Timburr is pretty weak but, fortunately, evolves into a far more formidable Pokemon. Timburr evolves into Gurdurr and, finally, Conkeldurr. Regardless of what Evolution stage your Timburr is at, it remains a Fighting type. Fighting Types are great against Rock, Dark, Ice, and Steel. Fighting Types are also Super Effective against Normal Pokemon and are the only Type with this trait.

The Super effective type makes Conkeldurr an excellent choice to deal with popular Gym defenders like Snorlax and Blissey. With a Fighting type, you should always be wary of Flying, Fairy, and Psychic types.

You can Evolve Gurdurr into Conkeldurr for the whopping price of 200 Timburr Candy. If you’re a solo player and don’t play with friends too often, this may be the best way to get Conkeldurr. However, if you know any Trainers, there’s a much better way.

Gurdurr Evolves into Conkeldurr as part of a ‘Trade Evolution.’ If you trade Gurdurr to a friend, it will immediately evolve as soon as it arrives with its new owner. Just make sure your friend is nice enough to send it back! The best thing about Trade Evolutions is they don’t cost any Candy. You can spend everything you’ve saved on powering up your new Fighting Type.
