Durant is pretty rare in Pokemon Go and is yet to be added to the Pokedex of most players. So, here’s all you need to get Durant in Pokemon Go, along with its shiny chances and best moves for PvP and PvE.

Pokemon Go players need to catch plenty of Pokemon to complete their Pokedex, and region exclusives like Durant are some of the most difficult to get.

If you’re trying to add this rare Bug/Steel-type species to your collection, here’s how to get Durant in Pokemon Go, including details on its shiny odds and recommended moves for PvP and PvE battles.

How to get Durant in Pokemon Go

You can get Durant globally in Pokemon Go in the wild and in 3-Star Raids from May 8, 2024, at 10 AM until May 9, 2024, at 10 AM (local time) during the Rivals Week 2024 event.

Keep in mind that Durant is normally found only in the Americas and Africa. So, if you’re looking to catch this region-exclusive Pokemon outside the event, you can trade with your in-game friends.

Can Durant be shiny in Pokemon Go?

Yes, you can get shiny Durant in Pokemon Go. The shiny odds of Durant will be boosted to 1 in 128 encounters, or 0.78% chance during the Rivals Week 2024 event.

Durant’s stats in Pokemon Go are 217 Attack, 188 Defense, and 151 HP.

Pokemon Go Durant best moveset for PvP

The best PvP moves for Durant in Pokemon Go are Bug Bite with X-Scissor and Stone Edge.

Bug Bite has good damage output as well as energy generation to use X-Scissor for some neat Bug-type damage in PvP battles. Stone Edge gives it coverage against Fire-types that Durant is double weak to, as well as beating Ice, Flying, and other Bug types.

In my experience, most trainers never expected Stone Edge from Durant and so, I’ve often got OHKOs when my opponent didn’t use a shield.

Pokemon Go Durant best moveset for PvE

The best PvE moves for Durant are Bug Bite and X-Scissor.

Thanks to its decent 207 Attack stat, Durant is capable of putting in some work in Raids, even though it won’t last too long in the battle.

Is Durant good in Pokemon Go?

No, Durant is not good for Pokemon Go battles, as there are better options for both PvP and Raid battles.

While its decent offenses help, it can tackle Dark and Psychic-types, but its underwhelming bulk makes it fall short of making much of an impact.
