How do we use the Gaping Dragon, /vp/? What set does Guzzlord need?
>>30336276
put it in the trash where it belongs and use hydreigon instead
stock pile rest sleep talk heavy slam
original set donut steel

I had moderate success with a mixed AV set. The problem with Guzzlord is that his monstrous HP is offset by paper defences, and a 4x weakness to one of the most common types of the meta. The AV solves both issues.
You can prioritize whther Attack or SpA gets Beast Boost with nature, and customize the moveset as well. I found something like
Brave
Draco Meteor
Crunch
Heavy Slam
Flamethrower/Sludge Wave/Earthquake
Worked really well. Heavy Slam fucks most faries, Crunch or Dark Pulse is the primary Stab, Draco Meteor is to threaten Dragoos, or generally tell something to fuck off, and your last move goes to coverage. Sludge Wave hits Tapu Koko, as does EQ, and Flamethrower is good if nobody else on your team has fire coverage.

Guzzlord @ Leftovers
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 72 HP / 252 Def / 180 SpD / 4 Spe (if Calm) or 72 HP / 180 Def / 252 SpD / 4 Spe (if Bold)
Calm or Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 SpA
- Dragon Tail
- Toxic
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
This puts Def and Spdef higher than Atk and Spatk, allowing Beast Boost to help those. Aside from that just do the Toxic shuffle.

>still no physical def
>Mimikyu used Play Rough!
>Mimikyu's Disguise broke!
>Mimikyu used Play Rough!
Also it can get 1 shot by Mimikyu Play Rough

Well, you wouldn't bring in your special tank on a physical spammer of something it is 4x weak to, now would you? Would you bring in Blissey on a Conkeldurr?
call it quits on the purely defensive front and follow Hyreigon/Goodra's footsteps.
Guzzlord @ Choice Specs / Assault Vest
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 128 Def / 252 SpA / 128 SpD
Modest / Quiet Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Dark Pulse
- Sludge Bomb / Dragon Tail
- Fire Blast / Dragon Tail
Specs Guzzlord is basically an alternative to Hydreigon that can tank like Clefable
AV can let you do stupid Goodra memes where people expect Specs and instead get fucked by this bulky fat piece of shit, would it have killed you to give it Curse GF jesus
Belch with one of these berries.
Maybe use sub to get low, Stockpile to get stats, maybe even snarl.
...lol

Use Hydreigon instead, more power, faster, just a little less bulky but with a recovery move

Cool set, had to settle for Altered Giratina as gaping dragon for my souls team but now I might try guzz.
>>30337119
I tried a Belch meme set, and it just isn't worth it.
