Quick Links Timburr, Gurdurr, and Conkeldurr have arrived inPokemon Scarlet & Violetas a part of the Teal Mask DLC in the new Kitakami area. LikePokemon Sword/Shield, Kitakami opens up a new Pokedex for players to complete, meaning the Timburr-line is going to need to be registered to fill out the pages.
