Bug (type): Difference between revisions

Offensively, they are somewhat flawed. They '''do''' come in handy against {{t|Psychic}} and {{type2|Dark}}s, which are two types common in most teams, but their strength against the very common {{type2|Grass}}, is reduced by the common Grass/Poison typing.  The [[Generation I]] games weren't very kind to this type, having only three very weak damage-dealing moves, but many Pokémon of this type have improved over time. This improvement is lessened by the fact that too many types (six, falling one short of Grass) resist Bug-type moves for them to be a main form of dealing damage. The fact that they are resisted by Poison, a popular defensive type,causes further problems (though many Poison types also have a subtype that is weak to Bug,  which is usually Grass). Furthermore, their advantage over Psychic-types is reduced due to the relatively common typing of Bug/Poison types, Psychic-types with Bug-resistant types (which are fairly common), and the high speed, special attack and wide movepools that Psychic-types can boast about.
