Gen 5 Conkeldurr

[Gamer1234556]

[OVERVIEW]
If you are looking for a strong Fighting-type to use, then Conkeldurr should not be your choice. While 140 Base Attack and solid coverage may sound appealing, it ultimately struggles. It's very slow and reliant on Mach Punch to move first, which is often taken advantage of by faster attackers such as Latios, Dragonite, Reuniclus, Alakazam, Keldeo, and Thundurus-T. It's also very prediction reliant and is vulnerable to residual damage from sand and entry hazards. It strong competition for a Fighting-type attacker from Keldeo, Breloom, and Terrakion, as they all have better offensive and defensive utility. Keldeo is much faster and stronger in rain, can better answer Fire-types like Heatran and Volcarona, can fit on more team styles, and offers better set versatility. Breloom has better longevity from Poison Heal while also being able to absorb status, making it a better fixture on both sand and rain teams. Finally, Terrakion's additional Rock-typing means that it has better STAB coverage with Stone Edge and is not only able to stay healthy under sand, but it also gets a Special Defense boost under it, meaning it can survive attacks such as Latios's Draco Meteor and Alakazam's Psychic.
