How to play

Flame Orb can activate Guts by burning Conkeldurr at the end of the turn. Drain Punch restores some HP while Mach Punch provides priority against an eligible weakened target.

Watch out for

Key risk. Burn still causes chip damage. Guts prevents the usual burn reduction to physical damage but does not remove all status effects. Flying, Psychic and Fairy attacks are super effective; Ghost targets ignore both Fighting moves and Facade.

About this example

This editorial starting point is not a ranked-format recommendation or a legality check. It does not specify EVs or Tera type. Moves, items and abilities here do not change the builder score.

BATTLE PLAN

When to attack, set up or switch

Flame Orb can activate Guts by burning Conkeldurr at the end of the turn. Drain Punch restores some HP while Mach Punch provides priority against an eligible weakened target.

A Ghost is the only thing in front of you

Fighting and Normal moves both do nothing to it, so Knock Off is the only damaging option on the set, and Dark hits a Ghost target for 2×.

You want the priority close

Mach Punch moves first and does not guarantee the knockout, and the Guts boost cannot change an immunity — it only changes how much a move that does connect hurts.

A faster special attacker switches in

Fairy, Flying and Psychic each deal 2× to Conkeldurr, and its low Speed means they usually arrive first. Facade is the payoff, but the turn to click it has to be won before that happens.

What does a safe pivot mean?

A teammate uses a switching move to bring Conkeldurr in. A slower pivot may take the opponent’s hit first. Turn order and the opponent’s move still matter.

ITEM & ABILITY

How this build works

Guts raises Attack while Conkeldurr is burned and cancels the burn’s usual penalty on physical damage, so the Flame Orb is the engine of the set, not an accident — the HP drain keeps running regardless. Ghost targets ignore Drain Punch, Mach Punch and Facade alike.

Watch the tradeoff. Burn still causes chip damage. Guts prevents the usual burn reduction to physical damage but does not remove all status effects. Flying, Psychic and Fairy attacks are super effective; Ghost targets ignore both Fighting moves and Facade.

These battle mechanics do not change the builder’s type-and-base-stat score. The tool does not simulate moves, abilities, held items or damage.

COMPARE YOUR OPTIONS

Conkeldurr or Heracross?

Heracross offers Bug attacks and more Speed with Guts, but has a four-times Flying weakness.

How is the score calculated?

Offense (25%): neutral-or-better type coverage and strongest attacking base stats. Defense (30%): team resistances, unprotected and repeated weaknesses, and 4× vulnerabilities. Coverage (25%): fraction of 18 single-type targets hit super effectively by your own types. Synergy (20%): teammates resisting each other’s weaknesses, physical/special/bulk stat signals and base Speed ≥100. Scores are rounded to 0–100; the total uses the displayed subscores.

Rating bands: Excellent ≥80, Good ≥65, Fair ≥45, Poor below 45. An empty team has no rating.

Small teams are provisional and are not given a separate completion bonus. Adding a Pokémon can lower the score if it creates new weaknesses or lowers averages. These initial heuristics have not been calibrated against battle outcomes.
