Guzzlord Raid Solo Guide

Despite having a Psychic sub-typing to remove Fairy's Dark Type resistance, Mega Gardevoir is a wrecking ball of a Pokemon that absolutely destroys Guzzlord with ease. Sitting atop the DPS and TDO charts easily, this is definitely the counter to bring to this raid.

While definitely below Mega Gardevoir on the DPS chart, in part due to its lack of a Super Effective Fast Move, Mega Diancie still hits like a truck and severely threatens Guzzlord's time on the field. While it will need a bit more team-support than the big-gun above, it's still a great pick for the solo.

Despite the lack of the all-important double resistance to Dragon Type moves and a lack of the even more important ability to deal double-super-effective damage, Mega Rayquza's sheer raw power pulls it into our recommended counters here. It's honestly very comparable with  Mega Diancie, even out-DPSing it in many cases, but it doesn't have quite as many resistances to give it the average TDO depending on the moveset.

Shadow Gardevoir has a DPS total that's well over 1.5x what it needs to be solo-worthy in this raid, and also has a very solid TDO to boot. If you have one or more raised, this is the Pokemon to make Guzzlord easy-mode, as it allows you to fill the rest of your team with tanky counters and still finish the solo comfortably. Just watch out for Sludge Bomb and remember that Shadow Gardevoir does not resist Dark Type movesets due to its Psychic sub-typing.

Despite being a low-priority raider who's generally used to fill in if you lack better counters in most cases, Togekiss is an absolute super-star here! It has solo-worthy DPS and a TDO that beats out every other option, meaning it can sit quietly and take advantage of its outstanding bulk and resistances and keep you in the battle while still doing enough damage to beat the clock. Togekiss is definitely a priority for this raid!

Even though it lacks a Fairy Type fast move, Zacian - Hero of Many Battles is actually surprisingly bulky and strong, putting it near Togekiss as a tanky counter with DPS above solo-level. If you already have one for the master League, then throw it in here as well!

Despite being a budget pick, Sylveon is another bulky counter with DPS that makes a solo possible. Players who don't have many resources will want to focus on Sylveon for this raid due to its availability, though evolving them for these raids will take time due to the annoying evolution-requirement. Hope that you already have one or two ready, and/or have the Nickname trick still available!

While not as dominant as its Shadow forme, Gardevoir is still a capable attacker for this raid that sis well above Solo-range.

Basically diet-Shadow Gardevoir with an actual Dark Type resistance. 

If you want context as to just how absurdly high Xurkitree's Attack stat is, here we have it using a not-very-effective Fast Move and a non-STAB Charged Move and it's still one of the better counters in this raid. Let that sink in for a moment.

it feels genuinely odd to see Shadow Salamence this low on one of these lists, especially when its competition is all Fairy Type. It's viable and is a near-optimal counter when it's Windy, but in general it falls a bit short here.

Yes, it's an oddball pick. But also yes; it is indeed effective!

Solid, though not particularly note-worthy.

It's probably best to not raise one specifically for this raid, as it will inevitably get Hydro Cannon during its own Community Day some day.

Just copy-paste Shadow Salamence with a bit less DPS and a bit more TDO.

Same story as Mega Alakazam, but even less DPS and TDO to work with.
