Bug Type Pokemon: Then vs Now 

Well, they weren't _supposed_ to be immune. Programming error.

All hail dark types

my first ever lv 100 was a tyranitar in pokemon xd gale of darkness grew fast because it in-game trade could take on relgum tower on its own (double battles were the games format)

Laughs in genesect and pheromosa getting banned from OU. They’re higher tiered than kyreum,, terrakion, tyranitar, magearna, melmetal, latios, metagross, salamance, and a lot of other Pokémon

I'd like that

Yes

Alder has quite a few bug types (3 out of six), so technically we had half of a bug type champion.

If Steven and Iris are considered Steel- and Dragon-type champions respectively with only three Pokémon of such types in their primary matches, then Alder has what it takes to be a Bug-type champion with Accelgor, Escavalier and Volcarona (plus a Bouffalant with Megahorn)

This is lit.

In my Pokemon fanfic, I gave it the ability Swarming Might(gives it STAB for Bug moves.)

People who are unimpressed by Vivillon rarely know how terrifyingly huge it is for a butterfly. Owning one would make me feel majestic and badass.

@@BrianStorm742 Funny thing is that Vivillon is genuinely viable in the Anything Goes tier in Gen 7 (which exists purely because of Mega Rayquaza).

And by how fast it was. Didn't know it received a speed buff in Gen 7. But that's honestly all the bosses in USUM, they all have perfect natures, IVs and EVs.

Tavaria Blanton Just noticed it said that 😂

Wait, they removed Heal Order but left Vespiquen in??????

I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know heal order existed because I’ve never had, used, or really seen much of Vespiquen until gen 8.

Really dude

Well I mean, there are 10 thousand species of Lepidopterans, so 7 moth/butterfly Pokémon is grossly underrepresenting them. ;p But yes, I understand what you mean, I think there should be a lot more bugs…like an actual “dragon”fly rather than the lame yanmega, they could do a whiptail scorpion, and frankly there are a lot of worms that are extremely diverse that could do a lot of interesting things, even though some aren’t technically “bugs” I feel like shipworms could fit as bug steel or bug rock types. A good fit for more bug, poison types could be velvet worms, and stink bugs. A scarab Pokémon could be a bug psychic or bug fairy due to their mystical status in ancient Egyptian legends (something they definitely should do if they ever do a region based on Egypt). Plus there are SO many beetles. And a firefly that doesn’t suck would be cool as well.

*WE DON'T SAY TYPING, WE SAY TYPE! AND, NOT AMD!*

This would work in Gen 1. His Dragonite is bugged (heh) so that against pokemon weak to psychic it would spam barrier

Although it would take a long time unless it’s level 100

I find it funny how Dragonite wasn't that great in Gen 1.

@@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470 It was because of how the only Dragon Move was Dragon rage which always does a fixed 40 HP damage. Blizzard was everywhere as well, since it had 90 accuracy not 70 in gen 1

Gackuu No.1 yup

Yep

Moonwatcher Nobody asked.

Prevention is better than cure

for awhile I thought it did boost crit, it would make so much sense

i thought X-scissor was like fury cutter

Apparently this happened in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

I think it will be better if it had 100 base power 100 accuracy so the other moves will still be used but it also gives it a reason to be used

I mean, you could even drop the base power to 70, so it's the same power as all the other slashing moves. But i bet it would still get used because of its high critical hit chance. Honestly, I'm surprised that hasn't happened yet

Thats comedy

Hey, I love centiskorch and he is a beast, I used it in my playthrough

Gfdx Gfdx By the snappening, I meant half of all pokemon getting cut, not gen 8.

Well, Gen. 2 did give us some solid ones such as Heracross, Scizor & Fortress.

Me too but in alphabetical order

I agree that this could be a good series for Pokémon types and maybe moves as well.

i would love it. but i personnaly would like 2 know more about the steel type introduction in the game and it's changes for gen 6

@@kovi2772 Here's the basic gist. Steel type was strange because people were at first like "Wow it's so overpowered" then people were like "wow... this sucks" because steel didn't get great steel moves... and it was hardly good against anything, and the high threats in gen 2 gameplay (fire and fighting) made quick work of it, especially since all steel types had low special defense, a fire move even without stab bonus would just wreck it. People just thought "Look at normal pokemon not touching me. OH what's this? NO POISON!! Screw your Toxic strategies!!" ... and then the good players came and ruined all perspectives on it. Skarmory was considered at least decent not because of steel typing, but because of stats and flying made it not get wrecked at least by fighting pokemon. (oh, doesn't anyone remember how much Heracross was hated at tournaments in gen2 days? Again, it was the same thing. People thought Heracross sucked. Until someone started beating most of the first wave meta game with a BUG/FIGHTING pokemon to ruin the psychic, ice, steel types that were used at first. It sort of reminds me of Gen1 persian... everyone hated it... until someone started using it in tournaments to bubblebeam a switched in Rydon/Golem for a 1hko or a 2hko at worst.(people didn't know about it's movepool nor that with its high speed and high special stat it was ridiculously powerful) But that's every generation, you have an initial wave of what people think are OP, and then you get the overlooked pokemon that has ridiculous counterplay and then cements itself as not just being counterplay, but just OP in general. Steel type has only seen a resurgence due to Fairy's inclusion because Fairy has only poison and Steel as a weakness. Poison and steel both have awful offensive capabilities though, but are considered decent for defensive matchups.... except again, that whole steel is weak to fire/fighting... poison being weak to ground/psychic isn't seen as that bad anymore because those two types have gained numerous types to match up against it. but because fairy is as powerful as it is currently, you still are going to want a poison or a steel user. LUCKILY most poison and steel types are dual typed. (honestly a shame that there's not a steel/poison pokemon like Tetanus the pokemon cause that would cover a lot of it's meta gameplay matchups)

But now the new psychic move expanding force is really used in competitive play so maybe psychic now is not as good as before but still really reliable

Doduo and dodrio: *quickly loosk over here and away

If you love bug types, play Pokemon X, catch a caterpie, and proceed to win with a Butterfree with a moveset of silver wind, toxic, sleep powder, and bugbuzz

If not for all types (since some like Fighting, Water and Flying have been more or less consistent through the years), some (such as Dragon, Fairy, Poison and Psychic) would make videos as interesting as this.

@@NoobyPlayzYT u high?I mean he looks cool but....

Good thing the flareon doesn’t have flash fire.

@@NoobyPlayzYT The joke is because flareon's movepool has rendered it completely useless in tournament play ever since Gen1. Even in the gens where fire was actually useful due to steel/ice/grass types that also didn't have a secondary typing that resisted fire (think most ice pokemon used to have a water typing too. Now we see a lot of just Ice types. Or Ice + something that isn't water). But flareon lacked the stats to make it worth using even without the moves. So, it could use flamethrower. Big woopdeewoop. So can any other fire pokemon that beat it in every stat (Cough arcanine). It lacked support moves to use it in any other format that isn't 1v1 (cough, arcanine, ponyta, ninetails). It also just lacked any ability TO be used for a strategy even in 1v1. Flare blitz doesn't fix things even today.
