Analysis
Behold the glory of the ladybug UFO with psychic powers! Surely nothing in this game can surpass this monster! I mean, COME ON! It's a ladybug.... that's a freaking UFO! Can you POSSIBLY get any better than that?
....yes, yes you can. And quite easily, we might add.
Offense
- We have the same old debate between Confusion and its higher damage output and Psycho Cut and its higher energy generation/more dodge-friendly damage window, but in this case the latter TENDS to pull ahead as Orbeetle likely won't be on the field very long.
- When picking a Charged Move, Psychic out-classes Psyshock, though it's still not enough to make Orbeetle good.... or even mediocre.
- Struggle Bug and Bug Buzz is weaker, but Orbeetle has a far lower ceiling as a Bug Type... though it's still glued to the floor.
Defense
- Confusion is a great Fast Move on defense, so pairing it with Bug Buzz is the way to go to make Orbeetle harder to wall... in theory.
- Honestly, Bug's poor overall coverage means that using a mono-Psychic moveset with Psyshock is also viable, though this means that a single Dark Type will steamroll Orbeetle with impunity... instead of at least at risk of being tickled.
- Struggle Bug and Psychic is a weaker moveset and has identical coverage.
- Psycho Cut is not good on defense.
