Orbeetle are famous for their large brains and high intelligence. Its large brain is proof of the immense psychic power it possesses.

Should Gigantamax Orbeetle use all of its power, it can control the minds of every living being within its vicinity.

As the wasp's larva hatches and pupates, it releases a virus that paralyzes its host ladybug, controlling the ladybug into protecting it from predators; the ladybug in this state is often compared to " zombies" in many studies. Additionally, the adult of this wasp has bright blue-green eyes and a thin body, like Orbeetle but unlike ladybugs.

Orbeetle seems to be based on a ladybug, specifically Coccinella septempunctata. Given its high-level intellect, enlarged brain, and use of hypnotism and mind control, it could also be inspired by stereotypical intelligent aliens or "mad scientist" antagonists from popular science fiction.

These archetypes will probably also win smaller events, like League Challenges and the occasional League Cup. Tier 3
