Choice Band Durant utilizes its Hustle-boosted STAB moves along with coverage to OHKO a variety of the metagame's threats. First Impression‎'‎'s priority allows Durant to beat fast, prominent Pokemon such as Galarian Darmanitan and non-Fake Out Zeraora, as well as OHKOing non-resistant Pokemon like Haxorus and Choice Specs Rotom-W. However, this move has the downside of only working on the first turn out, making Durant susceptible to users of Protect and Fake Out, such as Rillaboom and Zeraora. Iron Head is STAB-boosted and is used to KO threats such as Sylveon, Mimikyu, Avalugg, and Aromatisse. Superpower helps with Steel-types such as Excadrill and Bisharp. Giga Impact should be used against Pokemon that either resist or don't take super effective damage from Durant's STAB moves and Superpower, such as Choice Specs Rotom-H and offensive Primarina. Although Hustle boosts Durant's power, it does so at the cost of accuracy, adding general unreliability and making matchups against Substitute users, like Whimsicott, less reliable.

Durant is very weak to non-Fighting-weak Steel-types such as Aegislash and Corviknight. This makes Pokemon such as Rotom-H and Cinderace great partners and they appreciate Durant's ability to take on Water-types such as Primarina and Choice Band Dracovish. Durant is also extremely weak to Fire-type moves from the likes of Cinderace and Choice Scarf Chandelure, making Primarina and Milotic great partners. Primarina and Milotic also appreciate Durant‎'s ability to KO Rotom-H and Mimikyu. Durant also struggles with stall Pokemon such as Galarian Corsola, Type: Null, and Milotic, which makes Choice Scarf Gardevior and Taunt Whimsicott great partners, and they appreciate Durant‎'s Fighting coverage against Pokemon like Excadrill.

Pokesartoolcay this is clearly not ready for QC/still in WIP, based on the lack of formatting and lack of information. I'm changing the title back to WIP, pls try to flesh out the analysis and actually get the formatting in order in the next 48 hours

Choice Band Durant utilizes its Hustle boosted STABs along with coverage moves to OHKO a variety of threats. First iImpression's priority allows it to beat prominent fast Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan-Galar and Dracovish 252 Atk Choice Band Hustle Durant First Impression vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dracovish: 292-345 (90.9 - 107.4%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO this just isnt at all reliable especially when they can just invest in bulk, along with OHKOing Pokemon weak to Bug-type moves such as Rillaboom and Crawdaunt. Iron Head is a secondary STAB used to KO threats such as Sylveon, Mimikyu, and Aromatisse. Superpower helps with Steel-types such as Excadrill and Bisharp. Giga Impact is a general Normal-type move that should be used against Pokemon such as Rotom-H and W, Primarina, and Haxorus, who don't take Super-Effective damage from any of the aforementioned moves.

Durant is very weak to Steel-types that are not weak to Fighting moves such as Aegislash and Corviknight. This makes Pokemon such as Rotom-H and Cinderace great partners who appreciate Durant's ability to take on Water-types such as Primarina and Choice Band Scarf Dracovish needs giga and is still iffy against bulky. Durant is also extremely weak to Fire-type moves from the likes of Cinderace and Choice Scarf Chandelure, making Primarina and Milotic, who appreciate Durant's ability to KO Rotom-Heat and Mimikyu, great partners.

Choice Band Durant utilizes its Hustle boosted STABs along with coverage moves to OHKO a variety of threats. First Impression's priority allows it to beat prominent fast Pokemon such as Choice Scarf you're always going to be using First Impression and you'll win regardless of item Galarian Darmanitan and non-Fake Out Zeraora, along with OHKOing Pokemon weak to Bug-type moves such as Rillaboom and Crawdaunt hit neutrally, like Haxorus and Choice Specs Rotom-W. 1) rillaboom runs protect, and Crawdaunt isn't super common 2) moves beating things they hit super effective isn't super notable, but OHKOing neutral threats is notable. Mention that it can only work the first turn, so Pokemon running moves like Fake Out and Protect can beat it, like Fake Out Zeraora Iron Head is a secondary STAB used to KO threats such as Sylveon, Mimikyu, Avalugg, and Aromatisse. Superpower helps with Steel-types such as Excadrill and Bisharp. Giga Impact is a general Normal-type move that should be used against Pokemon such as Choice Specs Rotom-H and W since stall wins offensive Primarina, and Haxorus, first impression KOs - more accurate who either resist or don't take Super-Effective damage from any of the aforementioned moves. Mention Hustle boosting power, but also that it makes Durant susceptible to faster Substitute users, like Whimsicott

Durant is very weak to Steel-types that are not weak to Fighting moves such as Aegislash and Corviknight. This makes Pokemon such as Rotom-H and Cinderace great partners who appreciate Durant's ability to take on Water-types such as Primarina and Choice Band Dracovish. Durant is also extremely weak to Fire-type moves from the likes of Cinderace and Choice Scarf Chandelure, making Primarina and Milotic, who appreciate Durant's ability to KO Rotom-Heat and Mimikyu, great partners. You need to mention the stall that Durant loses to - Corsola-G, Type: Null, Milotic, Gastrodon, and stall Rotom-W and H, and how stallbreaking Pokemon like Choice Scarf Gardevoir and Taunt Whimsicott can beat these threats
