This team is so fun. Electric Terrain is generally only used in higher tiers like OU but PU has some good ways to captialise on it too. Electric seed is nice for Archeops and Drifblim to give them +1 Defence and boost the power of Acrobatics for Archeops. Mesprit rocks and gives the sweepers a second chance. Togedemaru is the best setter and offers good utility in general. Psychium Z Raichu bops grounds like Pilo and Golurk. Thunderpunch Hitmonchan 2hkos Sableye under terrain.

Pretty straight forward team. Started with the standard Archeops set and added rocks Clefairy. Clefairy is the special sponge of the team and deals with Scalds and Volt Switches, which Archeops hates. Also gave it Heal Bell to heal Burns from Chops and Ape or Toxic from Mush. Now I added Weezing as my physical defensive wall primarily for mons like Primeape, but it is also a part-time spinblocker. Added some speed to taunt other Weezings. As my fourth mon I choose Twinkle Tackle Mush which I really like to use lately. Love to bop mons which encore me in Calm Mind or Trick users. Skuntank was now the perfect choice for my 5th mon. 1. It pairs incredibly well with Weezing 2. If you want to use Archeops well you kinda need a hazard remover 3. It is a grounded poison type for T-Spikes and last but not least it Pursuit traps psychic and ghost mons which wall Mush and Ape. As my last member I chose scarfed Primeape cause the team lacks speed and it is one of the best momentum grabbers in the tier rn.

error 404 - replays don't work rn







But trust me the team is decent

Spdef Iron Defense is the dedicated fire check. Enough Speed for unboosted zard the rest of the set is fairly self explanatory. Skuntank removes rocks for Archeops and does normal Skunk things. Special Skunk to help the matchup vs opposing Weezing. Weezing is added for fighting check and better ground immunity than Arch + broken Tspikes. Tbolt hits a bunch of things like Qwilfish and Archeops credit to Megazard. Icium Z CM Mesprit is a really cool set as it can ohko most variants of Skuntank at +1. Adding rocks on to this set helps with pressuring Skunk more into trying to come in on it. I decided the team was lacking some heat value so Safety Goggles Rapidash was added as the dedicated Lilligant/Ice Check. Low Kick is used to hit Piloswine for more damage. I was gonna add Scarf Primeape as my last but thats too mainstream so Scarf Passimian it is.

So as everyone knows, the set that has given Guzzlord so much traction in PUPL and the like is the threatening Resttalk Dtail set for its ability to hard check many Fire/Grass/Ghost types. Earthquake is used to do the max amount of damage possible to Magmortar which is by far the biggest threat to the team. Dtail is used to phaze out threats that may try to setup. Max Spdef to sponge special hits as much as possible with 192 HP in order to give Guzzlord a 95% chance of living 2 Focus Blasts from Modest Magmortar with the rest thrown in attack. Pyukumuku was added as a check to a multitude of setup sweepers including but not limited to: Musharna, Kabutops, Carracosta, Gurdurr, Jynx, etc. Max Defense is used to better take things like Kabutop's Continental Crush. Bronzor was then added cause its stall and stall without Bronzor is an unteam. Dundies spread cause the Guzzlord spread tired me out. Togetic was then added as a decent fighting check, but more importantly a cleric and defogger. At this point i noticed Taunt Weezing was really obnoxious so i added Extransensory Roselia as the counter. Sludge Bomb does no damage to Rose and Extransensory is an easy 3hko back. On top of that it absorbs Tspikes and get up its own Spikes to speed up the chip the other guy takes. Another old spread cause lazy. I was gonna go full Rack MC and add Dusclops as my last but credit to 2xTheTap for suggesting Palossand instead. Pallosand checks normals and Fighting types a lot better than Bronzor and Togetic do respectively. It also blocks spins and crucially checks Fightinium Z Raichu-A which otherwise 6-0s.

Team Members: Using the stock-standard Assault Vest Guzzlord set, since it is the one I have found the most success with. Weezing creates an excellent defensive core, since it absorbs physical hits and checks the Fighting- and Fairy-types that give Guzzlord problems, while Guzzlord can sponge special attacks with ease. Guzzlord also appreciates the opposing team being worn down through Toxic Spikes. Type: Null was selected as a win condition and supports the Weezing-Guzzlord core well, as the three can blanket check a huge portion of the tier. Hitmonchan was chosen as the hazard remover due to it getting rid of Steel-types, which Weezing, Type: Null, and to a lesser extent Guzzlord, have problems with. Mesprit was chosen as the pivot and Stealth Rock setter, while also acting as a back-up check to Fighting-types in case Weezing goes down. Granbull was chosen as the final member to cure status and spread status amongst the enemy team. It can also hit decently hard with a STAB Play Rough.

