Everything else we know about Buzzwole

Buzzwole made its first appearance in Pokémon Go at the in-person Go Fest event held in Seattle during July 2022. This meant it was exclusive to players who attended this event until August 2022, when it became available worldwide for the first time as part of the Go Fest 2022 Finale event.

As part of Gen 7, Buzzwole debuted in Pokémon Sun and Moon where it could be encountered during the postgame of Sun.

Buzzwole’s appearance is a strange combination of a mosquito and bodybuilder. This not only fits into the idea that, as an Ultra Beast, Buzzwole hails from a realm outside of the Pokémon universe, but makes the idea of encountering it in real life utterly terrifying. I mean, mosquitos are troublesome enough…

Good luck catching Buzzwole in Pokémon Go!
