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.
