Description He is the strong leader of a group of toughs in Alola called Team Skull. The group's rowdy members obey him, and his kindness has earned their devoted respect.

Guzma (Japanese: グズマ Guzma) is a Pokémon Trainer in Pokémon Masters EX, based on the character of the same name in the core series games. He forms a sync pair with Golisopod. The sync pair can be obtained through the sync pair scout since March 27, 2020. The pair's potential can be upgraded to 6★ EX from April 19, 2021, which unlocks Guzma's EX style.

Guzma is also available in his special costume partnered alongside Buzzwole. The sync pair can be obtained through a limited sync pair scout and was first available on November 11, 2021. The pair's potential can be upgraded to 6★ EX from when the pair was first released.

Guzma also forms a sync pair with Ariados. This pair was made available through a variety sync pair scout beginning on May 9, 2024. This pair can be raised to 6★ EX since it first released, though this pair lacks an EX style.
