PU Gurdurr (QC 1/1) (GP 1/1)

[yogi]

insert gurdurr here, will work on it soon!

Gurdurr @ Eviolite
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 HP / 192 Atk / 64 Def
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Knock Off
- Mach Punch
- Bulk Up

Gurdurr stands as one of PU's premier bulky setup Pokemon, thanks to good defensive stats coupled with both Bulk Up and Eviolite along with semi-reliable recovery in Drain Punch. Thanks to this impressive bulk, Gurdurr is able to become a dangerous cleaner late-game, once checks like Gourgeist-XL and Mesprit have been weakened, or even to punch holes earlier on against more balance-oriented teams. With Guts, Gurdurr is one of few physical Pokemon that deter both the setting of Toxic Spikes and the use of Will-O-Wisp, as it becomes far more threatening once statused. Gurdurr has become such a large threat that Pokemon have adapted movesets to deal with it, like Spiritomb running Psychic. With access to both Mach Punch and Knock Off, Gurdurr is also able to threaten faster Pokemon like Pyroar attempting to revenge kill it or Ghost-types like Oricorio-G from directing switching in. Although it's a powerful sweeper / cleaner in its own right, Gurdurr appreciates wallbreakers like Aurorus and Pyroar to deal with bulky walls like Weezing and Mesprit. Pursuit trappers like Skuntank also take out Ghost-types like Haunter, which cannot be damaged by Mach Punch.

i'd mention something about drain punch making wearing it down a bit more difficult as well as certain physical wallbreakers it can take on in order to better get the point about it being bulky across.

also, if you can, try and squeeze in a mention about pursuit trappers, preferably before the point about special wallbreakers.

1/1. gjob.
