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.
Evolving Timburr is relatively easy, butScarlet/Violetplayers may have some problems getting Gurdurr into Conkeldurr. Trade-evolving has always been a part of thePokemongames, so it’s not surprising to see it carried over throughout the generations. Unfortunately, Gurdurr is just one of the many Pokemon that need to be traded to evolve, creating a potential obstacle forPokemon Scarlet/Violettrainers who are intent on completing the Kitakami Dex.
