Physical and special attacks use different attack factors. Defense and special defense affect the matching incoming damage category; they are not flat percentages of damage blocked. Speed is the game’s base movement value.

A coherent physical route with a defensive weakness

Beedrill’s 1.20 physical factor suits Bug Bite and Poison Sting. Its default already matches the stronger category, so we would not buy a special-start unlock just to make a clear plan.

Defense is 40 against 80 special defense, and dual typing gives no single-type bonus. Good physical scaling is not permission to absorb contact damage.

Our recommendation combines this partner’s move options and base stats with the records available. The capture time is shown for each board; individual records do not reveal their game build or loadout. These are recorded runs, not win rates or a current-patch build test.

These are priorities and alternatives, not three attacks you receive or fire together. The selected slot keeps casting; existing projectiles, placed fields and temporary buffs can remain after switching. Bonds let several moves keep casting from one selected group.

A buff cast adds a stack rather than instantly granting the maximum bonus. Refresh it, return to damage before it expires, or combine it with damage in a Bond. It affects your player, not the whole team. Do not pass up a useful damage upgrade just to complete this list.

Build the default

Bug Bite

physical · Bug

Invest in the physical opening and take Power for X-Scissor.

X-ScissorLv. 5 Bug Bite + Power

Physical range alternative

Poison Sting

physical · Poison

Keep the scaling direction while changing attack pattern. It needs Sprint to evolve.

Poison JabLv. 5 Poison Sting + Sprint

Physical buff

Swords Dance

buff · Normal

Add this after damage works. Refresh deliberately or include it with damage in an active Bond.

Upgrade order

1. Develop Bug Bite or commit to Poison Sting, rather than divide early levels.
2. Take the stat belonging to that evolution.
3. Then add scaling or control and inspect the active group after bonding.

If the cards do not cooperate: String Shot is a physical slow option if range is late. Bug Buzz uses special attack and should be a conscious route change, not an automatic upgrade for a Bug partner.

We would pair physical close damage with special range or slow. This divides the jobs without assuming a hidden physical/special team bonus.

Butterfree

Consider Signal Beam →

Butterfree can use special range while Beedrill works a near edge. Each player needs buffs matching their own attack.

Blastoise

Consider Bubble →

Blastoise can slow approaches. Beedrill still needs an exit instead of a fixed frontline assignment.

Kanto pairings to try, not an all-roster co-op ranking or a tested best team. Each player manages their own active slot and buffs. A partner knowing a move does not mean it keeps casting throughout the run.

1. Make room for the short attack

   Work an open edge and turn before enemies overlap you; Bug Bite begins with a small radius.

2. Use the formula honestly

   Defense scaling is softened, but 40 defense still does not justify repeated hits.

3. Do not promise Leech Life healing

   U-turn’s evolved name alone does not prove a drain effect. Check the modifiers before treating it as sustain.

These are the cards this partner can learn, including its default attack. They are choices, not a loadout you receive at once. An evolution requires the base move at its maximum level and the listed stat card; attack names alone do not imply extra effects such as healing.
