Pokémon What Level Does Gurdurr Evolve & 9 Other Things To Know
Those looking for a unique Pokémon might want to look at Gurdurr. Here's how to evolve this creature and other things you need to know about it. Gaining in the world of Pokémon GO lately is the Timburr family — a three-stage line originally introduced in Generation V. But, it doesn't just have immense use in GO. Timburr and its evolutionary relatives, Gurdurr and Conkeldurr, are also good choices for your battle team in as well. One of the many Unova Pokémon to come to Galar, Conkeldurr can easily be found in a few areas of the game. Or, you can evolve a Timburr or Gurdurr . If you're looking to utilize this evolutionary family, here's how you can get your hands on them, how they evolve, and bit of other trivia. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Where to Find
Before you begin evolving a Gurdurr into a Conkeldurr, you'll need to catch one. You can start by catching a Timburr, but Gurdurr is sometimes easier to find. Route 8 has a ton of Gurdurr roaming the overworld, which might be the easiest place to find them. However, they can also be found as random encounters in the Dusty Bowl while it's snowing in both games. In Sword only, Gurdurr can also be a random encounter in the Stony Wilderness during normal weather, thunderstorms, intense sun, or snow. How to Evolve
In order to bring a Timburr all the way up to a Conkeldurr, you'll need to do a few things. First, to level 25 so it evolves into Gurdurr. From here, you'll need to trade Gurdurr to evolve it, and then have that person trade it back to you. However, if you have nobody to trade with (or you're impatient), pretty easily by heading to the Motostoke Riverbank, where it wanders the overworld in most weather types. but it's easy to spot. Concrete
You might have noticed that the entire family line carries around large, heavy objects. Timburr carries logs, Gurdurr carries I-Beams, and Conkeldurr is seen with large concrete blocks. It turns out that these Pokémon might have a more important relationship with concrete than carrying them around to show off their strength. It's believed that Conkeldurr taught humans how to make concrete for the first time. It's also said that Conkeldurr-made concrete is stronger than human-made, even if the same recipe and methods are used. Strength vs Wrestlers
The obvious design concept of Gurdurr and its evolutionary relatives is strength and bulging muscles. But, it turns out these Pokémon are even stronger than your average bulky human. According to several Pokédex entries, Gurdurr are so strong that they can withstand an entire group of human wrestlers. You would want to risk getting on this Pokémon's bad side because you'll apparently need quite the army to stop them in their tracks if you need to. Conkeldurr s Name
You might not look at Conkeldurr's name and be offended, but apparently some could be, at least in theory. In Black & White, there is a handful of Pokémon that must be given a nickname because their English names apparently contain some sort of offensive term that gets them caught in the censor filter on the Global Trade System. Conkeldurr is one of these Pokémon. Some have theorized what the word is, with many thinking it's the first three letters being a bad word in French. But, it's not as clear as some other Pokémon, like Froslass. Ripoff of Machoke
Many people have criticized for Generation V being a seeming "reset" of the franchise, reintroducing many concepts for Pokémon that copied Generation I Pokémon to "redo" them. Whether or not this was intentional could be debated, but there are a clear few examples of Pokémon that some consider "ripoffs" of Gen I counterparts. One of these is the Conkeldurr line, being eerily similar to the Machamp line. It's a three-stage Fighting-type line that must be traded to evolve, with the same base stat total and similar stat distribution. Humiliation
Like many real-life people in the gym, Gurdurr seems to hate humiliation to an embarrassing extent. According to some of its Pokédex entries, Gurdurr loves to show off its muscles to others. In Sword specifically, the Pokédex states that Gurdurr flexes (literally) its muscles to other Gurdurr and even some Machoke. It then says that "if it fails to measure up to the other Pokémon, it lies low for a little while." Roid Rage
The whole Conkeldurr family seems to have some type of roid-rage-like tendencies, actually. Timburr are said to love construction so much that when it rains, they throw "a tantrum" and swing logs around, according to the Pokédex. Gurdurr falls victim to humiliation easily, as mentioned, but they also love destruction. Conkeldurr is said to throw its concrete away and "pummel [opponents] with its fist." One might tell them to take a chill pill, but it not be the wisest move. Signs of Evolving
There are a few Pokémon that are said to show signs of evolving in the in-universe lore that don't actually apply to a player's methods for evolving them, like the well-known where it gets bitten by a Shellder. Timburr is also one of these Pokémon. It's said in the Pokédex that Timburr will be ready to evolve when it starts carrying logs three-times its size. It's also said that they carry larger and larger logs as they grow stronger. They probably start to brag about how much they can bench, too. Thrives on Destruction
The Conkeldurr family are all closely associated with construction. Timburr is seen helping build and is stated to help with construction in the Pokédex. Conkeldurr is known for its ability to mix concrete, and is often seen helping at construction sites. Gurdurr, on the other hand, seems to be the opposite. Gurdurr focuses on demolition, which is an important part of construction of course, but is still a bit different from its evolutionary relatives. The Pokédex states that Gurdurr use steel beams to destroy buildings and that "construction is not its forte," but rather that it "excels at demolition."
