[VGC/Smogon OU] Buzzwole Moveset - Physical Attacker
Jan 20, 2017, 05:20 PM
Given that someone has actually top cut with this thing I think it's worth including the set that Brian Youm had success with.
Buzzwole @ Fightinium Z
Ability: Beast Boost
Level: 50
EVs: 148 HP / 172 Atk / 4 Def / 36 SpD / 148 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Leech Life
- Superpower
- Stone Edge
- Protect
The attack EVs have an 80% chance to OHKO P2 with Z-Superpower, outspeeds neutral base 65s like Pelipper and Sandslash outside of Hail and survives a Timid LO Dazzling Gleam from Koko (has a 62.5% chance of living from Modest) and a non-boosted Modest Dazzling Gleam from Lele 87.5% of the time.
The original version of this team used Rockium Z Buzzwole to KO things like Marowak, Arcanine (without the intimidate drop), Gyarados (with the intimidate drop), Incineroar etc. However Brian valued being able to chunk a large portion of the meta and OHKOing P2 more, as well as avoiding the drops from Superpower and gaining a free +1 from Beast Boost.
