Personality
Guzma has a great amount of determination, which was best showcased during the Manalo Conference, where he entered with the strong hopes of destroying it from within. Guzma uses dirty tactics in order to win, as seen during his battle against Ilima, where he had his Scizor position itself so that Kangaskhan's baby was always in the middle, endangering its well-being and causing the mother to hesitate often enough to be defeated. This was seen again during his battle against Lana, when he had Golisopod ruthlessly attack Primarina without mercy.
Although his fighting style is questionable, he never breaks the rules. Despite his brutality, he is a careful fighter who observes his opponents and adapts his Pokémon's next moves accordingly, both by not falling for the same tricks twice and by trying to find a weakness he can exploit. All of this is done with cold and calculating precision, with him taking full advantage of any chance that comes.
Guzma completely defied the use of Z-Rings and Z-Crystals because, in his youth, he never learned to understand them properly and was bitter for always losing exercise battles against Kukui, despite the latter always commending his growth as a Trainer. After resolving to become strong in his own, Guzma built his reputation among Team Skull as "the Undefeated" by actually defeating only weak Trainers and retreating from battles against stronger Trainers with an excuse that he would have won anyways due to the damage his brutal tactics would do to his opponents' Pokémon. It was only during his battle against Ash, during the Manalo Conference, when Guzma was finally forced to admit his own cowardice and Golisopod, who had previously shared the same personality traits as him, now convinced him to let go of his fear of losing and keep battling until the end.

Golisopod is Guzma's first known Pokémon. It was first used to battle against Ash's Pikachu, but the match ended when Golisopod returned to its Poké Ball due to Emergency Exit. It was used again in the second round of the Alola League, where it emerged victorious against Lana's Primarina. Golisopod was sent out against Ash's Torracat in the semifinals. The two were evenly matched, with Golisopod taking several hard hits. Golisopod proved to be just as fond of using dirty tactics as its Trainer, such as when it used Emergency Exit once faced with a Fire Blast, forcing 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 next episode, where Golisopod managed to defeat Torracat, but was knocked out by Pikachu soon after. Golisopod reappeared in flashbacks in Final Rivals! and From Z to Shining Z!. Golisopod reappeared in Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!, where Guzma used it to train his underlings. Golisopod's known moves are First Impression, Pin Missile, Liquidation, Poison Jab, and Throat Chop, and its Ability is Emergency Exit. | ||

| Scizor is Guzma's second known Pokémon. It first appeared in SM129, where it battled in the Manalo Conference, defeating a Kommo-o and allowing its Trainer to progress to the Top 16.
In SM130, Scizor was used by Guzma to battle against Ilima and his Kangaskhan. Despite Ilima Mega Evolving Kangaskhan, Scizor was able to defeat its opponent, allowing Guzma to progress to the second round. In SM136, Scizor was the first Pokémon Guzma used during his battle against Ash in the semifinals, where it went up against Torracat. After using U-turn, Scizor returned to its Poké Ball and switched with Golisopod due to it having a double type-disadvantage against Torracat. However, Golisopod retreated from a Fire Blast and sent out Scizor without warning, leaving it with no time to prepare for or counter the move. As a result, Scizor took a direct hit and was knocked out. Scizor's known moves are Bullet Punch, Agility, X-Scissor, and U-turn. | ||
