Godlike Usmash
Alright, even though most people already know about this, both Yanmega and Zoroark reached both a simple and supermajority this vote, so i'll be updating this right now with the removal of both from S rank!
I have no real opinion on Durant myself atm, but i'd just like to point out that Durant's reliance on low BP moves actually makes it so it doesn't hit as hard as that attack stat suggests. Move BP is pretty important when it comes to sweeping, and imo it matters just as much as the actual Attack stat of the Pokemon thats using the move. Right now some of the terms being thrown around about Durant's power make it look like some power god like Mega Mawile in the higher tiers or something, but in reality its power is more along the level of.
252 Atk Life Orb Hustle Durant X-Scissor vs. 80 HP / 0 Def Manaphy: 226-266 (62.6 - 73.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Life Orb Primeape Close Combat vs. 80 HP / 0 Def Manaphy: 220-259 (60.9 - 71.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
Not really weak by any means, especially for something so fast, but its no Medicham/Hitmonlee/Diggersby.
I'll be testing out Durant soon in the new metagame so i'll get back to you guys in a bit
