Guzzlord is a new Ultra Beast in Raid Hours in Pokémon GO on November 9 and November 16, which both take place from 6 pm to 7 pm local time. With all these Raids and activities involving Guzzlord during November 2022, players have more than enough opportunities to add this new Ultra Beast to their PokéDex.

Of course, knowing when Guzzlord will appear is only the first step in catching this Ultra Beast in Pokémon GO. Trainers must also have a firm understanding of this Raid Boss's elemental resistances and vulnerabilities, including which counters are best suited for the battle. Ultra Beast is a Dark- and Dragon-type pocket monster; these two elements make the creature substantially susceptible to Fairy-type attacks. Fighting-, Bug-, Ice-, and Dragon-type Movesets are also countering elements to Guzzlord, but none are as effective as Fairy.

Best Counters for Guzzlord in a Pokémon GO Raid

Pokémon GO Guzzlord Featured in the Anime

When selecting the best counters for Guzzlord in a Five-Star Raid, it is crucial to consider using Pokémon GO Shadow variants if available. For example, Pokebattler states that Shadow Gardevoir and Shadow Granbull are the best combatants to face the gluttonous Ultra Beast. The Legendary Zacian - Hero is an excellent option as well. However, such pocket monsters are extremely challenging to obtain, resulting in only a handful of Trainers possessing them in their roster. Fortunately, plenty of other common Pokémon can also serve as effective counters against Guzzlord in Pokémon GO.

Below is a list of the best combatants and their optimal Movesets for taking down Guzzlord in a Pokémon GO Raid:
