This page is written for the exact search intent behind Ultra Beast Decks: Buzzwole, Guzzlord, and Silvally. The useful question is not whether the name is popular; it is what the cards, setup cost, and failure lines actually ask you to do.

Buzzwole, Guzzlord, and Silvally solve different problems
Ultra Beast Decks: Buzzwole, Guzzlord, and Silvally — Use this mechanic as the article's decision frame: Each Ultra Beast has a distinct role; coherent engines combine poison, switching, denial, or recovery instead of treating every card as interchangeable. A card is valuable here only when its timing matches the rest of the engine.
Evaluate the expansion by the engine it completes: identify the target line, check the supporting cards, and stop when the collection goal is met. Before choosing a list, check:
- Which Ultra Beast is the primary attacker?
- Which cards provide poison, switching, denial, or recovery?
- Which support package belongs to the chosen engine?
- Which related deck guide contains the full plan?
Turn the role into a partner line
The linked entities turn the keyword into a plan that can be checked: Buzzwole ex, Guzzlord ex, Nihilego
Build-or-collect checklist
- Name the single engine or artwork that justifies opening this product.
- Check the local card pages for the Basic, evolution, and support pieces; a featured ex card without its line is not a finished deck.
- Compare the set index with the pack index before choosing a pack. Open the set index · Check pack contents
- Stop when the missing gameplay effect is available or when the remaining goal is collection-only.
Collection and acquisition decisions
Make the collection decision in this order: Which Ultra Beast is the primary attacker? Then verify Which cards provide poison, switching, denial, or recovery? on the linked card and pack pages.
- Open the set index: Extradimensional Crisis
- Check pack contents: Extradimensional Crisis
When the role is too broad
If the headline line is unavailable, keep the turn productive: use a lower-cost attacker, preserve the search card for the next draw, or pivot to the entity that covers the missing requirement. Verify the exact card text through the linked local pages rather than a copied list. A card is valuable here only when its timing matches the rest of the engine.

Choose one role before mixing the pool
Buzzwole, Guzzlord, Nihilego, Celesteela, and Silvally are a role family, not five copies of the same attacker. Pick pressure, denial, poison, switching, or Supporter tempo as the primary job. Then add only the support cards that make that job happen. A poison line that never gets a safe retreat is not improved by another poison card; it needs a movement or recovery answer.
Use the Extradimensional Crisis set to complete one package and the linked Buzzwole or Guzzlord guide to test it. Stop when the chosen engine has an opening, a fallback, and a reason to spend another turn.
