Fun fact, in the TCG there was an incredibly overpowered Durant card to the point that they made a Heatmor card that specifically countered it and could be used in any deck because it used colourless energy
Devour Durant Deck won me so many tournaments back in it's day. Nobody ever was prepared for it. The opponents always went from "What are you doing, stupid?" over "Oh, my gosh, that stupid thing works" to "Great game, wish I would've won". I only ever lost two times out of two seasons of TCG and both because my setup was one round of. Totally fell in love with the little ant back then.
All of the good durant cards just mill your opponent's deck (discard cards from their deck until they run out and lose the game). I always found it cute how the carpenter ant pokemon, oblivious of the battle and goes straight to devouring your opponents resources and they have to scramble in order to stomp on your ants while also trying to prevent them from getting rid of all their cards. It's just like real life ants! I love it!
90 base power, 85% accuracy, 10% chance to lower ALL of the target's stats by 1 stage (including accuracy/evasion). Hits both opponents and your ally in a Double Battle, hits regardless of Water Absorb or Storm Drain (you do not want to absorb the cheeto water).
Durant was the day I bet ALL of my channel points on yes and it paid off. Also I'm 100% interested in more videos of you + others doing dumb things at cons/meetups.
I’m happy that our long-awaited ant ‘Mon ended up being such a menace. Ants IRL are unstoppable armies of death with actual military tactics, each troop loaded with strong stings and bites. Only thing more metal is a giant furnace monster that melts their innards with a tongue made of fire. Wonderful duo, menacing and cool. Heatmor even scared me as a kid because I grew up loving ants.
Mad props to you for your patience in shiny hunting. You're my favorite youtuber of all time because of your good sense of humor, your story telling, and you keep it clean. Bibarelblogspokemon should be jealous.
whoa! what an honor for my shiny antacid "art" to make it in the video. congrats on the Durant. Durant would definitely be my favorite mon if golisopod and malamar didnt already share #1 spot
I don’t know if you get comments on this a lot or if it is even something you care about, but I’m always incredibly impressed with how in shape you are right now. Watching older videos is a stark difference and I wanna commend you on that!
i'm a durant fan. love that 70 pound little guy. hes one of my top favorites ever and i dont know why. hes just ant and he tickles my brain, like he is under my skin.
Thank you for the amazing video, but more importantly thank you for reminding me I need to get back on the Cheeto water grind it’s been to long! I think I’ll have to make that ultimate Cheeto water tonight! I’ll remember to post my results too! Oh and congrats on the shinies I guess lol
Heatmor is one of my favorite Unova Pokémon. I hunted one for months in Shield’s wild area, and eventually found one with a very rare mark a day or two before the Isle of Armor dropped.
Dude you talking about the quesarito with no sour cream just as it appears was so beautiful! Literally my favorite thing from taco bell until they removed it y.y congrats on the shinies my guy!
Congrats and well done! Trying all the cheeto waters is a huge accomplishment. You should be very proud! Loved seeing the UL ant statue! Wish I remembered the story behind it XD Can't wait for the next one!
Thank you for the video! I appreciate that you're waiting until the event comes out next week to finish the indigo disk movie, i really wanted that to be included.
Congrats on getting them.....!! The first part of this video, makes these hunts feel fun and like a Journey, for you and everone around you lol This makes me wanna hunt in Gen 5 again
Your layouts keep getting more and more interesting. Lmao I'm not much of a Twitch-watcher but I may have to tune in some time just to see the context for how you get to these points.
I had a heatmor as my champion fire type in pokemon sword. his name is Pisss. I love him so very much. he's goofy and slow and the reason why I love heatmor so much and consider it one of my faves :) I always make sure to catch it in any game it's available in
Very nice showcase of two shinys I’m going to be hunting this year but it would be fun if we had something like Pokémon camp in B&W to have to two best freind interact.
this is so fun! i started rewatching lost boys with my bestie around when you uploaded this and i immediately caught a full odds shiny chikorita! named her vash since she's a plant lol
This is a super specific issue I have but I wish Durant had either the ability Heatproof or just straight up Flash Fire. I recall at least one dex entry mentioning how Durant built up a powerful exoskeleton to protect itself from its main predator Heatmor. And in doing so it gave itself a 4x weakness? I just never understood that, I feel like it'd be at least fair to give Durant something like that, it's Durant after all it's not like it'll make it broken
another sublime absol upload 😌im not sure what you're hunting next, but have you seen the catchable shiny battle tower pokemon you can get in ruby/sapphire? just watched a really neat video about it from lettuceleaf and thought it would be a great hunt. looking forward to more!!
My caillouwott. I remember that stream, I went to bed before the voting, checked the vod to see how my submission, the Caillouwott. did., and in the process got to see the shiny too!
I actually got a shiny heatmor while hunting for deino in victory road, in the moment I was so angry because I already phased 3 times, but now I'm happy I got it
I just got my shiny charm today, and I'm gonna Masuda hunt a shiny Azurill for my little brother, Merrill, because the Marill line is just used as a nickname for him!
