Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Gurdurr's spread. It leans physical with Attack out front. And you'll get 2 Attack EVs per KO for it. Follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
It shows off its muscles to Machoke and other Gurdurr. If it fails to measure up to the other Pokémon, it lies low for a little while.
Gurdurr excels at demolition—construction is not its forte. In any case, there’s skill in the way this Pokémon wields its metal beam.
Gurdurr Weakness
Flying, Psychic, and Fairy moves hit Gurdurr for super-effective damage. Gurdurr's physical bulk (base 85 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
