They are super effective against {{t|Psychic}}- and {{type2|Dark}}s, which are two types common in most teams, and also the very common {{type2|Grass}}, even though many Grass-types are also Poison-typed, making them neutral to Bug-type moves. 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. | They are super effective against {{t|Psychic}}- and {{type2|Dark}}s, which are two types common in most teams, and also the very common {{type2|Grass}}, even though many Grass-types are also Poison-typed, making them neutral to Bug-type moves.

Defensively, however, Bug-types are still kind of weak, because of their low {{stat|Defense}} and the fact that there are many that are part {{t|Flying}}, magnifying their weakness to {{T|Rock}}. However, they resist {{t|Ground}} and even {{t|Fighting}}, two extremely powerful types. Dual-type Bug/Flying and Bug/{{t|Poison}} Pokémon have an outstanding 4x resistance to {{t|Fighting}}, which can make up for their slightly low {{stat|Defense}}. They also have a 4x resistance to common {{t|Grass}} moves, meaning they would take very little damage from such notorious moves | Defensively, however, Bug-types are still kind of weak, because of their low {{stat|Defense}} and the fact that there are many that are part {{t|Flying}}, magnifying their weakness to {{T|Rock}}.

Notably, many Bug-type families evolve dependent on unique methods, such as an {{p2|Nincada|extra slot in the party}}, its {{p2|Yanma|current moveset}}, {{p2|Burmy|gender}}, or {{p2|Wurmple|personality values}}. | Notably, many Bug-type families evolve dependent on unique methods, such as an {{p2|Nincada|extra slot in the party}}, its {{p2|Yanma|current moveset}}, {{p2|Burmy|gender}}, or {{p2|Wurmple|personality values}}. | ||
