Choice Scarf Durant is able to use its Hustle-boosted Attack stat and high Speed for a Choice Scarf user to outspeed and KO most of the other prominent Choice Scarf users in the metagame, such as Hydreigon, Galarian Darmanitan, Mimikyu, Dracovish, Duraludon, and Excadrill. Iron Head and X-Scissor are Durant's STAB moves, and they allow it to hit Dark-, Ice-, and Fairy-type Pokemon such as the Galarian Darmanitan, Hydreigon, and Mimikyu, as well as Indeedee-F, super effectively. X-Scissor also allows Durant to beat Choice Scarf Dracovish because it can survive a Fishious Rend and 2HKO in return with X-Scissor. Stone Edge and Superpower allow Durant to hit Steel- and Fire-type Pokemon such as Duraludon, Excadrill, and Cinderace super effectively. 188 EVs in Special Defense allow Durant to survive a Draco Meteor from Modest Choice Specs Duraludon and 2HKO in return with Superpower. 168 Speed EVs with a Jolly nature allow Durant to outspeed Hydreigon, the fastest Choice Scarf user that Durant can outspeed and KO, without sacrificing too many EVs. The remaining EVs are invested into Attack to maximize Durant's damage output.

Durant struggles to KO bulky Water-types such as Milotic and Toxapex so Pokemon that can handle them such as Dracozolt, and Whimsicott make good partners for Durant, and they also appreciate Durant's ability to remove Pokemon such as Mimikyu and Galarian Darmanitan, respectively. Other Pokemon that can work well with Durant are those that can deal with Fire-types such as Dracovish, Crustle, Milotic, and Toxapex. In return, Durant can remove the Grass-, Water-, and Steel-types that threaten them. Pokemon that can stomach special hits such as Goodra and Sylveon are also appreciated due to Durant's abysmal Special Defense, and they appreciate Durant's ability to remove the faster Pokemon that threaten them such as Choice Scarf Dracovish, Duraludon, and Excadrill. Sturdy users with Counter, such as Sudowoodo, Sawk, and Crustle, are also problematic to Durant, as they are guaranteed to survive a hit from it and can OHKO it in return, so checks to those Pokemon, such as Haxorus and Excadrill, work well with Durant, and Durant removes their checks such as Sylveon and Mimikyu for Haxorus and Choice Scarf Dracovish for Excadrill.

Iron Head and X-Scissor are STAB moves that allow Durant to hit Dark, Ice, Psychic, and Fairy type pokemon super effectively such as the aforementioned Darmanitan-G, Hydreigon, and Mimikyu as well as Hatterene not viable sorry lad and Indeedee-F. X-Scissor also allows Durant to beat Dracovish because it can survive Fishious Rend and 2HKO it in return with X-Scissor. Stomping Tantrum is a coverage move that allows Durant to KO opposing Fire and Steel type pokemon that resist its STAB moves such as Cinderace, Duraludon,252 Atk Hustle Durant Stomping Tantrum vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Duraludon: 192-228 (68.3 - 81.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO and Excadrill also a bad roll. Stone Edge and Superpower can be used instead to hit the aforementioned pokemon harder due to the higher base power of both moves however Stone Edge's low accuracy is something to be considered. 252 Speed evs with a jolly nature allows Durant to make the most out of its base 109 speed to out speed the aforementioned choice scarf users as well as other naturally fast pokemon such as Dragapult and Cinderace. 252 EVs are placed into attack to maximize its damage output since there are no additional matchups that Durant guaranteed to beat by having specific defensive investment.

Durant struggles to KO bulky water types such as Milotic and Toxapex so pokemon that can handle them such as Dracozolt, and Whimsicott make good partners for it. What’s durant do for them? Other pokemon that can work well with Durant are those who can deal with Fire types such as Dracovish, Crustle, and the aforementioned bulky waters of Milotic and Toxapex. What’s Durant do for them Pokemon who can stomach special hits such as Goodra and Sylveon are also appreciated due to Durant's abysmal base 48 special defense. What’s durant do for them?Sturdy users with counter, such as Sudowoodo!, Sawk, and Crustle are also problematic to Durant as they are guaranteed to live a hit from it and can OHKO it in return so checks to those pokemon, such as Corviknight and Mimikyu also work well on Durant's team.

A. Have Superpower as the 4th move and do not slash Stomping Tantrum
B. Remove Stomping Tantrum, it’s not able to kill anything you listed besides Cinderace.
C. Reword the stuff about Stone Edge to reflect that you’re no longer writing about Stomping Tantrum.
D. Please fix your team options.

When you’ve worked with my comments and done the 4 things I’ve set out, I’ll give you QC 1/2

Implement and then I'll check over. good job
 
Implemented the changes. Can you review them and confirm that it is up to standard pqs?
 
I discussed this spread with XinosXinos, it retains all matchups and allows Durant to beat all Specs Duraludon (besides Metal Burst)

GP 1/1

In the future, please make sure to capitalize phrases like "Pokemon" and stat names so the GP team doesn't have to.

Implemented. Sorry for the lack of capitalization, I'll try to be better about that in the future! :)
 
you still didnt capitalize everything correctly; "Choice Scarf" should be capitalized like how i did it. otherwise it looks fine
 
Kris , I fixed the Choice Scarf error so it should be ready to go but just in case I want you to check it over again to see if I need to fix anything more.
