Special abilities
Behavior
Timburr have been seen helping construction workers. When it can easily lift a heavy block of timber, it is close to evolving.
Timburr is similar to Machop; both are Fighting-type Pokémon with a base stat total of 305, are the most commonly associated Pokémon with construction sites in their respective regions, and reach their first evolution by level and have their final evolution triggered by trading.
However, Timburr evolves into Gurdurr at level 25, while Machop evolves into Machoke at level 28.
Origin
Timburr's Pokédex entry supports that it and its evolutions are based on construction workers. Due to its clown nose, it may have also been based on a carnie.
Name origin
Timburr is most likely a corruption of the word timber, in reference to the object which it can be seen holding. The name may also recall the way many woodcutters shout "Timber!" when a tree that they cut falls.
Dokkorā seems to be derived from the Greek word "Δοκάρι" Dokari, meaning timber.
