Gurdurr

In a tier filled with powerful physical attackers, Gurdurr excels in its ability to tackle on top-tier threats by virtue of its solid typing and bulk. Access to STAB Drain Punch allows Gurdurr to heal itself, and Mach Punch gives it useful priority that makes it one of the best checks to common offensive Normal- and Dark-types such as Kangaskhan and Shiftry. Common Psychic-types are a major issue for Gurdurr, however, as they can take advantage of its low Special Defense. Moreover, Gurdurr's low Speed leaves it reliant on Mach Punch to deal with faster Pokemon, and Gurdurr can be worn down by repeated hits fairly quickly due to its lack of reliable recovery and low Speed.
