Centiskorch Weakness

Centiskorch's Fire/Bug typing leaves it vulnerable to Rock, Water, and Flying. Rock hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. It resists 6 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely. Flash Fire grants an additional Fire immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Centiskorch's special bulk (base 90 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
