Battle notes

Bug / Ghost mostly adds together the normal defensive pressure points from both types without creating a 4x weakness.
Because dual types multiply both defensive matchups, Fire attacks (2x) is the most direct way to punish this combination under the modern Gen 6+ chart.
Avoid defaulting to Normal, Fighting, Grass, Poison attacks unless you have a specific reason; this typing resists or blocks those lines of play.
This exact typing exists in the current National Dex, so the matchup is useful for real Pokémon pages and team planning.
