Durant

Description

This Basic Metal-type Pokémon offers distinct tactical options for players building their decks. With 80 HP, the card relies on its two Colorless attacks to control the board state. Durant’s first attack, Colorless Knock Over, allows the player to discard any Stadium card currently in play, dealing 20 damage. This effect provides utility by disrupting the opponent’s field setup. The second attack, Mountain Munch, discards the top two cards of the opponent's deck and deals 30 damage. This aggressive option can deplete an opponent's resources while applying pressure. Collectors appreciate this card for its straightforward design and utility within the Metal type. The artwork is credited to Ken Sugimori, whose illustrations define the visual identity of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As a Common rarity card, Durant serves as a consistent piece for those completing the Lost Thunder collection. Its straightforward mechanics make it accessible for both new and experienced players. The card’s Pokédex entry notes that Durant attacks in groups, covering themselves in steel armor to protect themselves from Heatmor. This lore adds depth to the character beyond its gameplay function. For investors and hobbyists, cards like this represent the tangible history of the TCG’s evolution. The Lost Thunder expansion remains a notable part of the Pokémon franchise’s catalog, and Durant stands as a recognizable entry within it.
