Stats & Training
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.
It has gobbled mountains and swallowed whole buildings, according to reports. It’s one of the Ultra Beasts.
A dangerous Ultra Beast, it appears to be eating constantly, but for some reason its droppings have never been found.
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.

Sun & Moon Guzzlord Best Moveset
Beastboost helps Guzzlord stick around while dealing real damage. Leftovers for passive recovery each turn, max HP and Attack EVs for the right balance, and Dark Pulse as the main threat. Not the fastest, but it doesn't need to be.

Moves
Leveling does the heavy lifting. Guzzlord picks up Belch and Iron Tail along the way, building toward a complete offensive set. TMs add coverage across 9 types, but the foundation's already strong by then.

Best Locations to Catch Guzzlord in Sun & Moon
Guzzlord Guide
For Sun & Moon, we rate Guzzlord C-Tier: a niche pick in Sun & Moon's meta. At 570 BST, it fits the tank role. Dark Pulse with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Sun & 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.
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 physical attacker with base 101 Attack. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits. Best used as a tank.
For Sun & Moon, Guzzlord has answers, but so do you. Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Special attackers bypass its physical bulk.
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.
