 Get ready to squish this grunt with ease, as Bug types are known to be one of the weakest types out there. It's easy to take down, which makes for an easy mysterious component, but other than that this is one of the most skippable grunts.

Supreme Counters
Look no further than Heatran when taking down this grunt. Fire Spin is great for energy generation while also dealing considerable damage, paired with Magma Storm* for a very spammy moveset.
Fire Spin + Magma Storm
The ultimate Bug-squishing machine has got to be Rampardos, lunging rocks with Smack Down and Rock Slide. Just be aware of the fact that it's a bit glassy! Bonus points if you unlock a second move with Flamethrower!
Smack Down + Rock Slide/Flamethrower
Do you want to have a breeze of a battle? Shadow Staraptor is your guy! It has a great moveset with either Wing Attack or Gust* and Fly.
 Wing Attack + Fly
Basically the same as Rampardos, but it requires an Elite TM.
Smack Down + Rock Wrecker
Good Counters
Behold, the wielder of fantastic Fire DPS. Slap Fire Spin on it paired with Flame Charge for a genuinely fantastic counter.
 Fire Spin + Flame Charge
It's genuinely great here with Fire Spin, and unlike Heatran, it's more accessible. Though admittedly it does need an Elite TM for Blast Burn* if you don't have one.
 Fire Spin               + Blast Burn
Other Good Counters
In conjunction with the above counters, several other Pokemon do a great job here, including a number of generally great Pokemon in the Master League. Feel free to mix-and-match a bit, as any of these and beyond can do a great job as well!
