Buzzwole (Japanese: マッシブーン Massivoon) is a dual-type Bug/Fighting Ultra Beast introduced in Generation VII.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
It is code named UB-02 Absorption (Japanese: UB02 Expansion).
Biology

Buzzwole is an Ultra Beast that resembles a large, anthropomorphic mosquito. Its head is small and flat with a black ridge up the center. It has two red compound eyes with two black, spherical basal joints for its red and black antennae between them. Protruding from under these joints is a long, silver proboscis. It has many bulging muscles that appear to be sacs full of a red fluid with small white bubbles inside. There are three sacs on each arm, two on each leg, two on its chest, and several on its shoulders and down its back. Around its waist are three rings of smaller sacs. The muscles on its chest and some on its arms and waist have thin, grayish lines resembling tendons running across them. It has large, five-fingered hands with red knuckles and four pointed legs. There are several black spikes on its body: a small one on each side of its head, two on each shoulder, one on each elbow, and one on each leg. The portions of its body between its muscles are dark red or black. On its back are two pairs of pale orange wings with slightly darker veins.
Buzzwole live in another world named Ultra Jungle. Buzzwole's mouth is said to be harder than a diamond[1]. Buzzole is powerful enough destroy to a dump truck with a single punch. Wicke from the Aether Foundation describes Buzzwole's capabilities as such:
Its most distinctive feature is its skill to strengthen itself. Buzzwole is able to absorb energy and then achieve a chemical reaction between the energy it has absorbed and its own body fluids.
As a result, Buzzwole’s body swells to an almost explosive extent. Its muscles bulge and are so thick and dense that they are stronger even than steel. Both its Attack and Defense experience a clear leap in power. It also displays a habit of striking a pose each time that it takes any sort of action... It is thought this might serve as a method of communication, but it is not well understood.
Wicke further claims that Buzzwole, like all Ultra Beasts, stores an energy within its body similar to the aura seen around Totem Pokémon.[2] This energy is called Z-Power.

- Buzzwole has the highest base HP stat of all Bug-type Pokémon.
- Buzzwole is the heaviest Bug-type Pokémon.

- In version 1.0 of Pokémon Sun and Moon, Buzzwole's code name was spelled incorrectly in Japanese as (Japanese: UB02 Expansione), despite being spelled correctly in pre-release material.
- Buzzwole was designed by James Turner.[3]
Origin
Buzzwole is based on a mosquito, given a strong muscular physique to contrast its real-world size and frailness.[4] The specific kind of mosquito may be the Aedes albopictus, which is an invasive species worldwide.
Buzzwole's physique may be inspired by bodybuilders, or common depictions of superheroes in comic books. The black portions of its body resemble the shading in comic book illustrations used to draw attention to a character's musculature.
Name origin
Buzzwole may be a combination of buzz; the slang word swole, meaning muscular; and bustle, meaning both: to abound or swarm something, and to move or act with a great show of energy.
Massivoon may be a combination of massive and 蚊 bun (mosquito) or ブーン būn (buzz).
