Guzma is a character from Pokémon Sun and Moon. He is the leader of Team Skull, the seventh of many evil teams in the Pokémon series. Unlike previous teams, they do not mean evil, and are generally seen as misfits by the other characters. He has a close bond with Team Skull admin Plumeria.
He is a fan fave to the point of being a breakout character, and many fanworks focus on him.
