## Lore

### Biology

Guzzlord is 5.5 m tall and weighs 888 kg. It is a huge black sphere dominated by a wide yellow mouth, with long tongues like pincered arms, bat-like wings along its body and a spiked, mace-like tail. A small head with glowing blue eyes sits on top, and Bulbapedia says its body feels like hard rubber.

### Behaviour

Guzzlord feeds without pause whenever it is awake, according to Bulbapedia, using its two big tongues to catch whatever is in its path. The Ultra Moon entry says it may be constantly hungry and is certainly always devouring something. Bulbapedia notes the thought that it may turn everything it eats into energy, which would explain the missing droppings.

### Habitat

It comes from the Ultra Ruin. In the anime that world is a barren wasteland that Guzzlord itself left bare after arriving through a wormhole. It is not available in Scarlet, Violet or Legends: Z-A.

### Diet

Almost anything. Bulbapedia says it eats organic and inorganic matter alike, including the ground, rivers and seas.

### Powers

Its Ability is Beast Boost, which raises its best stat when it knocks out a Pokémon. Its base HP of 223 is the highest of any Dark type, according to Bulbapedia, though its Speed is only 43. It learns Crunch, Knock Off, Heavy Slam and Dragon Rush.

### Name origin

Guzzlord may combine 'guzzle' and 'lord'. The Japanese name is Akuziking (アクジキング), from aku (bad, evil) and 'king', according to its designer, and it may also play on akuji (evil deed) or akujiki (eating repulsive things).

### Design inspiration

James Turner designed Guzzlord. According to his own posts cited by Bulbapedia, it is based on abominations from the works of H. P. Lovecraft and on Agrajag from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and its black and yellow colours come from earthmoving machinery. Bulbapedia adds that eating everything and excreting nothing may also nod to a black hole, which is a fan reading.

### In the games

Guzzlord is the lone Ultra Beast waiting in Resolution Cave in Sun and Moon, its first games. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon take you to the Ultra Ruin, and Sword and Shield's Crown Tundra later added it to the Max Lair.

### In the anime

Guzzlord debuted in 'Battling the Beast Within!', attacking Ash and Pikachu in the ruined Ultra Ruin. In the same episode its second face above the mouth was revealed to be its weak point.

### Fun facts

- Its English category, Junkivore, may blend 'junk' with -vore, the suffix for organisms described by what they eat.
- At 888 kg it is the heaviest Dark type.
- Manalo Stadium hosted a pair of Shiny Guzzlord in 'Z-Move Showdown!', one of them enormous.
- In Pokémon Masters EX, Team Rocket's Giovanni can be scouted in an alternate form with Guzzlord as his partner.
