Strategy Overview

Guzzlord is a solid Pokemon in RU, with its enormous bulk and defensive typing letting it check various common Pokemon like Celebi, Chandelure, Heliolisk, and Raikou. It's pretty good at taking even powerful special attacks, like Sludge Bomb from offensive Roserade and Ice Beam from Nidoqueen and wallbreaker Starmie. Knock Off has great utility, removing Heavy-Duty Boots or Leftovers from Pokemon like Milotic and Gastrodon. Offensive Guzzlord also has Heavy Slam, Earthquake, and Toxic for the Fairy-type, Steel-type, and bulky Pokemon that can take Knock Off. Guzzlord can also run a good RestTalk set that has better longevity and withstands Toxic users such as Raikou and Milotic. However, RestTalk Guzzlord is more passive, notably becoming setup bait for one of the tier's best Pokemon in Nasty Plot Togekiss. Guzzlord is destroyed by common Fighting-types such as Bewear, Heracross, and Lucario. Additionally, despite being Dark-type, it's potentially a liability against Psychic-type setup sweepers like Reuniclus, Cosmic Power Metagross, and Psycho Shift Sigilyph. All can take Knock Off, heal off the damage, and set up. RestTalk Guzzlord does beat Psycho Shift Sigilyph, but Metagross and Reuniclus can take advantage of a sleeping Guzzlord, as it'll need to get lucky with Sleep Talk rolling Dragon Tail to phaze them without taking significant damage.
