Timburr is a fearsome Fighting type Pokemon with several evolutions. While Timburr isn’t too remarkable in PvP or PvE, its final Evolution, Conkeldurr, is a fine choice for PvE content like Gyms and battling Team Rocket. Many Trainers have amassed a great deal of Timburr Candy as the Pokemon had a Community Day in October 2023. Even if you didn’t participate in the Event, you can find Timburr all over the place. There are a couple of evolution quirks to consider, so let me show you how to evolve Timburr in Pokemon GO the right way.

Timburr is pretty weak but, fortunately, evolves into a far more formidable Pokemon. Timburr evolves into Gurdurr and, finally, Conkeldurr. Regardless of what Evolution stage your Timburr is at, it remains a Fighting type. Fighting Types are great against Rock, Dark, Ice, and Steel. Fighting Types are also Super Effective against Normal Pokemon and are the only Type with this trait.
The Super effective type makes Conkeldurr an excellent choice to deal with popular Gym defenders like Snorlax and Blissey. With a Fighting type, you should always be wary of Flying, Fairy, and Psychic types.

You can Evolve Gurdurr into Conkeldurr for the whopping price of 200 Timburr Candy. If you’re a solo player and don’t play with friends too often, this may be the best way to get Conkeldurr. However, if you know any Trainers, there’s a much better way.
Gurdurr Evolves into Conkeldurr as part of a ‘Trade Evolution.’ If you trade Gurdurr to a friend, it will immediately evolve as soon as it arrives with its new owner. Just make sure your friend is nice enough to send it back! The best thing about Trade Evolutions is they don’t cost any Candy. You can spend everything you’ve saved on powering up your new Fighting Type.
Can Timburr be Shiny?
Timburr and all of its Evolutions can be Shiny. Timburr had a boosted Shiny Rate during its Community Day. If you missed your chance, don’t despair, as you can still catch one in the wild, although the odds are much lower. If you Evolve a Shiny Pokemon, its new form will retain the Shiny status.
