Well i pick Durant just for one reason: I dont like Heatmore's design at all.

11wildy January 22nd, 2012 1:28 AM

Heatmor's design is just weird. Also Heatmor doesn't have big competitive value, while Durant has Hustle + Claw Sharpen, which is a great combination!

Ho-Oh January 22nd, 2012 1:29 AM

Yesss! I have a good feeling I'll be on the winning side this time (@ picking Durant), since really, Heatmor is ugly and offers nothing! Durant can resist dragons, however! Which makes it awesome.

PokémonTrainerRuby January 22nd, 2012 1:48 AM

Definitely Durant! I remember having a hard time with him!

Melinda January 22nd, 2012 1:57 AM

This is probably a bad reason to pick Heatmor, but he was my first shiny capture in Black and White. So, he wins my vote even though his design is hideous. 8D

vaporeon7 January 22nd, 2012 2:10 AM

I picked Durant!

oh you probably want a reason

Well its design is a lot more appleasing to me than Heatmor's. Heatmor has some weird tube thing sticking out of a disturbing area. Also in my Hall of Fame Challenge (yes this is a reason once again) Durant was a legend, it was so fast and it hit really hard and took hits well and also it used Thunder Wave! It was one of the strongest Pokémon I ever used in it. Durant is also not useless competitively! Unlike Heatmor, who is very useless.

Hikamaru January 22nd, 2012 2:24 AM

Durant cos Heatmor is ugly and Durant has useful attacks and abilities.

Mr Cat Dog January 22nd, 2012 2:44 AM

Guys, you need to start making these things more of a contest and less of an annihilation each time! Which is my preamble to also pick Durant. It has a non-fugly design (unlike Heatmor), it has a cool typing, awesome moves, great speed and it's a massive steel bug! What more could you want? Also, I really like how they give lots of Exp when grinding in Victory Road, which was always appreciated.

Hikamaru January 22nd, 2012 3:13 AM

Yeah, Durant with a Hustle + Hone Claws combo makes it strong.

Miakalina, believe on me: that's not a bad reason AT ALL.

Btw, I voted on Durant. It has better stats and has a cute face <3. Heatmor is a cool Pokemon too, but I prefer Durant.

miltankRancher January 22nd, 2012 5:21 AM

at first, i liked Heatmor, because Duran't design sucks for me. But when I used Durant in my run. oh boy. X-Scissor is a beast.

blue January 22nd, 2012 5:31 AM

Very interesting poll!

I'm definitely choosing Durant, as I like Heatmor I just prefer Durant much more, I love it's design and it's competitive value is great.

Oryx January 22nd, 2012 6:35 AM

I picked Durant. He looks better.

deoxys121 January 22nd, 2012 6:51 AM

Bug/Steel ftw! With only one weakness, Bug/Steel types get my vote every time. With Durant having access to Hone Claws, it allows for reliable accuracy from Stone Edge, and a boost to the power. Durant, easily.

Chiar January 22nd, 2012 7:04 AM

Durant, it's one of my favourite BW Pokémon whilst Heatmor is weaker and doesn't stand out of other fire-types.

Mew~ January 22nd, 2012 7:28 AM

I don't see anything wrong with Heatmor's design, compared to Durant that it - it's just a metal ant. :x

It's Heatmor for me.

Kenshin5 January 22nd, 2012 8:17 AM

"It breathes through a hole in its tail while it burns with an internal fire. Durant is its prey."

"Using their very hot, flame-covered tongues, they burn through Durant's steel bodies and consume their insides"

I'll take the predator over that prey...

On top of that Durant annoys me on Victory road cause it's either them or Boldore I run into. Basically their encounter rate is way to high for my liking.

Neither of the designs are overly appealing, so that really doesn't factor in my design.

shinysweety January 22nd, 2012 4:06 PM

Defiantly Durant, it's design is WAY better than Heatmor in so many ways. Plus Heatmor is mean, then ALWAYS killed my pokemon when my pokemon were higher than them. Luckily Heatmor won't annoy me anymore. -_- Anyway, me likez Durant better cause it's cooler and, to me, a better type.

blue January 22nd, 2012 4:07 PM

I've just caught a Durant today and I'm currently training him up, Level 44/45 right now and such a good competitor!

PlatinumDude January 22nd, 2012 4:15 PM

Durant takes my vote. It's more useful competitively than Heatmor because of a somewhat wider move pool. If Hustle Durant manages to set up a Hone Claws or two (after Steel are weakened or taken out), then it can potentially sweep an entire team. Plus, metal-armored ants are cool.

Ephemeral Euphoria January 22nd, 2012 4:17 PM

Heatmor for me because unlike the cocky little hellspawn that is Durant I don't have an undying hatred for Heatmor. That and I kinda like its design too.

curiousnathan January 22nd, 2012 4:21 PM

Durant, not only is it's design actually good-looking, but I find it to be an interesting pokemon to have on the team, especally with its many battiling capabilities.

oocyst January 23rd, 2012 2:17 PM

Picked durant cause I like ants and heatmor is just weird looking. Poor heatmor though, nobody likes it! :(

kevcrash January 23rd, 2012 2:31 PM

I like Heatmor better. All of you are just hatuhz
