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. This Pokemon returns to 5-star raids a year after release, and players have a question. Can Guzzlord Be Shiny in Pokemon Go? Here, you will find the answer.
Can You Catch Shiny Guzzlord in Pokemon Go
If you are looking for a short answer, then Yes, Guzzlord can be a Shiny in Pokemon Go. As we said, this Pokemon first visited the game world in November 2022 during the Season of Light and became an excellent gift for the end of Halloween. And now, less than a year later, on October 6, 2023, Guzzlord returned to 5-star raid gyms along with his shiny version.
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.
However, Guzzlord is not a frequent visitor to the Pokemon Go world, so you should hurry up. From October 6 to October 20, you can challenge Guzzlord at 5-star raid gyms and encounter a unique version of this Pokemon. You should be especially careful on October 11 and 18, 2023, from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm local time. Within an hour, all raid gyms will become 5-star Guzzlord Raid Gyms. And this is perhaps the best opportunity to find one or even several Shiny Guzzlord. The chance of finding Shiny is only 1 in 20, but first, you must defeat it.
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.
- Xurkitree: Thunder Shock, Dazzling Gleam.
- Primarina: Charm, Moonblast.
