Question

He seems better than machamp.

Dex: http://pokemondb.net/pokedex/conkeldurr

Comments

Machamp still has no Guard though.

---

Still he has brute force  which makes up for it a little

---

Not really. Non of his most powerful moves are reliable enough to fight back.

---

Likely ter: Underused

---

LOL we thought he would be UU back then XD

Answer 1

Let's try this:

Mach Punch/ Superpower-STAB, he's gonna switch a lot anyway. Mach punch gives some bone breaking priority.

Stone edge-Has a high critical hit chance, but the boosted power makes up for that, covers flying weakness.

Earthquake-Covers many types, good power, you know.

Payback-Payback for psychic coverage, force palm if you want to try to paralyze the foe and outspeed them, or scary face to outspeed the foe and force a switch on them, though I feel as if you're better off switching to a different pokemon if a psychic type is out, I guess it depends on the popularity of Psyshock.

a even better set

adament/careful 252 atk 232 hp 24 sp.def nature. guts/iron fist,
item leftovers

mach punch (STAB priority)

payback (good agansist psychic type's)

drain punch (STAB heals up conkeldurr)

bulk up (increase's atk plus defense and is very helpful if ur specially bulky u can wall ur oponents team and sweep slowly but surely)

Answer 2

An interesting Pokemon, with that Iron Fist ability and all. However, without the good move tutors, Guts is more useful

Ability: Guts

EVs: HP, Attack, Defense Nature: Adament

Facade: If you ever get a status condition, you get a big power boost. No Toxic Orb because that is too risky.

Drain Punch: Now does equal damage to Brick Break, but heals. Also with 10PP now. STAb=Great.

Stone Edge: Bye bye birdies.

Bulk Up: Physical power.

Answer 3

Conkeldurr is by far my favorite fighting pokemon, mine is names "Juggalo" and i run with this set

Conkeldurr @ leftlovers
Ability : Guts

• Mach Punch ( get some priotrity, finish weak foes and give the last bit of damage)
• Drain Punch ( recovery + leftlovers = ☺ )
• Payback ( to get rid of that pesy ghosts )
• Bulk up ( Setup )

The plan with this is sending out conkeldurr when the opponent is a physical attacker, then just bulk up 1 or 2 times ( 2 on bulky foes ) then drain punching

Comments

leftlovers? XD

---

for extra healing

---

I like heracross better

Answer 4

EV train attack and hp

Drain Punch(stab good for pokemon with high hp)

Earthquake(very good)

stone edge(covers flying)

Payback(covers psychic types, works well with brute force plus he has low speed so most of the time he will hit last)

Nature: Brave( works well with payback thus making speed 85)

Answer 5

Conkeldurr of DEATH@Guts

Item: Flame orb

Nature: Adamant

Evs: 252 attack, 100 S.def, 258 hp

---

Drain punch: Strong Stab as well as healing from the burn

Earthquake: Coverage

Stone edge: Coverage

Mach punch: Kills fast pokemon

Comments

I know Guts is suppose to increase your attack stats but if a pokemon is burnt doesn't that lower it's attack by one stage?

---

a pokemon with guts doesn't get its attack down when it's burnt

---

The Attack drop does not occur on Pokemon with Guts, they still get the Attack boost.

Answer 6

Conkeldurr @ Leftovers

Trait: Guts

EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SDef

Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)

• Mach Punch
• Drain Punch
• Bulk Up
• Payback

This set has no item to boost guts, but with this nice bulk toxic is an effective way to take him down but he gets a boost from it.
i choose leftovers over big root so you constantly get a little healing.

Max HP and max Special defense allows him to take special hits well, and the defense will be boosted.
Bulk Up Boosts his attack and defense by 50% each, i mean you don't really have to set up much, i would however suggest at least 2 times, but you can set up until you see his health is starting to fall from you opponents attacks.
now with max HP and max sp.def, in addition bulk up his very bulky and yet powerful.
Start Drain Punching to get your health back, STAB.
Mach Punch is nice STAB priority to have.
Payback is there to hit Ghosts wich are immune and takes zero damage from his fighting type moves whatsoever.

But this is my same moveset D:

Answer 7

Ability: Guts
Item Burn Orb

Facade-boosted by facade's ability and by guts. This thing is scary

Earthquake/Bulk up-Basic Type coverage, or boost stats even more.

Stone Edge-More type coverage.

Mach Punch-STAB.

