I also run a variety of Buzzwole decks; so, following are a few thoughts for your consideration:

IMO, Buzzwole GX is THE preferred starter given its highly efficient 30-30 Jet Punch attack. So, re-balancing your overall Buzzwole count to 3 GXs and 3 non-GXs increases your chances of starting with a GX.

Zygarde GX is not an Ultra Beast (i.e., Beast Ring can not be used for energy-attachment acceleration) nor a single-energy attacker. Although it offers Weakness diversity, you are not running DC energy; so, IMO, it seems to be more of a distraction than a true complimentary asset. This card should be replaced. With -1 Zygarde GX + 3 available slots, you could add a 2-2 Magcargo (Smooth Over) line to supplement your card-drawing.support. Further, this line will help you get a specific card needed.

7 card-draw Supporters is woefully insufficient, especially when you do not use supplemental card-draw support (e.g., Oranguru's Instruct). I'd suggest bumping this count up by at least 2 in order to improve deck operation consistency should you not use Magcargo or Oranguru.

What is your deck/game strategy? You did not state your deck strategy, but if we assume you want to start with a Buzzwole GX to initially spread damage while you continue to setup your Weaviles, then your first Buzzwole GX will be KOd in order to have your Beast Rings and the Buzzwole "heavy" Sledgehammer activated. Your Weaviles could also be used to inflict "heavy" damage too given your opponent's Pokémon used.​

I hope you find these comments helpful.
