What it does on the ladder
Conkeldurr appears on 0.22% of Regulation M-B teams, which
is 136th of the 277 Pokémon with enough games to measure.
The move it almost always carries is Drain Punch, on 88.4% of sets.
The item is usually Life Orb at 84.3%.
The ability is split: Iron Fist on 86.7%, Sheer Force on 7.5% and Guts on 5.8%.
Those are Smogon's published usage figures, not anything measured here, and they describe what
the ladder plays rather than what is strongest. The full set is in the panel above.
The Pokémon itself
Conkeldurr is number 534 in the National Dex, a Unova Pokémon, Fighting
with a base stat total of 505 — 110th of the 234 Pokémon
legal in this regulation. Its best stat is Attack at 140, 2nd
in the format; its weakest is Speed at 45, 202nd.
It can have Guts, Sheer Force and Iron Fist.
The Champions module tiers it UU.
It sits in a 3-stage line: Timburr → Gurdurr → Conkeldurr.
Not all of that line is legal in this regulation — Timburr and Gurdurr are not.
What gets through
As Fighting, 3 of the eighteen attacking types do extra damage to it. It
resists 3. The board above
has all of it. 4 other legal Pokémon share the same typing and the same board: Machamp, Passimian, Falinks, Tauros-Paldea-Combat.
What threatens it
Smogon publishes no head-to-head checks-and-counters data for doubles formats, so this list is
computed, not measured: the most-played Regulation M-B Pokémon carrying a damaging
move of a type Conkeldurr takes extra damage from.
- Whimsicott — Moonblast (Fairy, ×2), on 96.7% of its sets
- Farigiraf — Psychic (Psychic, ×2), on 72.4% of its sets
- Floette-Mega — Dazzling Gleam (Fairy, ×2), on 97.8% of its sets
- Staraptor-Mega — Brave Bird (Flying, ×2), on 66.2% of its sets
- Delphox-Mega — Psychic (Psychic, ×2), on 51.3% of its sets
- Pelipper — Hurricane (Flying, ×2), on 99% of its sets
Speed and weight
At level 50 with a boosting nature and full investment, Conkeldurr reaches
106 Speed; left uninvested with a neutral nature it sits at
65. Invested, it outruns 0 of the 20
most-used Pokémon in the regulation when they are invested too — which is the comparison that
decides who moves first.
It weighs 87 kg, so Grass Knot and Low Kick hit it for 80 base
power. That is a real consideration in a format where both are common.
Its move pool
Conkeldurr learns 86 moves in the Champions data.
52 of them do damage, across 9 of the eighteen
types, and 15 share a type with it and so get the same-type bonus.
Its hardest-hitting same-type move is Focus Punch at 150 base power.
It also has priority: Upper Hand at +3 and Mach Punch at +1.
That pool is what the team builder reads from when you seat it, and the
damage calculator will take it as the attacker with
the form already chosen.
