Gold Beetle: ability choices and unlocks

The table connects Gold Beetle to its recorded abilities, grouped by combat slot. Open an ability to inspect its effects and other pets with the same move.

Recorded moveset for Gold Beetle. Levels refer to the pet.
Ability	Slot	Unlock level
Scratch	Slot 1	1
Flank	Slot 1	10
Hiss	Slot 2	2
Survival	Slot 2	15
Swarm	Slot 3	4
Apocalypse	Slot 3	20

Slot 1 pairs Scratch (level 1) with Flank (level 10). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
Slot 2 pairs Hiss (level 2) with Survival (level 15). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
Slot 3 pairs Swarm (level 4) with Apocalypse (level 20). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.

Before leveling this pet for a team, check which of these alternatives your plan needs. Compare its in-game health, power and speed with the requirements of the encounter. A matching ability name alone does not establish that two pets are interchangeable.
