Using Bug Buzz in Cobblemon
Bug Buzz is a special move, so it scales off Sp. Attack against the target Sp. Defense. Give it to a Pokemon whose Sp. Attack is the higher of the two, and remember the 1.5x same-type bonus if the user is Bug.
Check the type chart before relying on it, and look up specific targets in the Pokedex where dual-type multipliers are already worked out.
