Guzzlord's gargantuan gob gnaws on PU's grubs galore! Being one of the tier's most recent drops, Guzzlord's voracious appetite turns it into arguably the metagame's most ferocious wallbreaker. With STAB Knock Off to cripple the few reliable checks it has like Sandaconda, Quagsire, and Weezing, its mouthful of coverage helps in dealing with other ones looking to halt its rampage; Heavy Slam dissuades Fairy-types like Ribombee, Silvally-Fairy, and Whimsicott from switching in, and Earthquake cracks open Aggron, Gigalith, and Regirock. Aside from feasting on tier staples Charizard and Jellicent, Guzzlord has an impressive defensive profile—something that wallbreakers of its caliber rarely possess—that lets it withstand their attacks comfortably before retaliating in return. It appreciates U-turn support from Ribombee, which can also sweep late-game once Guzzlord has overwhelmed their shared checks in Ferroseed and Weezing. Ferroseed and Sandslash set up entry hazards to punish Guzzlord's forced switches, especially with its propensity to remove foe's Heavy-Duty Boots.
