Can someone get it through my thick skull why everyone thinks Baby Buzzwole from FLI is good and should be teched in to every Buzzwole deck? Okay, it does 120 for 1. It can go up to 170. (1 Strong Energy, 1 Choice Band.) Great. Now you used it once and never again the entire game. Or, you can just use regular 'swole's Knuckle Impact for 210.
Why, folks? WHY?!
 
With damage modifiers like Diancie, Regirock, Strong/Beast Energy and CB, baby Buzz can OHKO Inkays and Malamars, it OHKOes a Zorua without anything and can 2HKO big basics even if the condition for the additional damage of the attack is not met. Applying early pressure like this is pretty good for a 1 prize attacker. It also keeps SLG Hoopa out of the meta for the time being.
 
it's not a one and done attack not every deck can one shot the baby buzzwole so it's possible you get out 2. Otherwise what the above comment said is correct modifiers and it being a 1 prize attack makes it particularly potent
 
Baby Buzzwole is a great inclusion in any fighting deck because of a few reasons.
1. It is a viable 1 prize attacker because of all the dmg modifiers.
2. Baby Buzz is a safer way to apply pressure in espeon garb as it still KO's pokemon but is only 1 prize card.
3. Sledgehammer is a great attack that can potentially KO GX'S
4. Prize Trade.

If you still have any queries regarding this topic feel free to ask.
 
Sledgehammer is one of the most cost-efficient attacks in the game, if not _the_ most cost-efficient. With Strong, Choice Band, and Diancie augmenting it, it does 190 damage, which is basically perfect damage. For one Energy. On a one-Prize attacker.

Swing Around is also capable of stealing KOs, doing 150-190 depending on your luck.

All of these calculations are also assuming just one Strong, too, meaning if you pile more on him you can reach higher and higher damage ceilings with Sledgehammer, and Swing Around becomes easier to kill with.

It's a ridiculous card.
 
every 1 prize decent attacker seems good these days.. the Fighting type ones, with damage modifiers, are insanely good.
 
Yep it’s all been covered. One prizer with a ridiculous amount if support and damage modifiers that has ridiculous attacks.
 
It isn't even a tech card anymore. BuzzRoc decks should be playing a minimum of three baby Buzzwole in their decks now. Heck, Buzzwole-GX should be the one that's teched.

Card is super busted. Once you've taken two Prize cards, it gets real for baby Buzz. So do yourself a favor and take that next Prize as fast as you possibly can.
 
It was very interesting watching NAIC and what Stephane Ivanoff (..from France) did in one of his later matches vs buzzwole deck. He was handcuffed drawing into Kartana as his starter Pokémon...so he took his gx attack prize card and then when he knocked out buzzwole gx it essentially nullified baby buzzwole...it was a very interesting play.
