'''Guzma''' (Japanese: '''グズマ''' ''Guzma'') is a character introduced in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. He is the leader of [[Team Skull]]. He is the {{cat|Trainers with unique classes|only character}} in the {{pkmn|games}} to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Team Skull Boss''' (Japanese: '''スカル団ボス''' ''Team Skull Boss''). He [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
Guzma first appears in [[Malie Garden]], taunting [[Professor Kukui]], calling both the professor and himself "fellow rejects who never could become [[Trial Captain|captains]]." Guzma then criticizes Kukui's idea of building a [[Pokémon League]] for [[Alola]]; while he agrees that some parts of the [[island challenge]] are antiquated, he claims there's no need for a League, as he believes he's the strongest {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the region. To solidify his position, his Grunts have been stealing every piece of [[Buginium Z]] across Alola simply to deny its use to other Trainers. When Kukui asks the {{player}} to battle Guzma, the boss takes notice of their [[Z-Ring]], and asks why they're taking on the island challenge before immediately dismissing it and accepting Kukui's terms. The player wins, and Guzma leaves, saying he'll remember the encounter.

Later on, the player travels to [[Po Town]] to retrieve a {{p|Yungoos}} Team Skull stole from a child living at the [[Aether House]]. After getting past an army of Team Skull Grunts and infiltrating their headquarters, the [[Shady House]], the player comes face-to-face with Guzma, who is holding the Yungoos in his personal quarters. He returns the Yungoos after losing to the player again, but vows that he will one day defeat them.

However, it is subsequently revealed that Team Skull's kidnapping of the Yungoos was a distraction meant to draw the player away from the Aether House so [[Plumeria]] could abduct [[Lillie]]. At this point, [[Gladion]] openly betrays Team Skull and recruits both the player and [[Hau]] for a mission to rescue Lillie from where Team Skull took her — [[Aether Paradise]]. As the player, Hau and Gladion fight through the [[Aether Foundation Employee]]s who, along with [[Faba]], are guarding Aether Paradise on [[Lusamine]]'s orders, they discover a large group of Team Skull Grunts personally led by Guzma guarding the path to Lusamine's mansion, revealing that Lusamine has been secretly controlling Team Skull. Gladion rushes ahead to attempt to defeat Guzma and open the path for the player, but fails, leaving the player to battle Guzma one last time themselves. Guzma relents and allows the player to enter Lusamine's mansion after falling once more. A short while later, he rushes to Lusamine's side after she opens the [[Ultra Wormhole]] using [[Cosmog (Pokémon)|Nebby]]'s powers, unleashing [[Ultra Beasts]] all over Alola. Encouraging Lusamine to capture the {{p|Nihilego}} that appears in the room so it can be used to crush the player and their friends, Guzma ends up in a battle with Hau while Gladion tries to defeat Nihilego and the player fights Lusamine. Upon her defeat, the Ultra Wormhole and Nihilego begin to disappear. Unwilling to let her plans be thwarted, Lusamine enters the portal, taking Guzma with her.

Guzma is not seen again until after the player and Lillie have helped Nebby recover and evolve from {{p|Cosmoem}} into {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}. The [[legendary Pokémon]] transports the player and Lillie into [[Ultra Space]], where they discover Guzma sitting alone, separated from Lusamine. He reveals that once they arrived in Ultra Space, he tried to capture a Nihilego of his own, only for it to use its parasitic powers to control him. Claiming that he has always lived his life making people afraid of him, Guzma admits that this experience has made him feel true fear for the first time, and warns the player and Lillie that they are stupid for coming to Ultra Space and tells them that Lusamine is too far gone into her insanity to be saved. He sits out and watches as the player battles Lusamine and subsequently separates her from the Nihilego she fused with using the aid of Solgaleo{{sup/7|S}}/Lunala{{sup/7|M}} and is saved from Ultra Space along with the others when Solgaleo{{sup/7|S}}/Lunala{{sup/7|M}} uses its powers to return them to the real world. Upon arrival, [[Hapu]] meets the group and has Guzma help her take away the unconscious Lusamine on her {{p|Mudsdale}}.

Once the player becomes [[Champion]], it is revealed that Guzma disbanded Team Skull after returning from Ultra Space. To reflect this new start in life, he no longer wears his gold chain bearing Team Skull's insignia, paints a red X over the insignia on his coat, removes his Team Skull tattoos and changes his sunglasses to a symmetrical pair of round lenses. He can be found in his parents' home on {{rt|2|Alola}}, where he tells the player to meet him on [[Hau'oli City]]'s beachfront. There, he expresses a continuing desire to finally defeat the player and challenges them once again. Upon his loss, [[Hala]] appears and tells him that he cannot win because he does not recognize his opponents' strength. Hala promises to make a fine trainer out of Guzma, and Guzma leaves after gifting the player his lucky charm, a {{DL|Evolutionary stone|Dawn Stone}}. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Moon]] only, he appears as a potential challenger and [[Multi Battle]] teammate at the [[Battle Tree]]. In Sun, this appearance is fulfilled by Plumeria instead.

Throughout the game, the player can discover hints about Guzma's past and motivations. He was once a prodigy who earned many trophies that are still on display in his parents' home, but his childhood is hinted to have been abusive; he eventually ran away from home after a violent confrontation with his father. Despite his best efforts, he was never able to live up to the standards necessary to become a captain before he grew too old. Becoming disillusioned due to this, he took on the leadership of Team Skull to fight back against Alola's traditions and assert his own strength. He ultimately fell under Lusamine's influence because she was the only adult who ever acknowledged his strength as a Trainer, inspiring his loyalty to her until the events in Ultra Space.
