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.

USUM Guzzlord Best Moveset

223 HP is the second-highest in the format with AbilityBeast Boost and Dark/Dragon TermStab from 101/97 mixed offenses. But 53/53 defenses make the HP less effective and 43 Speed acts dead last. 4x Fairy weakness through both types. The moveset holds C-tier through enormous HP undermined by defenses and Fairy vulnerability.

Breadth over depth defines this movepool. Guzzlord won't stack one type's damage ceiling, but coverage across 10 types means it always has an effective option. Draco Meteor and Outrage anchor the STAB core.

Pokedex Entry

Although it’s alien to this world and a danger here, it’s apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives.

An unknown life-form called a UB. It may be constantly hungry—it is certainly always devouring something.

Guzzlord Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide

  • For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, we rate Guzzlord B-Tier: a solid option in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon for the right team. At 570 BST, it fits the tank role. Dark Pulse with Leftovers is the standard set.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, watch for Mimikyu (Fairy), Kyurem (Ice), and Machamp (Fighting) when using Guzzlord. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Mimikyu is the most dangerous since Fairy moves deal 4x damage. Bug and Dragon-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter. Guzzlord has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.

  • Guzzlord is a static encounter at Alola Ultra Space in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Guzzlord appears at level 60. Prerequisite: LIMITED. Save before the encounter. These one-shot Pokemon don't respawn if you knock them out or run out of Poke Balls.

  • Beast Boost raises this Pokémon's highest stat by one stage when it faints another Pokémon. That's the one you want on Guzzlord. It's the only ability Guzzlord has.

  • Base 43 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Guzzlord is a mixed attacker with base 101 Attack and 97 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits. Best used as a tank.

Game Availability

Guzzlord joined the series in Sun & Moon and has been available in 3 titles so far. With 4 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
