Guzzlord @ Assault Vest
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 196 Atk / 252 SpD / 60 Spe
Careful Nature
- Knock Off
- Heavy Slam
- Drain Punch
- Dragon Tail / Draco Meteor

Feeling hungry for a bit of PU? Thanks to Guzzlord's massive HP stat and solid defensive typing, it is able to function as one of the few blanket special checks in the tier and a viable Fire- and Electric-resistant Pokemon. Guzzlord's solid Attack stat and STAB Knock Off make it a threatening Pokemon to switch into. Its bulk is also useful for living even super effective hits such as Whimsicott's Moonblast. Heavy Slam hits Fairy-types such as Silvally-Fairy. Drain Punch hits standard Knock Off switch-ins like Silvally-Steel. Dragon Tail is useful for racking up hazards damage and phazing out setup sweepers such as Xatu, while Draco Meteor hits physical walls such as Regirock and Sandaconda harder than anything else. The Speed EVs let it outspeed Regirock and Druddigon, while the rest is dumped into Attack to hit harder. Entry hazards setters such as Garbodor allow Guzzlord to constantly chip its switch-ins with Dragon Tail after removing Heavy-Duty Boots. Fighting-resistant Pokemon like Aromatisse and Weezing can also switch into Fighting-types that threaten Guzzlord out, like Passimian, with Aromatisse also providing Wish and cleric support.

Feeling hungry for a bit of PU? Thanks to Guzzlord's massive HP stat and solid defensive typing, it is able to function as one of the few blanket special checks in the tier as well as a viable Fire and Ghost I think using electric > ghost resist. Guzzlord's solid Atk stat and STAB Knock Off make it a threatening Pokemon to switch into, as Dark resists such as Aromatisse hate losing their item i mean I guess? i think you should just include smth on knock off general utility since u already specify dark resist later would prefer if there was a statement on its raw bulk letting it live stuff like moonblast from whimsi and retaliate. Colorful coverage options in Heavy Slam and Drain Punch allow it to hit standard Dark-type switchins, such as Silvally-Fairy and Scrafty, on a switchin, and is topped off by its Dragon STAB I think this is better off as two separate sentences, like how slam catches fairies then drain punch hitting steels and providing a small amount of recovery (do not use scrafty, do silvally-steel). Dragon Tail is useful for racking up hazards damage and phazing out setup sweeps such as Xatu, while Draco Meteor hits physical walls such as Regirock and Sandconda harder than anything else. mention not needing speed when running draco The Speed EVs allow to creep Regirock and Drudiggon, while the rest is dumped into Atk Attack to hit harder. It should be paired with Steel-types such as Togedemaru and Silvally-Steel, as they can take Fairy-type moves for Guzzlord and check Ribombee, while it can switch into Fire-types like Magmortar and Charizard for them this isn't wrong but I think having a point on hazards is more important since you talk about dragon tail and should have info on knock. Fighting resists like Palossand palo just makes eggy harder to deal w rly, could just make this Aromatisse and toss in a wish support mention or Silvally-Fairy and Weezing can also switch into Fighting-types that threaten Guzzlord out, like Passimian.
