Bug Buzz is a Bug-type move introduced in Generation IV in which the user vibrates its wings to generate a damaging sound wave. It may also lower a foe's Special Defense stat. However, it doesn't affect Pokémon who possess the Soundproof ability, as the move is sound-based. It is often the last move learned by Bug Pokémon via leveling-up.
