Battle notes
- Pheromosa's Bug / Fighting typing is best attacked with Flying (4x), Fire (2x), Psychic (2x). Start with those attacking types when choosing moves or counter Pokémon.
- Avoid relying on common Grass, Fighting, Ground attacks unless they have unusually high power or a secondary purpose, because Pheromosa resists or ignores those matchups.
- This guide uses the modern Gen 6+ type chart only. Abilities, held items, Terastallization, weather, fields, and special move rules can still change real battle outcomes.
