Time's up on Croagunk this week! No one hit the ladder peak, but now that the ladder is messed up, it doesn't look like the ladder challenge will happen this week. However, next week, once the ladder is reset, you will be credited for making the top 3 with either next week's Pokemon of the Week, or this week's featured Pokemon. Yes, it's another Fighting-type, but since there are so many that Mienfoo overshadows, we gotta give them their share of the sun somewhere! Timburr finds itself as Pokemon of the Week this week!

Timburr
Fighting-type
75 HP / 80 Atk / 55 Def / 25 SAtk / 35 SpD / 35 Spe
Abilities: Guts / Sheer Force / Iron Fist

Timburr's Bulk Up set is well known for being very good, but many think that is all it can do. However, its movepool is relatively unexplored, with possible gems such as Knock Off, Facade, Superpower, and even Rain Dance, Sunny Day, and Taunt, which are gifts to other Pokemon but see no use on Timburr. Is Timburr's Bulk Up set too good to use anything else, or could some of these unheard of moves make a new popular set? Let's find out this week!

Edit: Iron Fist is now legal, so once PS updates its tiers to reflect this, try it out!
