Conkeldurr's all-in on Attack at the expense of Speed. The physical lean is obvious from the bars. Yields 3 Attack EVs and follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
Concrete mixed by Conkeldurr is much more durable than normal concrete, even when the compositions of the two materials are the same.
When going all out, this Pokémon throws aside its concrete pillars and leaps at opponents to pummel them with its fists.
Type-wise, Conkeldurr takes extra damage from Flying, Psychic, and Fairy. Conkeldurr's physical bulk (base 95 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
| Damage | Types |

How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Conkeldurr to get Timburr eggs easily using 70 partners from the Humanshape egg group.
Normal coverage keeps opponents guessing about Conkeldurr's real targets. Flame Orb provides self-burn for Guts activation while max HP and Attack EVs and Adamant nature handle the stat profile. Guts ties it together.

Stall teams hate this. Conkeldurr can spread damage across 10 types, with Normal and Rock punishing common defensive pivots. STAB from Focus Punch and Superpower keeps the pressure honest on everything else.

Breeding's the move. Counter and Defog give Conkeldurr options it can't learn any other way, and coverage across 9 types already covers a decent range on top of Focus Punch and Superpower. The egg moves push it further.

Conkeldurr can't be caught in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Transfer Timburr from Black, Black 2, or Sword and evolve through the 3-stage chain to get it. The step cards below map the full chain.

Conkeldurr's 3-stage chain starts with Timburr, which appears in the wild in the locations below. Level through 3 stages while you find a trade partner. Everything except the trade step is solo.
Don't let Conkeldurr's 505 base stat total fool you. Sheer Force is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it A-Tier as a wallbreaker.
Run Sheer Force on Conkeldurr. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Conkeldurr also gets Guts and Iron Fist, but they don't compare.
Conkeldurr fills the wallbreaker role. It's a physical attacker with base 140 Attack. Base 45 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
Best way to handle Conkeldurr: Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Special attackers bypass its physical bulk.
Introduced in Black & White, Conkeldurr has appeared in 8 games across 6 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
