Guzzlord Best Moveset
223 HP is the highest in the game, but 53 in both defenses mean the effective bulk is far lower than the number suggests. Dark/Dragon TermStab at 101 Attack gives the moveset decent physical offense. C-tier because the defensive stats betray the HP and 43 Speed goes last against everything.
223 HP was the highest in the game in Gen VII (Sun & Moon). Dark/Dragon Ultra Beast. Beast Boost raised the highest stat on KO. 53 Speed.

Two gens borderline in Gen VIII (Sword & Shield). 223 HP on 53/53 defenses was less real bulk than it looked. Fairy 4x weakness was the hole.

Guzzlord Weakness
Guzzlord's Dark/Dragon typing leaves it vulnerable to Fairy, Ice, Fighting, Bug, and Dragon. Fairy hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. It shrugs off Psychic-type attacks completely. With 6 resistances, the defensive profile is strong. Guzzlord's overall bulk (223/53/53) lets it take a hit or two from most weaknesses before going down.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Fairy |
| 2x (Weak) | Ice, Fighting, Bug, Dragon |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Water, Electric, Grass, Ghost, Dark |
| 0x (Immune) | Psychic |

How to Evolve
Breeding
Shiny Guzzlord
White Guzzlord is an angelic abomination. Swapping the black-and-yellow for a bright white-and-blue body makes all those jagged teeth and that endless mouth even more unsettling. Total inversion, and it works way better than it has any right to.

Base Stats
Raw HP carries Guzzlord's bulk more than the defenses do. Speed barely registers. But that HP pool covers for it. A tough to catch Junkivore Pokemon that yields 3 HP EVs on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
An unknown life-form called a UB. It may be constantly hungry—it is certainly always devouring something.
