LaneRoute Details
TopTop Recommendation level: ★★★
You can farm experience points safely as you'll likely have fewer team fights in the top lane, allowing you to cover your shortcomings in the early stages. Go to the top route if you want to consistently boost your level and gain Muscle Gauge.
MiddleMiddleRecommendation level: ★★・
Buzzwole can easily go mid and farm buffs to help the top or bottom lanes. However, since Buzzwole does not need to evolve so its best to give this area to other Pokemon who have poor performance in the early stages.
BottomBottomRecommendation level: ★★★
Massive Boon performs well in the early stages, so you may choose the easier path. Go aggressively if you don't have an ally with excellent performance in the early rounds. Make sure to get an Attacker or Supporter Pokemon to help you maintain the lane.

Buzzwole (Lv 7~) Strategy

Adapt Your Build To Your Attack Style

At level 6, you'll have the option of using Lunge or Smack Down. Lunge let you dash towards opponents, giving Buzzwole more chase potential. Likewise it can also be used to dodge incoming attacks.

If this move hits Pokemon from the opposing team, the user's muscle gauge increases by 1 increment for each one that was hit. After this move is used, the user's basic attack speed increases for a short time. A maximum of 2 uses can be kept in reserve for this move.

While the thrown Pokemon is airborne, the user can use this move again to perform a follow-up attack that smacks that Pokemon down to the ground, dealing damage to all opposing Pokemon in an area of effect centered on the point of impact. If this move deals damage to Pokemon on the opposing team, the user's muscle gauge increases by 1 increment for each one that was hit.

Cooldown 7.5 seconds

Distrupt Enemies With Disables

Massive Boon's strongest feature is its ability to disrupt, therefore using stuns to disable opponents will make it much easier to defeat them easily. During clashes, makes sure to isolate supporters and displace crowd controllers by knocking them down with a Superpower or recovering HP with Leech Life that can also so interrupt their moves so your allies gets the upper hand on team fights.

Wait Until The Last Minute Before Using Smack Down

Smack Down can be used again while the target is trapped mid-air. Reuse to go rapidly to the target and crash it into the ground. Wait until the target reaches the ground before using it again, then increase the duration of the effect to the maximum.

Unite Move: Ultra Swole Slam

Knock out targets with Smack Down to stun enemies in place before activating Ultra Swole Slam to get the most damage out of your Unite Move and knock down targets easily. Keep in mind that Buzzwole is temporarily disabled when performing its Unite Move. It is also effective to use it in conjunction with the opponent's hindering move to counter its status effects and deal damage.
