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 physical Bug/Poison route that rewards careful spacing

Weedle offers a physical default and a ranged Poison alternative. We would choose it for the challenge of a focused route, not because a familiar name proves late-run strength.

Its 88 HP and low defenses make early mistakes costly. Dual typing widens the pool but removes the single-type Bug bonus Caterpie receives.

Our recommendation combines this partner’s move options and base stats with the records available. These saved boards predate the expanded move pool; they show recorded runs, not win rates or a current-patch build test. Browse the records →

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.

Keep early investment together

Bug Bite

physical · Bug

The default fits the stronger physical factor and evolves with Power.

X-ScissorLv. 5 Bug Bite + Power

Physical range

Poison Sting

physical · Poison

This changes the attack pattern while keeping physical scaling and applying poison. Sprint is its evolution requirement.

Poison JabLv. 5 Poison Sting + Sprint

Later scaling

Swords Dance

buff · Normal

The buff matches both attacks. Add it after damage is reliable and refresh or Bond deliberately.

Upgrade order

1. Keep Bug Bite or deliberately make Poison Sting the main attack.
2. Take Power for Bug Bite or Sprint for Poison Sting.
3. Add physical scaling after the chosen attack has levels; combine attacks only after earning a Bond.

If the cards do not cooperate: String Shot is a slowing physical alternative if Poison Sting is late. Its Reflexes requirement is a separate evolution plan.

We would give Weedle a narrow job beside reliable ranged damage: manageable close clearing or physical Poison at range. The teammate is not a guaranteed rescue mechanic.

Squirtle

Consider Bubble →

Squirtle can slow approaches while Weedle keeps damage selected. Do not rely on Weedle taking hits for the group.

Charmander

Consider Ember →

Charmander adds range so Weedle can approach only the near edge it can manage.

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. Give a pivot real investment

   Learning Poison Sting alone does not fix a melee run. Select and upgrade it if changing routes.

2. Poison is not sustain

   Poison damage does not regenerate HP. Keep avoiding hits and taking survival upgrades.

3. Watch Poison categories

   Sludge is special, unlike Poison Sting. Taking both without a reason can split the scaling plan.

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.
