Bug Memory is a unique item in the Pokémon series, specifically designed for use by the Pokémon Silvally. When Silvally holds the Bug Memory, it undergoes a significant transformation: its type changes to Bug. This change is part of Silvally's RKS System Ability, which allows it to alter its type based on the Memory item it holds, similar to the ability of the Mythical Pokémon Arceus with its Plates.
In terms of gameplay, this transformation affects not only Silvally's type but also the type of its signature move, Multi-Attack. Multi-Attack becomes a Bug-type move when Silvally is holding the Bug Memory, ensuring type consistency and allowing it to take advantage of same-type attack bonus (STAB) mechanics for increased damage.
