Isn't it funny that every single UB is competitively viable except for the 'final' one that was given the most build up and lore in-game?

Guzzlord is a prime example of how important stat distribution is

I hate it when Gamefreak decide to give a pokemon either great defenses with piss poor HP, or great HP and shitty defenses. Please why!?

They probably crunch some magic imaginary numbers in their head and think it makes sense for balance but then it doesn't at all.

haha

but really, Turner said it's because the hole in Guzzlord's stomach leads to somewhere highly mysterious

So everything Guzzlord eats ends up in a pocket dimension or something

GF doesn't follow any logic with stats and balancing. They sometimes do OP shit and sometimes make "balanced" pokemon.

Another issue with Guzzlord is its movepool, which is very lacking in terms of utility moves.

The only viable UBs are the two Ubers, Kartana, and Celesteela.

But people do use STAB Fairy moves, and Fairy-types are great, so you'll still be seeing Fairy moves often.

It doesn't make the typing shit offensively.
You mostly need Fighting coverage alongside it to sweep.
Dragon is a shit offensive type, even Dragon types may drop their STAB for better coverage options.

The single thing I hate the most in what they made was backpedaling on Ultra Beasts and making them into regular Pokémon, including giving names instead of keeping with the much more interesting UB-XX.

Tell me this didn't look like a friggin' final boss back then.
