Pokémon Sun & Moon - Team Skull Leader Guzma Battle Music (HQ)

This play when you are encountering Team Skull Leader Guzma in Pokémon Sun and Moon.
To check out their battle, just click on the video cards ("!")
---
Main goal of these video concept ideas:
My main goal for these kind of videos is to be as creative as possible!
Let me explain:
- Firstly, my very first channel Mixeli (But also my latest one Volipok) post tons of Gameplays from Every Generation (Which once again was played and recorded by myself in it's entirety. It took me many years of works.)
My video have Educational Value and let me explain why: It does provide help to the user who watch the video. One of the few example for that is which musics is played from my gameplays. It could easily be found on video cards (The exclamation mark "!" you see on the video above at the right) and vice versa. (This mean that on this video for example, you could also find my actual battle gameplays of where this music is played)
- Secondly, My video are transformative enough, I took the time to play the game and recording the musics. I took the time to improve it's original quality using Vegas Pro. Thanks to a program called "Track EQ" that you can find on Vegas Pro.
This program allow the user to enhance it's original quality and further improving it. This need concentration as each version has different audio quality.
- Thirdly and as you have noticed: On each Generation, I use different background that I bought on a website called Shutterstock. (Which I have bought at least 336 pictures background, just so I can become as creative as possible and also work on a lot of different style using those background)
This kind of concept was created by myself since 2011. Today it has become one of the main concept of my channel that I personally created.
- Lastly is to bring the community together. I have noticed that so many people are commenting and giving their opinions on the video, sharing their experience about characters from the game, confirming theory, saying funny stuff and I find this extremely amazing and interesting! I don't want their comment to be unnoticed so I have plan for the future of my content about commenting and sharing their experience on videos that I will produce one day!
I think I explained everything now. Enjoy and have a great day!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All musics, gameplay and content included within this video are transformative, creative, have educational value and this recording are from my own gameplay. I'm also the one that created that concept video ideas. No copyright infringement is intended.

[@DerVasto]

@@phathomie27 The strongest Bug-types not only cover the whole type-roulette secondary-type-wise, but also attack-wise. Golisopod (Water), Leavannie (Grass), Armaldo (Rock), Volcarona (freakin´ FIRE), (Genesect only maybe, because it´s hard to obtain), Scolipede (Poison), Pinsir (pure Bug, but learns powerful Fighting-moves and has a Flying-oriented Mega), Accelgor (again, pure, but it is speedy), Scizor (Steel), Ninjask (Flying, also it IS speed and arguably the best Baton Pass user in the game), Escavalier (Steel), Galvantula (Electric), Vikavolt (Electric), Ribombee (Fairy), Buzzwole (Fighting Ultra Beast), Pheromosa (ANOTHER Fighting Ultra Beast), in the new Sword&Shield we got Centiskorch (Fire), Frosmoth (Ice) AND Orbeetle (Psychic). So I´d say Guzma has picked one of the best, if not nowadays THE best gallery of Pokemon to choose from. A pure Bug-type team can be completely ridiculous, swinging through the enemy team like they´re made of warm Miltank-butter. Sorry for the long-ass comment, Bug-types get me going places.

[@superbigtime]

Guzma is a bug type specialist - Bug type Pokemon tend to evolve much earlier than most other types in their evolution lines, reaching their maximum power around very low levels, neutering their power later on. Guzma peaked as a kid, and suffered in his later years because of it, becoming violent, temperamental, and confrontational. Guzma evolved early, like a bug type.

[@dig-daegstudios2340]

I feel like his off screen character arc is more akin to his Golisopod. He wasn’t that strong at the beginning of his life, then suddenly got amazingly powerful and beat his dad, then ran away to create Team Skull. He went from not being that strong to incredibly powerful in a very short amount of time, and didn’t know what to do with all that power, so he lashed it out against the people closest to him, never really learning to control it. But, that’s just my interpretation of the character.

[@gengarzilla1685]

Volcarona is the exception that proves the rule.

[@ChalkMuncher]

Guzma was beaten with a golf club by his parents as a child I really feel bad for the guy He still turned out to be such an amazing character though

Like, I have zero problems having problems with water/rock types since I'm doing a mono-fire run, but that fucking Masquerain has no business being such a demon, the only pokémon (aside from Lusamine's Milotic) that I groan at every time I see it.

