Stats & Training
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.
Conkeldurr Weakness
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.

Conkeldurr Guide
In Sword & Shield, 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. Mach Punch with Flame Orb is the standard set.
In Sword & Shield, 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.
In Sword & Shield, 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.
In Sword & Shield, the 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.
Game Availability
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.
