Tips
- Bug types are weak to Fire and Flying attacks.
- If you chose Tepig or Pansear, you have a type advantage.
- Consider catching a Pidove from any of the routes as it is a Flying-type and will be invaluable in this gym.
- Wild Pokémon in Route 4 (north of Castelia City) are around Level 15 if you need to train.
