I mean, no offense to circus folk, but most traveling entertainment troupes are. They're outsiders to just about every town they show up in, bringing in all their gizmos and animals and lights, and then after a period they just sort of move on. There's a reason why it's a trope in media to have a shady group of characters roll into town offering something for the curious and gullible and causing trouble for the authorities trying to either handle them or the angry folk who want them booted out. (And, granted, there's also a lot of media that uses it as a red herring since of course the weirdos with no one to vouch for them since they're strangers are some of the first subjects but it turns out many of the members want to help solve whatever trouble there is too.) But whether it's a bunch of clowns, a freak show, or some kind of performance group, it always alters the entire town they dropped into for better or worse depending on the story. Which I'm sure has some level of historic truth to it given how old theatre is and tales of these travelers bringing music and entertainment on their way to other places. To the outsider there's probably a sort of magic to it how something so out of the ordinary just drops by, makes lasting memories and then disappears. (And who knows, the clowns kidnapping children trope is just as much the dark side of the run away with the circus trope)
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

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'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's stuck to.

I agree, Guzzlord sees a creature that immobilizes other creatures, but doesn't do anything with them? Free buffet. Naganadel doesn't mind cause this new massive hungry friend doesn't seem to bother him.
For Guzzlord, some dragon mythos has it that they can eat pretty much anything for sustenance, even rocks and dirt. For Naganadel, insects have their vital organs in their back body segment. So it's brain isn't too much of a stretch. As for their friendship, a quick Google search for a relationship between crabs and wasps revealed that wasps can help red crabs be safe from yellow crazy ants and there's a type of hermit crab that seems to have a wasp nest on/for its hidey shell. Nature is crazy cool sometimes.

I can see the mutualistic aspect-Guzzlord protects Naganadel's hive and Naganadel and its Poipole workers treat and feed Guzzlord like it's part of the hive.
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. 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! Clearly a match made in Ultra Heaven.
Talking about Poipole's name etymology, something that seems to be missing is the "Poi" 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.
Given Naganadel's psionic capabilities and its non-invasive nature, it's distinctly possible that it uses the aforementioned telepathy to keep Guzzlord on task, making Naganadel & Guzzlord a Brains + Brawn combo, mirroring Pheromosa & Buzzwole
I would love to hear what kind of direction Guzzlord‘s voice actor got. “OK so like what kind of voice are you going for kind of like deep and spooky or like-“ “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.” “A-are you sure about tha-“ “Yes, now get in the booth.”
I wonder if Guzzlord takes the reincarnation aspect of one of its inspirations to heart and is what happens to Zyguarde if the environment is screwed over by humans hard enough

I noticed something. Eternatus has the same type combonation as Nagenadel and Poipole (No duh), and it resembles the Queen Xenomorph does it not? And the poipole line Is inspired by the xenomorph design as said by their designer, And also it looks So Alien compared to Zacian and Zamazenta which is odd for a third legendary might I add, so theoretically Eternatus could be a Sub species or a related species Of Naganadel and we do see Ultra Beasts in Galar like in the crown Tundra and that one episode in journeys with the shiny Nihelego. So Eternatus could be an Ultra beast that traveled to Galar in ancient times and caused the Darkest day to occur

One stray thought I had about naga and guzz's duo thing is that maybe it's like silver surfer and galactus. Naga being the surfer is sending poipoles out to warn/colonize for the arrival of the big bad eating machine being guzzlord and galactus. Idk how well this idea will hold, I haven't read dex entries, nor seen the anime since b&w, but I think this could be why they were paired. Like an alien fleet sending the scouts and cruisers before the mothership comes to destroy the planet or something
So, maybe the two Pokémon are often paired up relates to terraforming in a way. Guzzlord would destroy every within an area, while Naganadel would build in up from that to create a hive? That's the only thing that comes to mind for me personally.

Guzzlord being constantly hungry makes me wonder how it’s own world is even sustained what with there being so many apparently. My personal theory is that what we know as Guzzlord is not it’s true form. Rather, something about our dimension causes its body to bloat and expand into the beast we’re familiar with, with its endless appetite being the only thing that can keep it sustained. Basically, think of how abyssal sea creatures need all the pressure down there to maintain their odd shapes, and would die if they ascended too high. Guzzlord experiences a drastic shift in “spatial” pressure upon entering our dimension, giving it that grotesque form we know.
What I’m about to say is probably a stretch, but with what you said about Poiple being the “kid friendly” alien, the reason Naganadel and Guzzlord are paired together might be that Naganadel is the rest of Poiple’s “people” that aren’t as friendly and hellbent on invading/destroying Earth, and Guzzlord is their “Mothership” or “Ultimate Weapon” of sorts, which was made to invade/destroy Earth.
Maybe Guzzlord and Naganadel are pictured together because they can somewhat cover each other in an "I got your back if you got my back" kind of partnership, with the dark Guzzlord being unfazed by the psycic types who threaten Naganadel while its poison is able to keep the fairy types at bay who could decimate the quad weak Guzzlord.

