Guzzlord @ Choice Specs
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 SpA / 196 SpD / 60 Spe
Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Dark Pulse
- Fire Blast
- Sludge Wave
Guzzlord has all the tools it needs to be a devastating wallbreaker in NU between its great offensive typing, coverage, and power. Its nifty typing and massive HP stat allow it to take advantage of Pokemon like Slowbro, Rotom, and Slowking, giving it more opportunities to switch in and deal damage. Draco Meteor inflicts serious damage on anything that doesn't resist it, which is part of the reason why Guzzlord is such an effective wallbreaker. Guzzlord's coverage moves come in handy against Pokemon that can take Draco Meteor, as Steel-types like Steelix and Klinklang are roasted by Fire Blast and Fairy-types like Aromatisse and Whimsicott fall to Sludge Wave. A way of making Guzzlord even more deadly is to pair it with entry hazard setters like Garbodor, Rhydon, and Gigalith so that it's even harder to wall, as Pokemon like Diancie, Type: Null, and Aromatisse struggle to deal with it after chip damage. While Guzzlord does struggle with Fairy-types like Diancie and Whimsicott, teammates such as Klinklang and Steelix can deal with these threats. It also struggles against Fighting-types, so Slowbro, Slowking, and Whimsicott can patch this weakness up.
