The best team for Guzzlord in Pokemon GO's Great League:

  • Deoxys in the Lead
  • Umbreon as the Safe Swap
  • Guzzlord as the Closer

A few months back, Guzzlord was insanely powerful, serving as a core breaker. Lanturn would get completely hard-walled by this beast, and the same holds for Trevenant.

However, these two creatures — while still very popular — are not that common to see in the Great League these days. With Deoxys in the Lead, you will be able to deal with Fighting-type beasts and Umbreon. Moreover, this team's Safe Swap will get a lot of neutral matchups in the Great League. You can bank on its bulk to spam Charged moves and maybe even get a shield from your enemy.

Attacks of all the creatures on this party:

The best team for Guzzlord in the Ultra League is:

  • Escavalier in the Lead
  • Altered Forme Giratina as the Safe Swap
  • Guzzlord as the Closer

Guzzlord boasts an insanely high HP stat that gives it a bulk similar to that of Walrein.

Escavalier will give you a fair amount of good matchups in the Lead. With Giratina as the Safe Swap, you can expect to have a reliable beast to fall back on for the hard counters against your Lead.

With no Combat Power restrictions in the Master League, XL Level 50 Guzzlord will perform well with double Legacy Shadow Mewtwo in the Lead. Yveltal will be helpful if you run into creatures like Lugia, Groudon, or Garchomp.
