This is a easy one. Durant has higher stats and deals super effective stab.

lol someone picked grotle. How?
Like literally it can't do anything to it, the move pool of grotle is so narrow literally the only way it can do damage is by bite or crunch and durant has fairly high defense. Durant takes 1/4 damage from grass and 1/2 damage from normal. It's even immune to poison so grotle can't try to stall with toxic and leech seed. I can't see any scenario where grotle wins. ...

Not to mention Durant's base speed means Grotle is just going to sit there and take a OHKO --- Why didn't you DODGE‽‽‽ Quoting me will trigger the profanity filter, Not Joking. ...

lol someone picked grotle. How?While I didn't vote for Grotle, I do like playing Devil's Advocate to see both sides of the coin. Grotle, like every other Pokemon, has access to Hidden Power which can be Fire. Also that Durant has Hustle as it's ability so Durant only has an 80% chance to hit with X-Scissor. Grotle also only has a ~20% chance to get OHKO'd by X-Scissor if it has full Defense and HP EVs, Bold nature and Eviolite and Durant has Hustle and Choice Band meaning that Grotle has a decent chance to live for 2 turns which it needs to be able to KO Durant with Hidden Power. That being said, Durant can always run Swarm instead of Hustle and to be guaranteed a 2HKO and not have to worry about Hustle's accuracy drop. Also while Durant can get First Impression which would ups it's chance of a OHKO to ~80%, Grotle can just use Protect on it's first turn and First Impression becomes useless. --- "Fungah!"

While I didn't vote for Grotle, I do like playing Devil's Advocate to see both sides of the coin. Depending on the generation, Hidden Power is either useless or not powerful enough to OHKO, (Hidden Power cannot be used in Gen VIII could vary in power from 30 to 70 up to Gen V and was set to 60 from Gen VI on) Grotle could use Protect to delay a turn, but with those speed stats would still have to be able to tank two super effective STAB attacks to get a chance to hit twice, and would need to KO on the second hit. Grotle is my boy, but is nothing more then a quick meal to Durant. --- Why didn't you DODGE‽‽‽ Quoting me will trigger the profanity filter, Not Joking. ... Copied to Clipboard!

While I didn't vote for Grotle, I do like playing Devil's Advocate to see both sides of the coin. Straight up getting into super advanced stuff like evs and all that way beyond anything I'm into. So the best I can do here is just in my mind imagine "sure there are scenarios where it can win, but in 99% of other scenarios it loses" Like if you gave 2 ai trainers the pokemon and had them battle I'm confident in saying Durant wins every time unless it somehow just spams non damaging moves. ...

its stats suck, its movepool is limited The only place where Grotle beats out Durant on stats is in Sp Atk and Sp Def and only just; so by your metric Grotle is even worse the Durant.

So at this point it's obvious it isn't about who would win but just a popularity contest yea? The result here is just objectively wrong if it's about who would win a battle.
