  Funny story, when I showed Guzzlord to my cousin for the first time, he said “that’s the angriest lobster I’ve ever seen”

  I think naganadel and guzzlord are friends because naganadel can telepathically communicate with guzzlord. Guzzlord doesn’t really seem to be able to talk, so it makes sense it would get attached to the first being it could have a conversation with

  I think that Guzzlord being weak to fairies is fitting given the association fairies have with nature.

  I feel like Naganadel&apos;s vague resemblance to Ridley from Metroid was a deliberate design inspiration. He&apos;s a space dragon after all.

  I personally really like the implication of clowns being an invasive species with blacephalon

  My take on the connection between Naganadel and Guzzlord is that Guzzlord is the only other Pokémon (Ultra Beast or otherwise) that is willing to eat something with that sticky poison all over it. If Naganadel uses its poison to defeat an enemy and doesn&apos;t eat it, nothing is going to want to touch it, especially with how sticky the goop is, making cleaning it off an impossibility. Guzzlord, on the other claw, will happily gulp down anything covered in the goop, including whatever terrain it&apos;s stuck to.

  If Poipole and Naganadel are based on wasps/bees, and Guzzlord is a corrupted/twisted mirror Zygarde, then I think the reason they’re friends is pretty obvious.<br><br>I mean the embodiment of the ecosystem, and one of its critical pollinators? Naganadel are probably critical to the life cycle of all Guzzlord’s favorite fruits. And since Naganadel is telepathic, Guzzlord doesn’t have to hurt his throat screaming at them to talk!<br><br>Clearly a match made in Ultra Heaven.

  Talking about Poipole&apos;s name etymology, something that seems to be missing is the &quot;Poi&quot; part. Poi is the name of a sticky purple taro paste made in the Pacific Islands which seems to fit the sticky glue and purple theme.

  I love the idea that Poipole is a member of a starter trio in another dimension

  maybe they&apos;re friends to form a sort of symbiotic relationship? they sort of cover each other&apos;s theoretical weaknesses, and being rooted in place by glue while a guzzlord barrels towards you is SUCH an intimidating thought

  I would love to hear what kind of direction Guzzlord‘s voice actor got.<br>“OK so like what kind of voice are you going for kind of like deep and spooky or like-“<br>“Oh no no no we have a much better idea for how we’re gonna do this Pokémon. So what you’re going to do is go into the booth and scream as loud as you possibly can directly into the microphone.”<br>“A-are you sure about tha-“<br>“Yes, now get in the booth.”
