🎯 Operator's field verdict

Double-weak to Bug, but Bug types aren't common, so it shows up a lot in the lead. Psywave hits Fighting types hard with fast-move damage. Mostly runs Foul Play + Superpower and plays hit-and-run with Superpower, but watch out — some players learn Hyper Beam for a one-shot nuke.
