The '''Bug type''' (Japanese: '''むしタイプ''' ''Bug type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Bug-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.
The '''Bug type''' (Japanese: '''むしタイプ''' ''Bug type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Bug-type [[move]]s are super effective against {{t|Dark}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, and {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Bug-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Flying}}-, and {{type|Rock}} moves.

As of [[Generation IX]], there are 34 Bug-type [[move]]s, which makes up 3.64% of all moves (excluding those that are Bug-type only under certain circumstances), causing it to tie with {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Fairy}} as the 4th rarest type among moves, after {{t|Ice}} and before {{t|Poison}}.
Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Bug-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

In the TCG

Main article: Grass (TCG)

Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Bug-type Pokémon are generally listed as Grass-type Pokémon.

Grass-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Fire-type Pokémon and have no resistance. They are strong against some Fighting and Darkness Pokémon, and until Sword & Shield were strong against some Water types as well, whilst Metal Pokémon resisted it until the EX Power Keepers expansion set before this resistance was brought back in Sword & Shield.

Trivia

  • On average, Bug-type Pokémon have the lowest base HP, Special Attack, and base stat total of all types.
  • Bug is tied with Grass as the most resisted type, with seven types resisting each of them.
  • This is the only type:
  • The Bug type has been paired with every other type except for Dragon and Normal.
    • This makes the Bug type the only type to not have been paired up with Dragon.
  • Generation V introduced the most Bug-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 18, and Generation VI introduced the fewest Bug-type Pokémon, with three.
  • Generation IV introduced the most Bug-type moves of any Generation, with seven, and Generation IX introduced the fewest Bug-type moves, with two.
  • The Flying type is one of the two types most commonly paired with the Bug type, with the other type being Poison. However, there are a number of Bug types that are not Flying-types nor have the Ability Levitate despite being able to fly, such as Beedrill and Venomoth.
    • Despite this, the only Bug-type Pokémon that can learn the move Fly, Volcarona, Genesect, and Vikavolt, are not Flying-type Pokémon.
      • Out of these three Pokémon, Vikavolt is the only one that could not learn Fly in its introductory generation; Vikavolt was made able to learn Fly at level 50 and from TM06 in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
  • Until Platinum, several Bug-type Pokémon (Shuckle, Kricketot, Burmy, Wormadam, and Combee) were unable to learn any Bug-type moves naturally. Each of them can now learn Bug Bite by level up.
    • Pinsir and the Ledyba evolutionary line were also unable to learn any Bug-type moves naturally until Generation IV, in which the former gained access to X-Scissor and the latter to Silver Wind and Bug Buzz via level up.
  • In Generation I, the Bug type is super effective against Poison-type Pokémon, while the Poison type is super effective against Bug-type Pokémon. As such, this was the only case when two different types were ever super-effective against each other.
    • Additionally, since Generation I, the Bug and Fighting types are the only two separate types that resist each other.
  • The Bug type was the most common 4× weakness in Generation I, with 11 Pokémon doubly weak to it, mainly due to Poison type having a weakness to it at the time.
  • Each of the three first partner Pokémon types have a different effectiveness when attacking a pure Bug-type Pokémon (Grass does ½× damage, Water does 1× damage, and Fire does 2× damage).
    • This trait is also shared with pure Steel-type Pokémon.
  • No Pokémon gains the Bug type upon evolution that did not already have it. It shares this distinction with the Normal type.
    • Additionally, no Pokémon gains the Bug type upon changing forms with the exceptions of Arceus and Silvally, which can change into any type.
  • Of all Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level, 11 of the earliest-evolving Pokémon are of the Bug type.
  • Despite having no TMs that are of the Bug-type in Generation III, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen's internal data contains a sprite for Bug-type TMs.
  • All Bug-type moves are eligible to be used in Sky Battles.
