Trivia

• Gurdurr is similar to Machoke; both are Fighting-type Pokémon with a base stat total of 405 whose final evolution is triggered by trading.
  • However, Gurdurr evolve from Timburr at level 25, while Machoke evolve from Machop at level 28.

Origin

Timburr's Pokédex entry supports that it and its evolutions are based on construction workers. Due to its clown nose and buff body, it may have also been based on a muscleman carnie from a carnival sideshow.

Name origin

Gurdurr seems to simply be a corruption of girder, an iron or steel beam.

Dotekkotsu is derived from 鉄骨, Tekkotsu, steel frame.
