Explanation/Notes on Design

The golden bug net is a trainer item that has a 10% chance of replacing any wild encounter with a decently rare bug type pokemon. The list of 'rare bug type pokemon' would probably be a curated list.

For her battle, the pool 1 pokemon are as follows:

Parasect, Venomoth, Ledian, Ariados, Yanma, Beautifly, Dustox, Masquerain, Ninjask, Volbeat, Illumise, Anorith, Kricketune, Wormadam (any form), Mothim, Skorupi, Larvesta, Vivillion (any form), Charjabug, Ribombee, Spidops, Lokix.

The pool 2 pokemon are as follows:

Scyther, Pinsir, Forretress, Scizor, Shuckle, Heracross, Shedinja, Armaldo, Vespiquen, Drapion, Yanmega, Leavanny, Scolipede, Crustle, Escavalier, Galvantula, Accelgor, Vikavolt, Araquanid, Orbeetle, Centiskorch, Frosmoth, Kleavor, Rabsca.

The pool 3 pokemon are as follows:

Mega Pinsir, Mega Scizor, Mega Heracross, Durant, Volcarona, Golisopod, Gmax orbeetle, Gmax Centiskorch.

An event that can happen in almost any biome. Can give players very good rewards in very specific circumstances, but otherwise gives only decent rewards.

Things we have discussed but have not added to the main body of the issue yet:

Making the prize for winning the battle be a trainer item that allows for a 10% chance to override any wild encounter with a rare bug type.

Properly establish her team. Establish at what waves her pokemon start appearing in their mega/gmax forms.

We discussed the idea of giving her one of your bug type pokemon as a way to help out (option 3). We haven't added that to the issue.

If more bug-related items show up in later updates, we would want them to also work for the giving her a helping item option.

Properly establish the rewards for showing her your own bug types.
