#42 Durant - Future Flash (sv4m)

Durant is a Pokémon with 70 HP, Uncommon rarity, and part of the Future Flash set released on 2023/10/27. It features two attacks, Swarming Rage and Hard Scissors, each with distinct energy costs and effects. Swarming Rage requires two Colorless energy and deals 20× damage, with the amount dependent on damage counters present on all of your Durant. The attack’s text specifies it inflicts 20 damage per counter, emphasizing a multiplier effect tied to prior damage. Hard Scissors demands one Metal and two Colorless energy, dealing 80 damage while granting a defensive benefit during the opponent’s next turn. This ability reduces the Pokémon’s damage taken by 20, applying after Weakness and Resistance adjustments. The card’s artwork is by Kyoko Umemoto, aligning with its mechanical theme and tactical focus. Its design balances offensive and defensive capabilities through varied energy requirements and conditional effects.
