Buzzwole serves as a solid wall, as its typing lets it take on some of the most powerful attackers in the tier, such as Zamazenta, Kingambit, and Great Tusk. Ice Punch allows Buzzwole to threaten Ground-types such as Landorus-T, Garchomp, and Clodsire, as well as Dragon Dance Dragapult and Dragonite. Bulk Up accumulates boosts alongside Pokemon such as Howl Zamazenta, Dragon Dance Dragapult, and defensive Mega Scizor, meaning they cannot overwhelm Buzzwole. Toxic is a niche alternative if Buzzwole's team wishes to play more proactively, as it cripples the likes of Rotom-W, Tornadus-T, and Skeledirge that would otherwise take advantage of Buzzwole. Heavy-Duty Boots ignores entry hazards, letting Buzzwole consistently switch into the Pokemon it gets tasked to counter without being worn down. Tera Water gives Buzzwole a Water resistance, allowing it to wall Pokemon such as Urshifu-R, Floatzel, and Barraskewda in rain. The given EV spread maximizes Buzzwole's physical bulk while ensuring it always outspeeds Kingambit. Buzzwole fits best on defensive teams, which appreciate it as a fallback measure against the myriad of physical wallbreakers while not caring for its relative passivity. Pokemon such as Clodsire and Hippowdon can shore up Buzzwole's weakness to common special attackers such as Mega Diancie, Dragapult, and Tapu Koko. Buzzwole appreciates pivots such as Toxapex, Tornadus-T, and Gliscor, which can absorb chip damage from moves like Scald, Salt Cure and—for the latter two—Knock Off. Buzzwole has a tendency to thud into Pokemon like Tornadus-T and Tapu Lele if not using Toxic, so it pairs well with the likes of Gholdengo and Weavile that can exploit them.

Buzzwole serves as a solid wall, with its unique typing being able to take on some of the most powerful attackers in the tier, such as Zamazenta, Kartana if z giga is still real could be a lil questionable, and Great Tusk id also mention gambit since you dont care about ihead that much tbh. Ice Punch allows Buzzwole to threaten Ground-types such as Landorus-T, Garchomp, and Clodsire, as well as answering Dragon Dance Dragapult and Dragonite. Bulk Up accumulates boosts alongside Pokemon such as Howl Zamazenta, Dragon Dance Dragapult, and Mega Scizor dual wingbeat on 3a will slam you!, meaning they cannot overwhelm Buzzwole. Toxic is a niche alternate mention if Buzzwole's team wishes to play more proactively, as it cripples the likes of Rotom-W, Tornadus-T, and Skeledirge that would otherwise take advantage of Buzzwole. Heavy-Duty Boots ignores entry hazards, letting Buzzwole consistently switch into the Pokemon it gets tasked to counter without being worn down. Tera Water gives Buzzwole a Water resistance, allowing it to wall Pokemon such as Urshifu-R, Floatzel, and Barraskewda in rain. The given EV spread maximizes Buzzwole's physical bulk while ensuring it always outspeeds Kingambit. mention defensive 3a with rhelm + roost here Buzzwole fits best on defensive teams which appreciate it as a fallback measure against the myriad of physical wallbreakers while not caring for its relative passivity. Pokemon such as Clodsire and Hippowdon can shore up Buzzwole's weakness to common special attackers such as Mega Diancie, Dragapult, and Tapu Koko. Buzzwole appreciates pivots such as Toxapex, Tornadus-T, and Gliscor, which can absorb chip damage from moves like Scald, Salt Cure and - for the latter two - Knock Off.
