MetaMons competitive notes

Buzzwole is a bug/fighting-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 570 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 79) and a physical attacking profile. Its Beast Boost ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Buzzwole. Build around what Buzzwole actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
