This section, or a part of it, has been transcluded from Guzma; any changes involving it should be made there instead. / Guzma is a young man with white hair top with a shaved lower black, dark eyes and black eyebrows. He wears a black jacket with a zigzag pattern on both sides of his jacket, which has the Team Skull logo on the back. He also wears a white shirt, some black pants with two white X's under his knees and pair of white shoes. Guzma also has a purple tattoo of Team Skull on his left arm and a golden watch, while on his right hand are black and white bracelets. He also wears sunglasses with a golden frame (with one of the glasses being bent) and a locket that has the yellow logo of Team Skull. in the past, Guzma had a light black hair top before he dyed it white. He also wore a shirt with a purple design, a brown wristband and black jacket and pants without white zig-zag patterns.

Guzma is a violent individual, with loads of arrogance to hold himself as the strongest trainer around. Thus, he perceives the Pokémon League as a thing that he needs to demolish, and to destroy trainers' dreams of becoming the Champion, including proving himself stronger without Kahuna Trials and Island Challenges nor using Z-Moves. Despite this, he is popular among the Team Skull grunts, who view him as the king of outcasts. Guzma is shown to battle his opponents cleverly, using strategy in order to win despite his opponents' unfair advantage. For instance, he and Scizor used Ilima's Kangaskhan's child as a shield during their battle. However, he can get easily frustrated if his battle tactics don't work well as he has planned, and will lash out at anybody, such as his Golisopod, to take the blame. As the battle went on, Guzma began to admit his own cowardice and Golisopod convinced him to let go of his fears of losing so they can keep battling until the end.

His English and Japanese name, Guzma, both come from "guzmania", another name for the tufted airplant.

Guzma was involved in an incident involving his Island Kahuna and Kukui: Kukui befriended Guzma during his time as a student in the Pokémon School. He had a battle with him, and won that battle, and commented that Guzma could do well if he would befriend his Golisopod. Elsewhere, Guzma was deeply frustrated that he could not defeat Professor Kukui, considering both Kukui and Guzma were Hala's apprentices. Unfortunately, Guzma began to rebel after rejecting the traditions of Alola region like Kahuna Trials and Island Challenges, as well as the international tournament leagues. Hala shook his head, while Kukui tried to calm Guzma down. Guzma slapped Kukui's hand and refused, and claimed he would get stronger on his own without the need Z-Rings or Z-Crystals and he ran away. This tragedy caused both Hala and Kukui to blame themselves for not being there to support Guzma for the righteousness path. Ever since he ran away from Hala and Professor Kukui, Guzma was amassing outcasts and misfits, who shared similar feelings with him. Guzma gave his Team Skull subordinates a home on Ula'ula Island, where the grunts cheered for him, viewing him as an idol. Guzma proclaimed he was undefeatable, but in truth, he simply chose the fights he knew he would win.

Guzma returned to the ruined mansion, where he was welcomed by Team Skull grunts. Tupp, Rapp and Zipp came after him, and told him about the news of the Pokémon League (Alola). Guzma was intrigued, and watched the news of a meeting, where Island Kahuna explained the concept. After the news were over, Guzma swore to destroy the League, and braced his men to go to Melemele Island. The next day, Guzma, accompanied by Tupp, Rapp, Zipp and Plumeria, encountered Team Rocket. Plumeria wanted to battle them, but Guzma decided to take this fight personally, as a practice before facing Professor Kukui. It was soon after when Team Skull walked away from Team Rocket, who were beaten up. At the Pokémon School, Tupp, Rapp and Zipp called upon Professor Kukui, daring him to a battle. He came down, and stopped when he saw Guzma. The heroes came, too, while Plumeria announced a special match between Kukui and Guzma, as the latter promised to destroy the former. In fact, Guzma, referring to the League, found it amusing for Kukui to replace traditions. However, he didn't want the concept of the Pokémon League, to have trainers battle each other to prove who's the strongest one, thinking everyone else was very weak. In fact, Guzma claimed he was the strongest around. Kukui dared Guzma to simply enter the League and prove those words, but Guzma was not amused. Ash stepped forward, and decided to battle Guzma, who noticed his Z-Ring. The latter noticed Ash was like Kukui, but was impressed by his stubbornness, and accepted his challenge. He sent Golisopod against Ash's Pikachu.
