Gurdurr Weakness

Flying and Psychic moves hit Gurdurr for super-effective damage. Not many exploitable gaps in the Fighting typing defensive chart. Gurdurr's physical bulk (base 85 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

    or evolve from Timburr (Step 1)

Gurdurr Guide

  • At 405 BST, Gurdurr is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Conkeldurr before bringing it to any serious fight.

  • In Black 2 & White 2, watch for Staraptor (Flying) and Reuniclus (Psychic) when using Gurdurr. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. At base 40 Speed, Gurdurr won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

  • In Black 2 & White 2, Timburr evolves into Gurdurr at level 25. Gurdurr evolves into Conkeldurr by trading. Gurdurr is a middle-stage evolution in the Timburr line.

  • 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.
