Conkeldurr

Conkeldurr is not a common sight in Battle Spot Singles, but it is still a force to be reckoned with. It's well-known as one of the best users of Assault Vest in the game, thanks to the perfect combination of Drain Punch, a move that recovers Conkeldurr's health without conflicting with Assault Vest's requirements; the increased-priority move Mach Punch, which can be used for revenge killing; Knock Off, a useful coverage option that also removes the foe's item; and its ability Guts, which allows it to switch in on status moves such as Will-O-Wisp, Scald, Thunder Wave, and Toxic for its teammates without any fear of being completely crippled. Unfortunately, while Assault Vest does give Conkeldurr impressive mixed bulk, it is usually overly reliant on Drain Punch to keep itself healthy, and Conkeldurr can find itself taking more damage than it can recover against foes that take little from this attack. On top of this, its power can be somewhat lacking if it's not inflicted with a status or hitting a foe for super effective damage. However, despite these flaws, Conkeldurr is a very useful utility option and a worthy Fighting-type Pokemon to consider to combat the Porygon2, Kangaskhan, and Ferrothorn that run rampant in the format.
