STAB priority with Mach Punch, it isn’t cripplongly slow regardless, for some reason it gets leech seed while Parasect doesn’t, and best of all it isn’t a bug type.
And then in later gens it gets technician too, which is great.
Breloom is just a way stronger mon, so I’m fine with having the wait exist for him to be optimal.
