The line between our world and Ultra space again becomes thinner, and you already can see Guzzlord’s claws through it. First arriving in the world of Pokemon Go in November 2022, this Ultra Beast inspired fear and desire to get it into your collection ASAP. Indeed, in addition to its incredible appearance, being a Dark and Dragon-type Pokemon, Guzzlord has resistance to half of the types of attacks and is incredibly resistant to Psychic-type.
If you are looking for a short answer, then Yes, Guzzlord can be a Shiny in Pokemon Go. Shiny Guzzlord’s appearance is significantly different from the classic form of this Pokemon. The black and gloomy body takes on a bright white hue, fangs and claws turn orange instead of yellow, and only the bottomless blue mouth remains unchanged.
Being a Dark and Dragon-type Pokemon, it has a ton of resistance and takes almost no damage from Psychic-type attacks, but it also has quite a few weaknesses. You can deal increased damage to this Pokemon by attacking with Fighting, Bug, Ice, and Dragon-type moves. But use Pokemon with Fairy-type attacks, and you have the maximum advantage over Guzzlord. If you have an extensive collection of powerful Pokemon, here are some of the best counters to defeat Guzzlord as quickly as possible:
- Beartic: Charm, Play Rough.
- Beartic: Powder Snow, Play Rough.
- Zacian: Snarl, Play Rough.
- Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe.
- Latias: Charm, Outrage.
