Gurdurr

Muscular Pokémon ^#533

It shows off its muscles to Machoke and other Gurdurr. If it fails to measure up to the other Pokémon, it lies low for a little while.

Gurdurr excels at demolition—construction is not its forte. In any case, there’s skill in the way this Pokémon wields its metal beam.

- Guts
  Whenever this Pokémon is asleep, burned, paralyzed, or poisoned, it has 1.5× its Attack. This Pokémon is not affected by the usual Attack cut from a burn. This bonus does not count as a stat modifier.
- Sheer-Force
  This Pokémon's moves with extra effects have 1.3× their power, but lose their extra effects. An effect chance is a move's chance to inflict a status ailment, cause a stat change, or make the target flinch in addition to the move's main effect. For example, thunder shock's paralysis is an extra effect, but thunder wave's is not, nor are knock off's item removal and air cutter's increased critical hit rate. Moves that lower the user's stats are unaffected.

- Iron-Fist
  Moves flagged as being punch-based have 1.2× their base power for this Pokémon. sucker punch is not flagged as punch-based; its original, Japanese name only means "surprise attack".
