Struggle Bug

Bug

Summary

Struggle Bug is a Bug-type move with 50 power and 100% accuracy. It has the added effect of lowering the Special Attack stat of all opponents by one stage. This move is particularly useful in double battles as it hits all opposing Pokémon while also debuffing their offensive capabilities. Struggle Bug is a good choice for Bug-type Pokémon that need to support their team by weakening the Special Attack of foes, making them less threatening. It was introduced in Generation V and is often a strategic move for both casual and competitive play due to its dual role of dealing damage and providing a debuff.
