[OVERVIEW]
  • Guzzlord's monstrous HP stat and good typing allows it to check some of the most intimidating Pokemon in the NU metagame, such as Rotom-C, Sceptile, Slowbro, Houndoom, and Delphox.
  • While its Special Attack stat is not amazing, it provides it with an offensive presence unrivaled by any other blanket check to special attackers and it is hard to switch into when holding a Choice Specs.
  • Guzzlord has a decent movepool with a variety of coverage options.
  • However, Guzzlord is easily taken advantage of by the plethora of common Fighting-types in the tier, such as Machamp, Emboar, and Virizion, as well as other powerful physical attackers. Even slower wallbreakers can exploit it due to its abyssmal Speed stat.
  • Finally, it lacks reliable recovery and is vulnerable to both Stealth Rock and Spikes, leaving it worn down easily throughout a game.

Moves
========
  • Draco Meteor is Guzzlord's most powerful STAB move; while it is not spammable, it hits much of the tier for neutral damage.
  • Dark Pulse is a more reliable STAB move which helps it actually check Pokemon like Slowbro that it is supposed to check.
  • Sludge Bomb is necessary to 2HKO Fairy-types like Aromatisse and Mega Audino which resist its STAB moves.
  • Fire Blast
  • Flamethrower