[@galvsparks6295]

Reminder that masquerain had an insane stat boost in gen 7 making its special attack go from 80 to 100 and speed 60 to 80 making it significantly faster and stronger. Combine that to the fact that like all of guzma’s mons it’s fully EV’d in 2 stats (here being speed and special attack) and you have a terrific pokemon to face

[@joshuakim5240]

+truearea53 Actually, if comparing grunt pokemon team rosters, Team Flare is considerably stronger than Team Skull in virtually every category, as the only evolved pokemon Team Skull grunts use are Golbats and a few rare Haunters (with i think literally one Toxapex somewhere), whilst Team Flare grunts end up having the likes of Golbat, Scrafty, Houndoom, Mightyena, Toxicroak, and Swalot. This is based roughly in the same part of the games as well when they appear last (Skull grunts prior to the final Trial and Flare grunts prior to reaching the final gym). This can be partially explained by Flare grunts being societal elites with the resources to get stronger rosters while Skull grunts are broke former trial-goers who have to do with cheap, weaker rosters.

[@knee-hi8646]

I know i'm late to the party, but here i am. Guzma is a really lovable character, replaying through USUM though, something was there that I had overlooked previously. A house on Route 2. A man inside of it talks about a boy who left home without a word, and how he would attempt to beat this boy into shape when in the end - he was the one who was beat. Looking more around the house, a child's room filled with second and third place trophies is another big hint as to who this might be, golf clubs that look beaten up and broken are there as well. It soon became obvious that Guzma lived here as a boy, at least that's what I've gathered, and he was beaten by his father(?) until he decided to run away. Man.

[@whymustyoulookhere7112]

Yep! You can even find him there taking his boom box back, and the father was "out" for the day. Guzma was abused as a kid until he ran away, starting Team Skull.

@daemonicpotato keep in mind guzma failed to become a captain in the context of the story

[@DerVasto]

@daemonicpotato To be fair, Gamefreak has yet to release a pseudo-legendary Bug-type, and Guzma basically was made to be beaten. ...I remember Cynthia. Her Garchomp was on a ridiculously high level, was a pseudo-legendary, had the strongest STAB-moves it could have for its damage type and it was backed up by other strong, type-noncoherent Pokemon with different utilities like Lucario and Spiritomb. Even if Guzma had somewhat better Pokemon, they´d all need to be Bug-type, be catchable in Alola AND would need to be ridiculously overleveled in order to cover up their inherent weaknesses, as Guzma in these editions does not have the full Bug-type arsenal at his disposal. I really hope we can challenge him in a future edition, all while he uses the strongest kind of Bug-team with reasonable level and good coverage in movesets.

[@matthewcass3773]

daemonicpotato “Y’all are stupid” I’m in a minority here, but I actually had a harder time in my first match guzma than Cynthia It took me a few tries to beat her, but that’s because I only had one decently leveled Pokémon. A torterra with giga drain, rock smash, strength, and leaf storm. I was 12 Unlike guzma, she didn’t have the courage to face me in a one on one fight. She hid behind her elite four lackeies, let them wear me down, and then finished off the only decent Pokémon I had. And even then, she only won the first few times because I was low on pp A decade passes: I’m wiser, im smarter, I actually UNDERSTAND how Pokémon’s mechanics work I run into guzma Keep in mind that my team is fully rested Two Pokémon? Pfft peace of- This thing has 140 defense, and a workable 90 special defense And the same attack stat as friggin GYARADOS Golisipod FI’s my dartrix into the dirt, and nearly plows through the rest of my decently made team, courtesy of swords dance All by itself. Despite being about the same level as each individual in my whole team I only beat it because I overwhelmed it with sheer numbers Now, to be perfectly fair, i was not prepared for something as bulky as golisopod If I KNEW he was coming, I could have grabbed a toucannon. But then again, hindsight is always 20/20 Ever since then, both guzma, and golisopod earned my respect

[@youtube-kit9450]

Yeah, S/M and US/UM imo are actually very good pokémon games - yes, way too many unskippeable cutscenes and tutorials, absolutely. Hope any remakes will just make the tutorials optional and the cutscenes skippeable, imo that alone would make the games basically "perfect" (also give us the Glaceon rock at the base of Mount Lanakila you dumb fucks). But aside from that? Imo US/UM has good difficulty, the totem pokémon are an amazing challenge and different to the gym leader stuff, the whole region and everything just *oozes* charm, the UB stuff aside the region and games in general have that whimsical, funny tone (sure the humous can hit or miss, but imo in general it's nice), the characters are imo amazing all throughout, they fixed the Exp. share well (before fucking it up again in Sw/Sh), and Lusamine is a delightfully despicable antagonist (again, UB plot aside which is abit over the top, her treatment of her children being cruel depictions of parental abuse were well-done) and ma boi Guzma is one of the best evil team leaders ever. While I still think gen 4-5 are the best pokémon gens so far and the franchise's zenith, imo gen 7 stands out as another peak among the dumpsterfire that was Kalos (the gen 3 remakes were decent, good even) and whatever the fuck Sw/Sh was supposed to be. Heck, even though I'd say gen 5 might be "objectively" better than gen 7, for me personally gen 7 is my second favourite gen behind gen 4 (Platinum and HG/SS being absolutely amazing and platinum hard-carrying D/P). Heck, I'd say the biggest issue and why gen 6 and 8 are probably the most reviled currently are that they never got third editions or something like B/W 2 or US/UM to fix the issues that always plague the first two games in a gen.

