Torrentgame – In the Pokémon universe, villainous teams are a staple of the franchise, from simple extortionists to world-dominating schemers. These groups often meet their downfall at the hands of a 10-year-old hero, which shows that, despite their evil ambitions, even the most dangerous criminals have their limits. However, a recent Pokémon spinoff game has revealed that one villain is willing to cross a horrifying line in his pursuit of power.
A datamine of upcoming Pokémon Masters EX content has unveiled a new Sync Pair featuring the notorious Giovanni and the terrifying Ultra Beast, Guzzlord. The shocking detail here is in the flavour text for Giovanni, which reveals that he uses Guzzlord’s insatiable hunger to dispose of anyone who stands in the way of Team Rocket. Essentially, Giovanni is feeding his enemies to Guzzlord, a creature with an appetite so vast it’s said to be never-ending.
Why Giovanni Was Always Pokémon’s Most Ruthless Villain
Giovanni has always stood out as one of the darkest characters in the Pokémon universe. While other villains were known for being flashy or eccentric, Giovanni was a true criminal mastermind, running complex extortion schemes and criminal enterprises. His cold, calculated nature made him a much more sinister presence than most of his counterparts.
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, players were introduced to an alternate universe version of Giovanni who leads Team Rainbow Rocket. This group consisted of multiversal versions of other notorious Pokémon villain leaders, all attempting to use Ultra Beasts to conquer the multiverse. As expected, the player characters thwarted their plans, but Giovanni’s ambitions remain unchecked in this new iteration, where he doesn’t hesitate to use Guzzlord as a literal body disposal system for anyone who dares challenge him.
Why Guzzlord Is the Perfect Weapon for Giovanni’s Cruelty
The idea of Giovanni feeding enemies to Guzzlord makes perfect sense in the context of Pokémon’s darker side. While most Pokémon are presented as cute, cuddly companions, the reality of the Pokémon world is far more dangerous. Many Pokémon, including Guzzlord, possess terrifying powers that could easily make them lethal. In fact, countless Pokémon species could pose a genuine threat to humans if misused by the wrong people.
Giovanni’s willingness to use Guzzlord as a tool of terror highlights how dangerous the Pokémon universe can be when in the wrong hands. His actions in Pokémon Masters EX acknowledge this grim reality, and it’s a refreshing change for the series to dive into the darker aspects of its world.
Our Take: Embrace the Darker Side of Pokémon
While Pokémon is known for its lighthearted adventures, it’s also a universe where many creatures have the potential for destruction. Guzzlord’s use as a literal body disposal system in Giovanni’s quest for power reminds us of the raw, untapped danger lurking within the Pokémon world. It’s an unsettling but intriguing element that should be explored more often.
We applaud Pokémon Masters EX for acknowledging the darker side of the Pokémon universe and showing that, sometimes, the true villain in a Pokémon game isn’t just the people who scheme for world domination—but the deadly creatures they control.