Naganadel, witnessing the whole thing and not wanting the young Guzzlord's entire life to be defined by one bad choice it made in while it was hungry, spoke to the space police on it's behalf and got them to drop the sentence to just a small fine and some light community service cleaning up the rubble of what I'm sure used to be someone's house before Guzzlord got to it.

I can never get over that Guzzlord scream. Your version is better than the anime's.
Here's a thought what if naganadel is friends with nuzzlord because of symbiosis of one massive predator being assisted or aided by a smaller flying creature, or maybe naganadel is a scavenger finding prey left over from a great predators rampage.
Love the connection between Zygarde and Guzzlord
Naganadel's glue stops Guzzlord's food from trying to escape. Guzzlord give Naganadel, a very social pokemon, someone to socialize with.
Thinking about the whole Guzzlord VS Zygarde thing, it occurs to me that with it's legs, it's pointy head, and massive tongue-mouth-tentacle-claw things, Guzzlord looks vaguely like a W, which contrasts with the Z from Zygarde 50%'s serpentine form.
For those who don't know the Guzlord screams that TerminalMontage uses is from the "It's Wednesday my dudes" video.
They were paired up simply because the Ultra Beast tag and the Tag Team tag were pretty important during the seventh generation, and they wanted cards with both tags on them. Since a requirement for a Tag Team is for both pokemon involved to share a type, it makes sense they chose to pair Naganadel & Guzzlord, and also Buzzwole & Pheromosa. Bummer we never got Celesteela & Stakataka, tho.
Here's a classic joke to use Yo mama so fat when she went to the pokemon world everyone shouted "Look Out! A Wild Guzzlord Appeared!"
I think naganadel being paired with guzzlord is more of a rivals working together kinda thing, guzzlord is a villain and naganadel is a hero
16:27 I never would’ve thought to put Stitch, The Iron Giant, and E.T. into the same category of “nice aliens that befriend a human kid.” They’re all just so different Also two of them were literally created to be weapons of mass destruction
I've always had a headcanon that guzzlord are middle stage Pokémon, one that is constantly eating to get enough energy to evolve, the evolution becoming a more efficient hunter due to losing its ability to consume everything like a black hole
I always drew a comparison between Guzzlord and Hydreigon: They're both Dark/Dragon. They both have multiple mouths and multiple sets of eyes. Both are known for their dangerous demeanor. In addition, the Deino line can be found naturally in Alola. In USUM, Guzzlord's ultra space implies that the planet was ruined by pollution, to the point the planet was abandoned. So, I always thought that Guzzlord was a Deino-line pokemon that mutated due to radiation.
The Ultra Beasts could also be based off the 7 Deadly Sins (at least the original 7 can be) Nihilego - Envy Buzzwole - Pride Pheromosa - Lust Xurkitree - Greed Kartana - Wrath Celesteela - Sloth Guzzlord - Gluttony

Me just arriving to be blasted with a Zygarde = Guzzlord theory: Oh, Ok.
I mean, you could probably say that Naganadel is partially based on the Giant Asian Hornet, they're big and invasive
on the Guzzlord-Zygarde theory, I wondered if maybe Guzzlord took some inspiration from cancer cells, because Zygarde is based on regular cells, and Guzzlord is incredibly dangerous, consuming whatever it comes across, like how cancer destroys the body. it would also explain Guzzlord's bloated shape, like a tumour.

Looking at naganadale's home world and the fact that I doubt that guzzlord is found in its home world in the game maybe, just hear me out, maybe they are from the same home world. Cause being honest its kind weird that you can only find ONE typeof pokemon in each ultraworm hole.
Something I've noticed between Zygarde complete and Guzzlord is actually a parallel to tengen toppa Gurren Lagann. The final form of Gurren Lagann, the titular Tengen toppa Gurren Lagann, is the complete form of the mecha. Granzeboma, the anti spiral mecha, is quite literally a dark reflection of TTGL.
you are officially my favourite channel. i cought two shinies while watching your videos
Giratina and Garchomp in the card game are also portrayed teaming up and they are dragon type.
I love the idea that Poipole is a starter and it stands to reason that if you got two more Ultra Beast starters they'd be Yellow and Cyan in coloration. The Normal Starters are Red, Blue and Green, primary colors on the light spectrum, so with Poipole and 2 others you'd get the secondary colors. I would absolutely love to see what those starters are, what types would match those colors/type match with Poison. My biggest issue is that Poipole only has 1 evolution compared to the usual 2 you get from a starter, but hey maybe that's just the standard in ultra space.
I personally believe that Guzzlord is the final stage of another starter Pokemon, but this starter is so small that you can’t see it. It also lives inside the mouths of Guzzlord and devours all the food Guzzlord provides them.
I've been loving this series so far!! I love the ultra beasts and especially love the ultra recon squad so seeing them get a shout out here was especially fun! These videos have been so cool and informative and has really opened my eyes on a lot of the beasts designs! Im excited for the next one!
Thank you for a video on the eve of the -let games' (Scarlet and Violet) release that contained no spoilers for them, for those of us trying to go in as fresh as possible.
There are many things that make me wonder if developers actually hide something or just want us to think they do.

I think they have alot of ideas that just don’t make it into the game since Gamefreak seems to prioritize simplicity when it comes to lore. So we see little hints of what could’ve been.

