Pokémon Method
User First Used In Notes
Kricketune Kricketune's wings glow red and points its antennae in the air. Its antennae then vibrate and red sound waves come out of them, creating a siren-like sound which hurts the opponent. The sound waves then come together and Kricketune can fire it as a red beam at the opponent using its arms.

Larvesta Larvesta calls out loudly, which releases red sound waves from its body at the opponent. When the sound waves reach the opponent, it hurts its head.

Trivia

  • Bug Buzz is the only Bug-type sound-based move.
  • Despite the descriptions of this move stating that the usage of wings is required, Pokémon that lack wings can still use this attack. This may be why the mention of wings is removed starting in Generation VII.
