Pokémon Unite Buzzwole Gameplay Tips
Early Game
Buzzwole is more powerful than most Pokémon due to its strong basic abilities and the fact that it is fully evolved from the beginning of the game. As a result, Buzzwole should play aggressively in order to rack up some kills and win the lane, allowing them to snowball into the late game.
Buzzwole’s lane partner in the early game is usually a Support. It is critical to communicate with the partner in the lane about which plays to make. Buzzwole should be around level 7 when Drednaw spawns, and both abilities should be ready. By this point, Buzzwole should be attempting to fight for Drednaw.
Late Game
Due to his aggressive early-game play, Buzzwole ought to hold a tie-breaking advantage by the end of the game. You should use this level as much as possible to pressure your enemies.
Zapdos, like all other characters, must be included on the team. Buzzwole should try to strike a balance between tanking damage for teammates and picking out enemies in one-on-one duels once Zapdos spawns. The best way to do this is to choose a weak enemy to activate the Beast Boost passive and then use this boost to snowball and grow stronger throughout the fights.
Positioning of Buzzwole
Buzzwole is typically used in the bottom lane alongside a supporting Pokémon. On the other hand, Buzzwole can be played in the center lane due to his high attack damage and early power spikes.
Buzzwole excels in close-quarters one-on-one battles, so you should try to use its high damage and healing in teamfights in order to deal as much damage as possible. With Buzzwole, it is important to focus on eliminating enemies with higher health because Buzzwole can easily take out them and quickly stack the muscle gauge without taking much damage in return.
