Start with a background that echoes Buzzwole's bug and fighting, then place your chase holo in the top-left anchor slot. Secondary copies can step down in rarity toward the edges so the spread breathes in photos.
Michi Method scene examples
Wide illustrated scenes and promotional art you can print across multiple binder pockets — not cropped card frames.

Additional tips
- Lead with your strongest Buzzwole single, then echo it with a secondary spread featuring Accelgor, Anorith, and Araquanid so the page reads as a story, not a checklist.
- Try a spring green, leaf lime, and brick red sleeve story around Buzzwole's bug-type and fighting-type identity — mat color does more work than people admit in photos.
- Photograph the Buzzwole page under warm side light once and cool once — you'll quickly see which copy deserves the top-left anchor slot.
- Buzzwole reads massive (333.6kg) in lore — full-bleed backgrounds and low-angle perspectives on high-rarity prints reward the scale.

Players file Buzzwole around tier "Past" while Ability Beast Boost (Raises this Pokémon's highest stat by one stage when it faints another Pokémon.) shapes the fantasy — chase art that stages that payoff, not just the highest number on the slab.
- Bug/Fighting typings invite clash lighting or split backgrounds — lean into that tension on-page.

Backstory & Lore
A short write-up on Buzzwole, weaving together Pokédex notes, species lore, and evolution context.
This Ultra Beast appeared from another world. It shows off its body, but whether that display is a boast or a threat remains unclear.
A mysterious life-form called an Ultra Beast. Witnesses saw it pulverize a dump truck with a single punch.
Although it’s alien to this world and a danger here, it’s apparently a common organism in the world where it normally lives.
Buzzwole shows up in Ultra Moon lore as buzzwole goes around showing off its abnormally swollen muscles.. When you shop for cards, look for illustrations that lean into that mood instead of generic portrait poses.
Canon tags Buzzwole as the Swollen Pokémon and known for red colouration — backgrounds that echo those cues (studio, habitat, or abstract) usually photograph better than random neon gradients.