Some ideas that don't appear in the games might get used by the anime, I guess.

The touch of you and your Helix mattress "smoking" a poki after, what I can assumo was "a great night of sleep" didn't go unoticed. Nice touch hehe
Honestly, reciting a whole sponsorship read to a friend without skipping a beat is absolutely hilarious
Personally I liked your idea about Guzzlord being a caterpillar and Naganadel waiting for the cocoon. Then again, it’s just the TCG so maybe it’s just doing TCG things.
It be cool to see what other starters where their if there's more than than just poipole, also to play as the recon squad in there world.
Maybe Guzzlord being Dark and Naganadel being Poison have more to do with it? Like one is a toxic influence and the other is prone to violence. There's a skill in Miiverse where a person sticks a fork in another Mii's butt and they attack the enemy for extra power, so maybe it's similar here?
Inkay > upside down > Malamar Poipole > NOT upside down > STILL NOT UPSIDE DOWN?!
I feel like Guzzlord would probably stick around with Naganadel due to the latter having the ability to stick foes in place, making Guzzlord's job easier. And maybe since Naganadel isn't as strong as the other ultra beasts (Stat wise at least), it probably benefits from being around the big powerful guy that can ward off most things that would be dangerous to Naganadel
14:53 Actually you raise a really good point! To further fit in with the invasive animal theme, there's been a few occasions where an invasive species has its natural predator imported in to deal with it, only for that species to become invasive as well as it starts realizing other animals in the area would serve as just as viable if not better prey. Naganadel being what would normally be Guzzlord's natural predator would check out a lot in this sense.
Maybe the reason guzzlord and naganadel are a pair is because guzzlord eats a landscape for naganadel to make a nest and in return the naganadel and its poiple glue down prey for it.
Naganadels brain remaining in the abdomen as it evolves is similar to how most snails organs move and rotate as they grow.
I’m not sure how I would go about getting his attention in this matter, but I think with all the talk of invasive species and environment destruction on his channel, Lockstin would be very helpful at directing people to causes and charities for environment sustainment, to help those who struggle finding a good charity of the subject to donate to.
I mean, we don't know much if anything about Ultra Beasts in general, and even less so about Guzzlord. Since "it's droppings were never found", there's a possibilty conveyor inspiration for it's tongue goes further than we imagine, and it ends not just in a blackhole, but in some sort of shut of a portal to a pocket dimension, or even just to a specific place in Ultra Dimension, where everything every Guzzlord out there eats ends up. And such a hidey hole tends to attract any sort of quarrelsome invasive tenants, like wasps. So, perhaps, it's not that Guzzlord likes Naganadel so much, but rather that latter makes itself home inside vast secure expanses of Guzzlord's belly and circles around just outside, like a wasp guarding it's nest.
Naganadel is friends with Guzzlord because nobody else would hang out with a screaming black hole. Communal insect monster sees the benefit in cooperating with the most powerful thing that nothing else can tolerate. Naganadel also flies, so it's not in danger of being eaten, unlike the other known Ultra Beast.
I still see this thing as nothing but a trash compactor. A Lovecraftian trash compactor. XD
Don't you just love what they practically confirm something but then say sorry this NDA won't let me explicitly tell you
Here's another reference for Guzzlord, it is the ultra beast who ultra space location isn't its home world. It's very much implied that Guzzlord wasn't original from the ultra ruins and the anime flat out says it wasn't, this further hints at the idea that the Ultra Beast are invasive species.
I think the reason Guzzlord and Naganadel are Allie’s is because they can counter the weaknesses of the other. Naganadel being Poison is succeptable to Ghost, which Guzzlord can counter. Guzzlord being dark is succeptable to Fairy, which Naganadel can counter. Also, with all the organic life Guzzlord consumes and ‘excretes’, Naganadel and it’s Poipole could make the whole planet that Guzzlord consumes into another giant Poipole hive!
I thought this video would be about Scarlet and Violet new dex. Pls do a live reaction or somethin like it, before all the cool explanations! Edit: It's funny how you actually changed the title XD
Remember when the pokemon were polygons
There’s a few things to compare and contrast the two besides their dragon typing. Some similarities: they both have weird glowing cyan colored eyes and are the only ones to have them. Stakataka too but theirs turn red when attacking so it’s different. While Naga doesn’t have a cyan inner mouth, Poipole does like Guzz. They both also have very similar three fingered hands and claws and they got a lot of spikes. Contrasts: Guzzlord is a walking apocalypse while the Poipole is much more benevolent and intelligent. Guzzlord’s accent color is yellow while Naganadel’s is Magenta, both of which are secondary colors along with cyan; the color of their eyes. Guzz is huge and stocky while Naga’s slender and more streamlined and can fly. Linking the two of them with all of this is the fact that they were both designed by the same person; James Turner. James also designed Poi and Naga’s shinies, not Guzz or Buzzwole’s though (because he designed Buzz too.)
Poiple would make great partnerships with Grafaiai they both make paints, they’re both poison type, yeah, they have a lot in common if it wasn’t for the fact that they are from different dimensions
