouth. Atop its head are two long antennae, each tipped with small spheres. Durant has six black legs sprouting from its thorax. Each leg has one claw at its tip, except the front legs that each have two.
Durant is extremely territorial. It only lives in colonies and digs mazes underground designed to be as complicated as possible. It grows steel armor to protect itself from its natural predator Heatmor. When they are under attack, Durant gathers in groups to attack as a whole to keep Heatmor away. They also gather together when protecting their eggs from Sandaconda. As seen in the anime, Durant prefers to eat vegetation, namely leaves. It will attack swiftly and aggressively if bothered, but will not pursue intruders once outside of its colony.
In the anime
Major appearances
Multiple Durant debuted in Battling the Leaf Thieves!, where they accidentally kidnapped Iris's Axew while gathering food.
Multiple Durant appeared in JN072, with one of them being caught by Goh.
Minor appearances
In Genesect and the Legend Awakened, multiple Durant were living in Pokémon Hills. At one point, they attacked Team Rocket.
In Sword and Shield: "From Here to Eternatus!", Oleana's subordinate used a Durant to confront Sonia, only for it to be confronted by Raihan's Duraludon, which easily defeated it in the following episode.

Trivia
- Durant and Heatmor were both designed by Ken Sugimori.[1]
- Durant supposedly developed their metal armor to resist Heatmor's attacks, but due to the Steel-type's weakness to Fire-type attacks, the Durant have instead made themselves more vulnerable.
- Durant and Heatmor have the same leveling rate, catch rate, hatch time, base experience yield, and base stat total.
- Durant is the only Steel-type Pokémon to have an insectoid body.
Origin
Durant appears to be based on an ant, possibly trap-jaw ants. Its coloration may be based on the natural silver coloration of the silver spiny ant (Polyrhachis sp.).
Name origin
Durant may be a combination of durable or endurance (referring to its Steel type) and ant.
Aiant may be a combination of アイアン aian (iron) and ant.
