Bug/Psychic is a unique typing.  Orbeetle can have Swarm or Frisk, or Telepathy as its hidden ability. Dottler and Blipbug instead have Frisk replaced with Compoundeyes. Orbeetle also has a Dynamax form. Skwovet is also a Pokemon found on Route 1. It is a pure Normal type that can have the ability Cheek Pouch, or Gluttony as its hidden ability. Both of these abilities are activated by berries, so it’s a good idea to give it one. At level 24, it evolves into Greedent, which is also pure Normal.
