Gurdurr Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
At 405 BST, Gurdurr is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Conkeldurr before bringing it to any serious fight.
No. Gurdurr only evolves into Conkeldurr through a real trade. There is no in-game alternative in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. 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.
Gurdurr gets Sheer Force, Guts, and Iron Fist. But Sheer Force is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Gurdurr is a physical attacker with base 105 Attack. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 40 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the attacker role.
Game Availability
Since Black & White, Gurdurr has been obtainable in 8 games. A Generation 5 debut means a shorter history, but Gurdurr has appeared steadily across every generation since.
