Conkeldurr Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 B-Tier as a wallbreaker. Drain Punch with Flame Orb is the standard set.
Conkeldurr is obtained by trade-evolving Gurdurr. Catch or evolve a Gurdurr first, then trade. Trade needs a Game Boy Advance link cable and a second GBA running another Gen 3 game (FireRed, LeafGreen, Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald). Trade Gurdurr to a friend, then have them trade it back. The 2026 Switch re-release supports the same trade through local wireless on the Pokemon Center 2F Wireless Club, with no cables required.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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.
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.
