Guzma is confrontational, quick to anger, and always ready to destroy things. He's more than a little arrogant when it comes to his skills in a Pokémon battle. He's cunning and clever, capable of thinking up strategies to defeat his opponent, however, his emotions easily can take over his mind. Deep down, he is a good guy, but it's very hard for him to actually show it because of the hardships he's faced in his life. Although he'll never admit it, he craves human approval.
