Buzzwole (Pokémon): Difference between revisions
Added trivia. It's a reference to the hulk. If removed, may I know what the difference between this and Palafin's Superman trivia being acceptable? Thanks!

"To abound or swarm something" comes from the definition of bustle on dictionary.com, "1. to move or act with a great show of energy (often followed by about); 2. to abound or teem with something," with "swarm something" substituted via "teem" definition.) |
