After Guzma disbands Team Skull, he uses red tape to cover the Team Skull logo at the back of his jacket. He also removes his tattoos from his arms and his yellow Team Skull amulet.

Personality: A dark individual, Guzma wishes to sow fear and chaos among Alola who bears an intimidating look, which has granted him a lot of respect, even among those not of Team Skull. Guzma sometimes behaves erratically when being defeated.

As later revealed, however, he lacks confidence and desperately wants to be taken seriously as a Trainer, something Lusamine took advantage of to trick him into serving as her hidden enforcer. For all of his posturing, he does have a conscience, realizing upon seeing how obsessed Lusamine is with Ultra Beasts and her cold attitude towards the destruction they cause that he has become a danger to the world at large and turns against her. He has several mental breakdowns if seems himself losing or as the "number two", gripping his own hair and yelling at himself reclaims as "What is wrong with you, Guzma?!"

Speech style: He speaks in a coarse, working-class way, uses bad words.

Background/Lore: Pokémon Sun and Moon Guzma originally aspired to become a Trial Captain with Professor Kukui. He was even Hala's apprentice to train in battling. While he was a talented trainer in his own right, having won many trophies and awards, he also struggled to in his efforts to be the best, never once having placed first in any tournaments. It is also implied that he suffered domestic abuse from his father and he ran away from home to escape it. He was also rejected as Trial Captain for unknown reasons. After failing to become a Trial Captain, Guzma formed Team Skull with other kids who failed the Trial vowing to destroy the very same traditions that shattered his dreams.

He is first encountered at Malie Garden and mocks Professor Kukui for trying to create the Alolan version of the Pokémon League. He then battles the player character after seeing the Z-Ring. He ends up losing and leaves. He is then encountered at Po Town after a couple of Team Skull Grunts stole a kid's Yungoos. The player character is the only one who offers to got get the Pokémon back in the cursed town. He is at the top of the mansion and has a lot of Buginium Z, collected from the whole Alola. He is defeated yet again and leaves the room, leaving free to grab a Buginium Z as reward. He is later revealed to be working with Lusamine, because she had pointed out how strong he was and he fell for her words of trust. He blocks the entrance to the mansion where Lusamine's secret lab is. After the wormhole is opened, he follows Lusamine into Ultra Space. The rest of the team ask of the player character to rescue their boss. The player character meets him after his encounter with a Nihilego. He states that its the first time he has actually been scared. He is teleported out by Solgaleo or Lunala after the battle with the Ultra Beasts. He realizes how pointless Team Skull really was and disbands it, becoming a normal Trainer.

The player character, after becoming the Champion, is able to find him in his parent's house, where he challenges the player for one last battle. Once defeated he'll give a Dawn Stone as reward, stating it's his lucky charm.

Post battle, the player can find him in the Battle Tree as a potential challenger and partner for recruitment.

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon He is mostly the same in the original game, when the player and Lillie prepare to open the Ultra Wormhole to pursue Guzma and Lusamine into Ultra Space, the duo are thrown out of a wormhole before the player and Lillie can do so. They are followed by Necrozma, who attacks and absorbs Nebby before opening many Ultra Wormholes and fleeing back to Ultra Megalopolis. After the player defeated Necrozma in Ultra Megalopolis, Guzma has regained consciousness and reflects on the conversation he overhears about working together with others. Later, during the game's credits, he and Plumeria are shown at the Shady House announcing that he is disbanding of Team Skull to his team members.

During Episode RR, Guzma reappears at Team Rocket's Castle to assist the player against a pair of Team Rainbow Rocket Grunts. He mentions that while he has nothing anymore, not even Team Skull, there are certain things he can't let go of, and by invading Aether Paradise, Team Rainbow Rocket has violated one of those things. He remains in the lobby of the castle, holding off two Grunts while the player defeats the various bosses in the castle en route to Giovanni, who has Lusamine to be his hostage. Later, once the player has defeated Giovanni, he appears with Wicke and Colress as Lusamine regains consciousness and witnesses Faba's downfall.

In the post-game, Guzma also appears at the Battle Tree in Ultra Moon. He can also appear as a potential challenger during Title Defense battles at the Pokémon League. He seems to come from a broken house, with an abusive father figure that expected perfecction from him and mistreating him in case he didnt reach his expectations.