Answer 8

Conkeldurr (M) @ Flame Orb
Trait: Guts
EVs: 20 HP / 252 Atk / 96 Def / 140 SDef
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Drain Punch
- Mach Punch
- Bulk Up
- Payback

Answer 9

Hackeldurr (Conkeldurr) (M) @ King's Rock

Role: Haxy Trick Room Sweeper

Trait: Guts

EVs: 252 Atk / 8 Def / 248 SDef

Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)

• Force Palm
• Earthquake
• Rock Slide
• Bulk Up

---

Trick Room sweeper here.
Brave nature and just to note, I drained his speed Iv's out, for that extra T-room sweeping action.
Now for the haxy part, Force Palm has a 30% chance to paralyze, and with T-room he can hit first to inflict this. The key is, for Conkeldurr to be used near the end of your T-room time. Because when Trick Room's time runs out, your opponent is still slower because of Para-Hax, King's Rock is banned from Competitive Play Meaning if you're just battling for fun, it's fair game. Earthquake is that great coverage that everyone loves, while Rock Slide also provides some fun flinch hax, Bulk up can set up quickly to survive better once trick room dies out, because after you KO your paralyzed opponent, there's gonna be someone else coming in after him, setting up a Bulk up or 2 can help you handle whatever comes next a little bit better.

Answer 10

Gurdurr (M) @ Eviolite

Trait: Iron Fist

EVs: 4 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SDef

Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)

• Drain Punch
• Mach Punch
• Stone Edge
• Bulk Up

Answer 11

Conkeldurr (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Focus Punch
- Drain Punch
- Stone Edge

Physical tank and sub-puncher.

The EVs make him bulky enough to take physical attacks while he sets up his sub. Then he can throw out STAB + Iron Fist Focus and Drain punches out.

Stone Edge is coverage mostly for ghosts like Gengar and Chandelure.

Answer 12

Unleash the destruction...

Ability: Iron Fist/Sheer Force

Nature: Adamant

EVs: 252 HP, 252 Att, 4 SpD

Item: Life Orb

Even though Conkeldurr's Iron Fist ability isn't released yet, I though I put together a moveset which could take full advantage of it and also it's other ability Sheer Force now that move tutors have been released.

Drain Punch: Very helpful move on a bulky attacker like Conkeldurr, helps recover any health lost and does massive damage with the Iron Fist ability.

Ice Punch: Helps to deal with those ever common Dragon types, makes Gliscor, Dragonite and Landorus think twice about coming in. Both abilities give it a nice boost in power.

Fire Punch: Helps to deal with the likes of Skarmory, Jirachi and other Steel types that are hit neutrally by Drain Punch. Skarmory in particular plays a dangerous game in when to use Roost or not. Once again a nice boost in power by both abilities.

Thunder Punch/Payback/Stone Edge/Rock Slide: Thunder Punch is great with dealing with bulky Water types such as Jellicent and Gyarados and get a power boost by both abilities. Payback is for if you don't won't to struggle against Ghost types, however it won't be doing much to bulky Ghost types like a Bulk Up set abusing Guts. Stone Edge is there if you got options dealing with Ghost types and bulky Water types. Same with Rock Slide but it gets a power boost from Sheer Force and is more reliable than Stone Edge.

Answer 13

How about this gutsy Conkeldurr of mine?

-Hammer Arm- STAB, lowers speed, helps with Payback
-Payback- Lower Speed doubles this move's Base Power, coverage against Psychic and Ghost types
-Earthquake- Coverage
-Stone Edge- Coverage against those Flying Types

Answer 14

Conkeldurr - Flame Orb

EVs: 252 atk, 252 HP, 4 def
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Guts
Moves:
Thunder Punch
Ice Punch
Drain Punch
Mach Punch

Conkeldurr is definitely a slow pokemon, but a bulky one too, with his 105 base HP and 95 base defense. Guts lets him hit like a truck, and Adamant nature only adds to the punishment taken by the foe. Mach Punch Is STAB priority, and lets him get around embarrassing base 45 speed stat. Drain Punch is also STAB, and also provides a means of recovering some of that monstrous HP stat. Thunder Punch and Ice Punch make a sort of physical BoltBeam combo, making this set resisted by very few pokemon.

Answer 15

Conkeldurr (M) @ Flame Orb

Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Atk
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Ice Punch
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

Definitely bulky enough to run a sleep talk set. Drain Punch > Mach Punch on this set because when you use Sleep Talk the priority of the move doesn't matter. Ice Punch is nice coverage against Flying Types. Rest for when HP gets low, and Sleep Talk to keep the ability to attack.
