* Almost all Bug-type Pokémon evolve very early. Reasons for that could be to give the player the opportunity of having a strong evolved Pokémon in the beginning in order to earn the Gym [[Badge]] more easily, and that insects in fact can increase their population in short periods of time. Ironically though, {{p|Ulgamoth}} evolves at level 59, the second highest level needed to evolve, only surpassed by {{p|Sazandora}}. But another method may be due to the fact, that most fully evolved bug type Pokémon's stats are extremely low, being only somewhat higher than most basic, or baby stage Pokémon. | * Almost all Bug-type Pokémon evolve very early.

* As of Generation II, the Bug type (along with the {{t|Fighting}} type) are one of only two pairs of different types to share the same interaction against each other (Bug resists Fighting and vice versa).

** In Generation I, the Bug type and the {{t|Poison}} type also shared the same interaction: they were super-effective against each other. As of Generation II, Poison-type Pokémon now resist Bug-type moves, and Poison-type moves are neutral on Bug-types. | ** In Generation I, the Bug type and the {{t|Poison}} type also shared the same interaction: they were super-effective against each other.
