Buzzwole @ Choice Band
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Ice Punch
- Leech Life
- Poison Jab / Earthquake

Choice Band Buzzwole acts as a powerful wallbreaker in OU that still has useful defensive qualities such as checking Kartana and Garchomp. Paired with its great Attack stat, Beast Boost allows Buzzwole to easily snowball with its strong STAB moves in Close Combat and Leech Life. With its coverage options, it can hit a wide variety of Pokemon that attempt to switch in on Buzzwole's STAB moves; foes such as Tornadus-T and Landorus-T get hit with Ice Punch, whereas other common Buzzwole checks like Clefable and Tapu Fini fear Poison Jab. Earthquake can be used over Poison Jab to instead hit Toxapex for super effective damage. This set helps open holes for Buzzwole's partners like Heatran, letting it fire off Magma Storm and Toxic without worrying about Tapu Fini. Since Buzzwole is prone to getting revenge killed by faster Pokemon like Tapu Lele, Tornadus-T, Dragapult, and Tapu Koko while also being forced out by Volcarona, pairing Buzzwole with checks to these threats such as Ferrothorn, Clefable and Rotom-W is important.
