10 Terrifying Secrets Hidden In Pokémon Games
3. Guzzlord Is A Lovecraftian Nightmare
Some Pokémon trainers retire from their journeys after defeating the Elite Four and, with how divisive they are, nobody can really blame players for abandoning Sun and Moon at this point. Ergo, a lot of people never really dug into the massive amount of post-game optional content.
If you thought Pokémon that are upset spirits or haunted bug carapaces were bad, it’s about to go to a whole other level. The big hook of this goes further than Pokémon ever has before, looking at invading species from a different dimension.
These “Ultra Beasts” are cosmic Pokémon from an unknowable universe, bleeding through into our own through wormholes.
The concept of that is bad enough, but the “big boss” of the bunch is perhaps the worst, and very clearly a Lovecraftian nightmare in its own right.
Guzzlord by name and nature, this 18 foot tall maw devours worlds without causing any waste, acting like a gigantic living black hole. That is quite literally the definition of cosmic horror. And you, as the player, have come so far now that you must face down this monstrosity and either defeat it, or put it in a tiny sphere and keep it.
Good luck.
