Guzma: Difference between revisions

|desc={{p|Golisopod}} is Guzma's first known Pokémon. It was first used to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]], but the match ended prematurely when Golisopod returned to its {{i|Poké Ball}} due to Emergency Exit. It was used again in ''[[SM134|The Road to The Semifinals!]]'' during the second round of the Alola League, where it emerged victorious against [[Lana's Primarina]].

In ''[[SM136|Getting Down to The Ire!]]'', Golisopod was sent out against [[Ash's Torracat]] in the semifinals. Despite having a type advantage, the two were evenly matched, with Golisopod taking several hard hits. Golisopod proved to be a cowardly Pokémon, as it used Emergency Exit once faced with a {{m|Fire Blast}}, forcing its teammate Scizor to come out and take the attack, despite having a double type-disadvantage to it. This led to Scizor being knocked out, infuriating Guzma, who had a different strategy in mind that was now ruined. Following this, Golisopod was sent back out. The battle continued in the [[SM137|next episode]], where Golisopod managed to defeat Torracat, but was knocked out by Pikachu after a lengthy battle.

In ''[[SM136|Getting Down to The Ire!]]'', Scizor was the first Pokémon Guzma used during his battle against Ash in the semifinals, where it went up against {{AP|Torracat}}. After using U-turn, Scizor returned to its {{i|Poké Ball}} and switched with Golisopod due to it having a double type-disadvantage against Torracat. However, Golisopod later retreated from a {{m|Fire Blast}} and sent out Scizor without warning, leaving it with no time to dodge or counter the move. As a result, Scizor took a direct hit and was knocked out.
