Strategy Overview

Boasting good bulk with an Eviolite, Gurdurr has the ability to take on many of the top threats in RU. With a great boosting option in Bulk Up, it has the power to become a heavy-hitting tank, with access to recovery in the form of Drain Punch. Its movepool also gives it access to Mach Punch, a great priority move that means Gurdurr is not hampered by its low Speed. Knock Off allows Gurdurr to hit most of the tier for neutral damage, aside from Fairy-types. Gurdurr also is less vulnerable to status with Guts, which raises Gurdurr's Attack, allowing it to recover more HP with Drain Punch. However, even with Eviolite, Gurdurr's Special Defense stat is still very low, and most super effective, or even neutral, special attacks have the power to KO it. It is also very reliant on its Eviolite to set up Bulk Up, and therefore Knock Off severely cripples it, lowering both of its defenses.
