Upon initial release, Conkeldurr was set to be crowned as the best Fighting-type attacker in the game. However, Lucario had other plans. Despite having additional weaknesses due to its Fighting and Steel elemental typings, Aura Sphere Lucario denied the throne to Conkeldurr.

The latter gets overshadowed by Shadow Machamp as well. However, Conkeldurr is still a decent Fighting type beast. It will definitely be easy to build one for your needs, now that Timburr is going to be featured in a Community Day event.

As mentioned earlier, Conkeldurr feels rather underwhelming when put next to other Fighting-type titans like Lucario and Shadow Machamp. If you need Fighting-type coverage in your team, it would be better to use one of the latter.

That said, Conkeldurr is by no means a pushover. If you want to put it in a team, it will deliver decent performance, although not as good as Lucario or Shadow Machamp.