Items: As stated above, Assault Vest was selected to boost Guzzlord's already great bulk. Weezing was given Black Sludge to provide passive recovery each turn while also making it less vulnerable to Trick. Type: Null was given the Eviolite to boost its already great bulk. Hitmonchan was given Assault vest to help it tank special hits. Mesprit was given Colbur Berry to reduce its vulnerability to Pursuit and other Dark-type moves. Granville was given Normalium Z to give it a one-time full heal, which is very useful due to its lack of reliable recovery.

Guzzlord can best make use of its ability Beast Boost under Trick Room since it is harder to revenge kill when it outspeeds everything and I gave it a Dragonium Z to help it grab the boost. Crabominable is great under Trick Room as nothing is great at switching into it's STAB attacks safely. My last Trick Room abuser is Wishiwashi which also has good coverage and strong offensive stats, I added HP Grass for Gastrodon since it can annoy the team. Carbink is pretty standard as it sets up rocks, trick room and booms. Musharna and Audino are my last two setters which i think are the most reliable. Musharna takes on Fighting types and sets trick room up vs most physical attackers whilst Audino sets vs special attackers. Chople Berry is so it can set it up safely against stuff with Focus Blast like Magmortar.

Started with Guzzlord, along with Togedemaru and Mesprit to cover its weaknesses and provide support in switching it in while taking as little damage as possible. Notably, Togedemaru has Iron Barbs and a Rocky Helmet to punish U-Turns that hit a lot of the team for super effective damage. Exeggutor is a fantastic partner offensively; they both wear down each others' checks and trick room allows either one of them to sweep weakened teams. Dugtrio gives a strong way of dealing with fairy-types and memento gives Exeggutor a free setup opportunity for Trick Room. Finally, Gurdurr functions as a status absorber and blanket check to physical pokemon, is threatening under Trick Room and is capable of sweeping by itself if left unchecked against a team weakened by Exeggutor and Guzzlord.

This team seeks to abuse the breaking power of both Guzzlord and Alolan Exeggutor to wear down each others' checks in order to allow either of them to sweep in the late game through the use of Exeggutor's trick room. Both Togedemaru and Mesprit are used as fantastic pivots that also keep both of the dragons alive through use of Wish and Healing Wish respectively, and their medium-slow U-Turns to give Exeggutor and Dugtrio more switch-in opportunities. Guzzlord really doesn't need help in this regard, but it appreciates it too and it emphasises its ability to break teams in half with just a single free switch in. Mesprit, especially, lures in pokemon like Skuntank which Guzzlord can then be U-Turned to and start causing havoc. Dugtrio is mostly used to abuse fairy-types as they can cause issues for both of the dragons. It can be difficult to switch in, but it is capable of taking some weak fairy attacks. Its immunity to poison also grants it some nice switch-in opportunities. Memento is a huge boon to the team as it often allows Exeggutor a free turn to set up Trick Room to allow it and/or Guzzlord to sweep.

Physically-biased mixed Guzzlord

So after being sniped by Taskr, I decided to try a bit of an unorthodox set for Guzzlord. One Hundred and one attack, while lacking high hitting moves like Draco Meteor, still has strong coverage and a solid STAB in Crunch to still hit like a truck. For this sort of set I decided to go for a more bulky hazard centric team to help wear down would be checks/counters to Guzzlord such as Granbull and Regirock. Choice Specs Mesprit was added to the team as an offensive check to Fighting types and for Healing Wish support to the team. Originally over Qwilfish and Regirock I had used Ferroseed for Spikes and Archeops for SR, but the team needed another Fighting Check and a better Normal check and decided to use defensive Qwilfish + Regirock. BU Throh was added as a win condition and a way to shuffle around teams to rack up hazard damage. The team looked rather slow as this point and I wanted a fast, hard hitting Pokemon, so I ended up using Waterium Z Floatzel as a secondary offensive Fire check.
