Basic guide for the Buzzy route, it mainly details fight and items, for navigating around puzzles and traps you should check Dalia's guide or watch one of the run.
Trainers won't always send their mon in the same order, you need to be vigilant when following the guide to use the correct attack against the correct mon.
The first 8 fights with Buzzy can all lead to unavoidable deaths if the opponent use the correct combination of move, do not hesitate to reload an auto-save if Buzzy dies.
Except for the Dark Lumon, do not use Patter or Cubzero, Buzzy needs all the XP it can get.
Start the game, run from the first battle, go to the Receptionist, select Easy Difficulty/shorter course Take Cubzero
Nelson
= Toruga
=> Scratch until dead
Go see Rigel in Lab, skip through dialogues
Capture Mino: try to get through the grass as fast as possible, if you didn't see any Mino in grass, search for it in the wheat field, it has an higher chance to appear there.
Trade the Mino for a gullible Buzzy (you can reload the auto-save until you get the correct trait, no need to check potential, it is always 15).
First Beezle => Heal if enemy is faster and you are in death range (without Rage, it deals between 9 and 12 damage with Slam)
=> Rage
=> Slam till dead
(You can die if the opponent is faster and start with Rage=>Slam/Slam, you may even get OHKOed if it is gullible and starts with Rage=>Slam)

Lowri
= Fiddly
=> Rage + DS * 2 (S cake if you have < 22 HP after raging) (or DS + Slam if Fiddly has less than 15HP and didn't up its defense)
=> if fiddly has humidifier (20%), it is almost a guaranteed loss (may be worth to try DSx2?)
= Houndos => if you didn't get extra XP, you should lvlup with the Fiddly so no need to heal, but if you are low on health you should heal, houndos is quicker and can deal around 10 damage.
=> DS + Slam (if needed)

=> Rage
=> DS+Slam (you want to die to heal the para)
