Buzzwole is a strong tank with the ability to check many of the physical attackers in the tier such as Tyranitar, Excadrill, and Meowscarada. Buzzwole sets itself apart from other physical walls with its high Attack stat and strong moves, allowing it to exert immediate pressure against the opposing team. Close Combat is Buzzwole's STAB move of choice, as its high Base Power is preferred over alternatives like Drain Punch against threats such as Scizor and Iron Hands. Earthquake is a solid coverage move that allows Buzzwole to threaten Iron Moth and Ceruledge, which would otherwise be able to switch in for free. The final moveslot offers a bit more flexibility, with Toxic being used the most in order to status common switch-ins such as Latios, Hippowdon, and Tangrowth. Alternatively, Thunder Punch can be utilized for more immediate pressure against Water- and Flying-types such as Tapu Fini and Enamorus. Finally, Bulk Up can be used on defensive teams to allow Buzzwole to act as a wincon. The Defense boosts can also help in one-on-one situations against other Attack-boosting threats such as Iron Hands. The Attack EVs ensure Buzzwole 2HKOs defensive Celesteela with Close Combat after Stealth Rock damage, while 112 Speed EVs allow Buzzwole to outspeed Adamant Tyranitar. This Speed benchmark is largely trivial, however, and can be adjusted to account for other specific threats such as Bisharp and Scizor. Buzzwole’s ability to switch into Ground- and Fighting-type moves is valued by Pokemon such as Iron Treads and Tyranitar, and its resistance to Bug and Dark is greatly appreciated by Psychic-types such as Mega Latias and Slowking. Due to its poor special bulk, Buzzwole can quickly be overwhelmed by strong special attackers and Future Sight. Therefore, it appreciates specially defensive teammates such as Blissey and Hippowdon. Physical wallbreakers are often paired with Future Sight support; therefore, Pokemon such as Celesteela and Mega Aggron can prove helpful because of their high Defense paired with a Psychic resistance. Pokemon that can cover Buzzwole's weaknesses to Flying, Fairy, Fire, and Psychic are also greatly appreciated. As such, Mega Latias, Clefable, and Tyranitar are natural partners.

Buzzwole is a strong physical tank with the ability to check many of the physical attackers in the tier, such as Tyranitar, Excadrill and Meowscarada. Include how Buzzwole also stands out in this role due to its offensive firepower, that upside is huge compared to other options like Skarm, Tang, Fini .etc Close Combat is the STAB move of choice, as its high power threatens to OHKO or at least severely dent many of the Pokemon it is used to check. Such as? things like Scizor come to mind when using CC over Drain Punch or etc Earthquake is a solid coverage move that allows Buzzwole to threaten Aegislash, Iron Moth, Arguably an even more important mention over the other two. and Galarian Slowking, which would otherwise be able to switch in for free. Roost is vital in order to keep Buzzwole healthy throughout the match. The final moveslot offers a bit more leniency, with Toxic being the most used in order to status common switch-ins such as Latios, Hippowdon or Tangrowth. Alternatively, Thunder Punch can be utilized for more immediate pressure against Water- and Flying-types such as Tapu Fini, Gyarados and Enamorus. Finally, Bulk Up can be used on defensive teams to allow Buzzwole to act as a win condition. Can state how the defense boost also makes it easier to 1v1 certain physical mons in a pinch, like SD Hands. 112 Speed EVs allow Buzzwole to outspeed Adamant Tyranitar and 32 Attack EVs ensure Aegislash is 2HKOd with Earthquake after Stealth Rock damage and Leftovers recovery. This Speed benchmark can be adjusted to also outspeed stuff like Adamant Scizor/Bisharp as. the defense is mostly filler, be sure to talk about it being an option. The remaining EVs are used to maximize its physical bulk. Buzzwole’s ability to switch into Ground and Fighting moves is valued by Pokemon such as Iron Treads and Tyranitar, and its resistance to Bug and Dark is greatly appreciated by Psychic types such as Mega Latias and Galarian Slowking. Due to its poor special bulk, Buzzwole can quickly be overwhelmed by strong special attackers and Future Sight. Important too since you commonly see this with stuff like Tar Therefore it really welcomes specially defensive teammates such as Blissey or Galarian Slowking. Expand on this to include stuff that don't really mind the combo of physical breaker + Future Sight, like Steela or anything like it that also pivots into GKing directly. Pokemon that can cover its weaknesses to Flying, Fairy, Fire and Psychic are also greatly appreciated. As such, Mega Latias, Aegislash and Tyranitar make for natural partners.

Most of the changes were minor and just expanding on existing apps, so this works out.
1/1 when implemented.

Buzzwole is a strong physical tank with the ability to check many of the physical attackers in the tier (no need for two mentions of "physical"), (RC, removed for better sentence flow) such as Tyranitar, Excadrill, (AC) and Meowscarada. Buzzwole sets itself apart from other physical walls with its high Attack stat and strong moves, allowing it to exert immediate pressure against the opposing team. Close Combat is the Buzzwole's STAB move of choice, as its high Base Power power is preferred against threats such as such as Scizor or Iron Hands. Earthquake is a solid coverage move that allows Buzzwole to threaten Aegislash, Iron Moth, (AC) and Galarian Slowking, which would otherwise be able to switch in for free. Roost is vital in order to keep Buzzwole healthy throughout the match. The final moveslot offers a bit more leniency, with Toxic being used the most the most used in order to status common switch-ins such as Latios, Hippowdon, (AC) or Tangrowth. Alternatively, Thunder Punch can be utilized for more immediate pressure against Water- and Flying-types such as Tapu Fini, Gyarados, (AC) and Enamorus. Finally, Bulk Up can be used on defensive teams to allow Buzzwole to act as a win condition wincon (a win condition is a circumstance in which a game can be won, while wincon is a Pokemon that aims to win through setup). The Defense boosts can also help in one on one one-on-one situations against other physical Attack-boosting threats such as Iron Hands and Aegislash (reworded for clarity: what are Iron Hands and Aegi boosting?). 32 Attack EVs ensure Aegislash is 2HKOed with Earthquake after Stealth Rock damage and Leftovers recovery, while and 112 Speed EVs allow Buzzwole to outspeed Adamant Tyranitar (removes repetition of and). This Speed benchmark is largely trivial however and can be adjusted to account for other specific threats such as Bisharp or Scizor. The remaining EVs are used to maximize its Buzzwole's physical bulk. Buzzwole’s ability to switch into Ground- and Fighting-type moves is valued by Pokemon such as Iron Treads and Tyranitar, and its resistance to Bug and Dark is greatly appreciated by Psychic types such as Mega Latias and Galarian Slowking. Due to its poor special bulk, Buzzwole can quickly be overwhelmed by strong special attackers and Future Sight. Therefore, it really welcomes (odd wording, a change to "appreciates" would probably be better) specially defensive teammates such as Blissey or Galarian Slowking. Physical wallbreakers are often paired with Future Sight support;, (remove comma, add semicolon) therefore, (AC) mixed walls that can take on physical wallbreakers while also being able to withstand Future Sight such as Celesteela and Mega Aggron can prove helpful (this sentence is very clunky, perhaps split it into two or cut the phrase to "mixed walls that can withstand Future Sight and take on physical wallbreakers"). Pokemon that can cover its Buzzwole's weaknesses to Flying, Fairy, Fire, (AC) and Psychic are also greatly appreciated. As such, Mega Latias, Aegislash, (AC) and Tyranitar make for are natural partners.