Yess SoulSilver & Sun are my favorite core series games in the franchise btw and I've been to every core region minus Scarlet/Violet's so technically this is coming from an experienced "veteran" but ik it's just my opinion, though I highly doubt anyone who didn't start with SwSh and actually played SM would disagree.

I'd think he'd sound more Mexican/Latino, Plumeria and Guzmas names are based on a flowers found in Mexico/South America and Team Skulls character designs seem to take inspiration from Southern Californian Latino Gangstas. Guzman is a common Mexican surname as well. Notice how he's not as dark as Hau, Hala, or any of the other Native Alolans, and since Alola has a rich and diverse population, it's not far fetched for him be of non-Alolan descent.

I think that Guzma's whole story arc is really cool and doesn't get much love. He used to be scared of nothing, ruling Team Skull and leading them alongside himself to do horrid actions (this is Sun and Moon, the edgy PKMN game; I have a feeling Team Skull did way more unspeakable horrors beyond hijacking an entire town and a few niche crimes.) But after the Ultra Space incident, his whole life changed for the better. If you notice his appearance after the main story, he even got rid of all his Skull-themed accessories. It's even suggested that some of Team Skull went into soft rehabilitation, while others want to "learn how to be good". And there's something about him being a Bug-Trainer... it's almost metaphorical.

I like how he is different from the other baddies in the series. Unlike guys like Giovanni or Ghetsis, he was a guy who gave home to societies rejects and "losers" where they united like a family cause they all understood one another. Him using bug types fits into this as well. Bugs are often rejected and the type ain't exactly seen as strong. But he made bugs a threat and showed their power. They all look up to him not out of fear or merely common evil mindset but because he is a true boss who took them all in and saw them not as losers but as allies. He has his quirks but is nonetheless a man who gave hope to countless people even if they were on the wrong path.

One of the most likeable characters in all of the Pokémon franchise

[@fleas.]

Agreed

[@TheLateLordKardok]

In addition to one of the most shockingly threatening. I mean, he literally threatens you with DEATH by BEATING at his mansion.

[@fleas.]

@@TheLateLordKardok Yeah but he's still awesome though xD

[@woodclocker3358]

Cethys Incorrect... He IS the most likeable character!

[@USSFFRU]

@@TheLateLordKardok I mean, he's not the type to actually kill you though, being death threatened by Giovanni actually sounds more threatening lol, considering Guzma isn't really evil and he really would not kill the Protagonist.

[@jieze2559]

I know everyone talks about Guzma and how he used the most underated type being the bug type, but when will we get the same amount of attention or love for normal types? I would like it if in the next pokemon game we got an evil team leader that specializes in normal types

[@CharlesArdent]

The evil normal type trainer is Whitney

Guzma is officially my favourite Pokémon villain. If we don't see him in the anime, I'm gonna be so disappointed.

The World Ends With You: Pokémon edition

[@strawberriiluna]

y’all don’t wanna say it, so i’ll say it for you; THIS SLAPS

[@SilverOakleaf51]

I think Guzma is my favorite for a few reasons: 1) he can go from comical to tHE MOST INTIMIDATING and back to comical in like ten seconds flat and it's amazing 2) most main villains are pansies at the end of the day; Guzma would 100% fight you man-to-man if your pokemon weren't in the way 3) he simultaneously has the least and the most chill in the entire game 4) his sunglasses 5) this song

[@NRF3703]

Kaitlin Martin So, he's a human version of Aku?

[@michaeltalley170]

The Team Rainbow Rocket episode in USUM makes the second point so true, cause this man was holding back 2 Rocket Grunts in an actual physical confrontaion. Guzma is the best boss.

[@user-ix7ds1nb6z]

Kaitlin Martin Yup! He's the man for the job. Best homie in the history of pokemon!

[@KarateGirl999]

+David Page True. The closest thing we have to that in USUM is when Guzma says in the RR episode, "I may not be one to talk, but these dudes are stupid!"

[@notpaul5622]

Kaitlin Martin do u even english?

[@siroak3304]

guzma is just one bug catcher who went rogue... and thats why i love it
