Strategy Overview

Guzzlord has solidified itself as a fantastic, versatile threat in the NU metagame thanks to its amazing offensive and defensive typing. It has excellent bulk to check a plethora of incredibly menacing, top-tier Pokemon including Rotom-C, Salazzle, and Decidueye. Formidable base Attack, Beast Boost, and a colorful movepool with tons of utility make it an exceptionally capable attacker; STAB Knock Off punishes common switch-ins such as Talonflame and Mudsdale, for example, and Heavy Slam deals heavy damage to Fairy-types such as Sylveon and Diancie. Guzzlord's overall defensive properties give it a lot of opportunities to directly switch in and wallbreak. However, its low base Speed makes it prone to being revenge killed by common wallbreakers such as Sylveon, Tauros, and Toxicroak. Moreover, despite Guzzlord's typing's advantages, it's weak to common moves such as Body Press and U-turn. Furthermore, many of the foes Guzzlord tries to check can pivot out on it, such as Rotom-C and Decidueye, which makes it harder to truly capitalize on its positive matchup against them.
