In the anime

The user emits red soundwaves which lowers the opponents defense.
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 soundwaves come out of them, creating a siren-like sound which hurts the opponent. The soundwaves then come together and Kricketune can fire it as a red beam at the opponent using its arms.

  • As move description says, wings are used to make the attack, however some Pokémon can learn Bug Buzz despite having no wings.
    • Out of all that were introduced in Generation V, Volcarona is the only Generation V Pokémon, capable of learning Bug Buzz, with wings.
