Top Guzzlord Counters

Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Guzzlord counters as such:

  • Mega Gardevoir: Charm, Dazzling Gleam
  • Enamorus: Fairy Wind, Dazzling Gleam
  • Shadow Gardevoir: Charm, Dazzling Gleam
  • Shadow Granbull: Charm, Play Rough
  • Xerneas: Geomancy, Moonblast
  • Mega Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Outrage
  • Mega Alakazam: Counter, Dazzling Gleam
  • Gardevoir: Charm, Dazzling Gleam
  • Tapu Koko: Quick Attack, Nature's Madness
  • Togekiss: Charm, Dazzling Gleam

It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help take down Guzzlord with efficiency.

  • Tapu Lele: Astonish, Nature's Madness
  • Xurkitree: Thunder Shock, Dazzling Gleam
  • Zacian: Quick Attack, Play Rough
  • Primarina: Charm, Moonblast
  • Tapu Bulu: Bullet Seed, Nature's Madness
  • Granbull: Charm, Play Rough
  • Sylveon: Charm, Dazzling Gleam
  • Origin Forme Palkia: Dragon Tail, Spacial Rend
  • Galarian Rapidash: Fairy Wind, Play Rough
  • Beartic: Charm, Play Rough

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Guzzlord can be defeated with two trainers, but if you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have three or more players. You may be able to defeat Guzzlord by yourself if you exclusively use Fairy-types due to its double-weakness, but it will be a difficult battle. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon. If you get a Shiny, though, it is a guaranteed catch, so be sure to use a Pinap Berry.

Shiny Odds & 100% IVs

The Shiny rate for Tier Five Raid Pokémon is approximately one in 20. When looking for a Pokémon with the best stats, the 100% IV Guzzlord will have a CP of 1650 in normal weather conditions and 2062 in boosted conditions.

Happy raiding, fellow trainers! Be sure to check back on Bleeding Cool for daily updates on all things Pokémon GO.
