→‎Trivia: That last point was speculation (and not even very good speculation, at that; type matchups change because the developers realize there's an imbalance, not for flavor reasons), but the whole thing admits to being not unique, thus not notable.

 * {{p|Larvesta}} evolves at level 59, the highest among two-stage evolutionary lines and second-highest overall, only surpassed by {{p|Zweilous}}, which evolves at level 64.
 * Until Generation IV, the only Bug moves with a power above 25 were Megahorn, Signal Beam, and Silver Wind, which made them extremely difficult to use offensively.
-* 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). The other pair is {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Ghost}} (Normal is immune to Ghost 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 against Bug types.
-*** The {{t|Poison}} type's now neutral match-up against the Bug type could reflect the real-life principle behind insects being able to adapt to poison.
 * The Flying type is one of the two types most commonly paired with the Bug type (along with Poison). However there are a number of Bug types, despite being able to fly, that are not Flying types, nor have the Ability {{a|Levitate}}. These include {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Venomoth}}, {{p|Heracross}}, {{p|Dustox}}, {{p|Volbeat}}, {{p|Illumise}}, and {{p|Volcarona}}.
 * With the exception of {{p|Whirlipede}}, all mid-evolution Bug Pokémon are based on cocoons.
