Pokemon Go‘s twelfth season Adventures Abound is currently underway.

How to get Conkeldurr in Pokemon Go

To get Conkeldurr in Pokemon Go, trainers must first get Timburr, then evolve it into Gurdurr, by spending 50 Timburr Candy, then into Conkeldurr by spending 200 Candy.

Is Conkeldurr good in Pokemon Go PvP?

No, Conkeldurr is not good in Pokemon Go PvP, and according to PvPoke rankings, it clocks in at 108 in the Great League ranking. It places 91 in Ultra League and seems to do better in Master League with a placement of 62, inside the top 100 best Pokemon to use.
