Guzzlord @ Choice Band
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Knock Off
- Outrage / Dragon Claw
- Earthquake
- Heavy Slam


Guzzlord is a devouring wallbreaker because of its STAB Knock Off and dismaying coverage, allowing it to break past Pokemon like Bronzong, Talonflame, and Doublade. Outrage is Guzzlord’s most powerful move that hits Dark-types like Scrafty and opposing Guzzlord while also muscling past bulky Pokemon like Mudsdale, Vileplume, and Vaporeon. Alternatively, Dragon Claw is an option to avoid being locked into Outrage due to the commonality of Fairy-types like Sylveon and Diancie. Heavy Slam is great for Fairy-types, as they are either unbothered by or immune to its STAB moves. Earthquake is good coverage for Toxicroak, Drapion, and Silvally-Steel, especially for the former two since they resist Knock Off. Pokemon like Salazzle and Vileplume are required as teammates to check the aforementioned Fairy-types. Guzzlord is threatened by wallbreakers like Sirfetch’d and Tyrantrum, allowing Pokemon like Mudsdale and Bronzong to be great teammates.

natively, Dragon Claw is an option so you’re not locked into Outrage

Probably best to note the downside of locking into Outrage given how common Diancie and Sylveon are.

Pokémon like Bronzong, Salazzle, and Vileplume are required as teammates to check the aforementioned Fairy-types, despite having the coverage to check them.

It should say or, not and, as to not imply you need all three on any team with Guzzlord. I also do not think Heavy Slam suddenly makes you a check as you still die to any Fairy move, so I would delete the last bit of the sentence.

Guzzlord is threatened by faster threats like Inteleon and Toxicroak, making checks such as Talonflame, Bronzong, and Vileplume a necessity.

Inteleon is barely used and none of the Pokemon you list really check it, so I would use a different example revenge killer and perhaps try different teammate options as you repeated some from just a few sentences prior.

With these edits, it’s great 1/1

Hide your Bronzongs and plug in your earplug because he’s about to scream! (tried to make this sentence sound less clunky and awkward to keep in but to no avail)
