Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Gurdurr is the Muscular Pokémon — Fighting middle stage between Timburr and Conkeldurr (trade evolve). In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Conkeldurr — not a finished raid attacker. Fighting helps against Normal, Rock, Steel, Ice, and Dark; Flying, Psychic, and Fairy hit Fighting hard. Evolve Timburr, then trade-evolve to Conkeldurr. Dynamic Punch from Timburr Community Day belongs on Conkeldurr.

Gurdurr (#533) is a Fighting Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the middle evolution of Timburr. Trainers almost never power Gurdurr for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Conkeldurr (and Dynamic Punch). Against Gurdurr, lead with Flying, Psychic, or Fairy. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
