>UU is suspecting Conkeldurr. Despite its low Speed, Conkeldurr is a behemoth, with decent bulk and an incredible Attack further boosted by Guts Flame Orb. With few viable Ghost-type Pokemon in the tier, Conkeldurr is free to spam the incredibly potent duo of Drain Punch and Facade, which at worst 2HKO the vast majority of the tier. Those few Pokemon that might consider switching into these attacks almost universally fear Knock Off, and with powerful priority to mitigate its poor Speed and the ability to run moves such as Bulk Up to further punch through bulky teams, Conkeldurr has managed to surpass such threats as Primarina and Xurkitree to become the premier wallbreaker in UU.
He was fine in UU last gen. Was the burn nerf (and thus Flame Orb buff) really all it took to push him over the edge?
