Strategy Overview
Guts Conkeldurr is one of UU's most devastating wallbreakers. Once burned by Flame Orb, it can evade status from defensive staples like Amoonguss and Chansey. Knock Off and Ice Punch or Facade offer virtually perfect coverage alongside its powerful Drain Punch or Close Combat, allowing it to dismantle defensive cores like Chansey and Quagsire. STAB Mach Punch is also a great tool, functioning as a strong priority attack that can threaten faster Pokemon like Excadrill, Mamoswine, and Hydreigon. Conkeldurr is a bit weighed down by its proneness to being worn down from Flame Orb, however. This is made a larger problem by its poor Speed, which allows the tier's many faster threats like Keldeo and Salamence to overwhelm it, as well as its iffy defensive typing, which doesn't give it many notable resistances and leaves it open to Pokemon like Moltres, Togekiss, Primarina, and Salamence. Moreover, sand chip from Hippowdon wears down Conkeldurr. Conkeldurr also faces competition from Fighting-types like Keldeo, who offers comparable power in addition to greater Speed and an additional Water-typing.
