Demon Ant

Demon Ant is a Durant created by Aroma Swirl. It utilizes the devilishly cheesy paraflinch strat, first paralyzing the opponent with either Thunder Wave or Secret Power and then spamming Bite, Iron Head or Rock Slide. As if that wasn't annoying enough, it can even go for ParaFlinchFusion with Swagger, and even revert those Atk boosts with Topsy-Turvy. Most of the time it can even afford to just spam Iron Head without even bothering with paralysis thanks to its good 272 speed tier, which puts it ahead of things like memomiguel and AlphaNinja's Seviper. Demon Ant can surprisingly also take on a more defensive role with Diamond Storm giving it a guaranteed +2 Defense, allowing it to serve as a check to things like Donkey Kong and FrostieNana's Electivire. Revenge killing it often doesn't go for free either--even if it didn't get any Defense boosts from Diamond Storm, Focus Sash guarantees that it will always live at least one hit if it manages to remain fully healthy, allowing it to paralyze whatever attacked it and then flinch that to death too. Sash+Topsy-Turvy is also a great combination to stop sweepers getting out of hand. Ultimately though, the mon is mostly RNG-reliant, which means that if the user is unlucky they will more likely than not still lose to neutral mons, although the odds are definitely in its favour. It is also fried easily by Fire moves, or any special moves really, which means that revenge killing it is a whole lot easier if its Sash is broken.
