>>35898619Beast Ring is a good card but it's not Beast Ring that makes Buzzwole broken. It's all the cards that it had before FLI even came out that Make BuzzRoc w/ Beast Ring broken. BuzzRoc was already a Tier 1 deck before it got Beast Ring and Diance <>. Max Elixers and Strong Energy mean Buzzwole is a threat from Turn 1 and was already a top tier deck with just that.
But what will Buzzwole do post rotation?. Without Elixir it has to manually attach its energy until your opponent KOs you. It will take 3 turn before it can OHKO anything for 2 prizes. With out Strong Energy Jet Punch caps at 80 (30 + Diance + Choice) and that doesn't even 2 shot basic GXs and Knuckle Impact can't get over 210. And if you just snipe Diance <> early that damage boost goes away permanently. All of this means it's pretty easy to slow play and get multiple pokemon set up before you KO and put them in Beast Ring range.
