Bug (type): Difference between revisions
→Trivia: the brackets sort of looked sloppy
(Undo revision 1957127 by TorchicBlaziken (talk) Visible from the page itself, thus redundant. (I thought all these type pages were supposed to be locked to prevent Fairy speculation?)) |

* Statistically, the Bug type is the weakest; among the 17 elemental types, the Bug type has the lowest average base stat total (371.57).

* Almost all Bug-type Pokémon evolve very early, perhaps due to their low stats. In the games, one reason for this could be to give the player the opportunity of having a strong, evolved Pokémon in the beginning of their journey in order to earn the first Gym [[Badge]]s more easily. Despite this, the first Gyms of the first four generations are strong against Bug types, as they specialize in {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Flying}} types. Of the ones that are not strong, the [[Striaton City]] Gym has a chance to specialize in {{t|Fire}} types, while the [[Aspertia City]] and [[Santalune City]] Gyms are type-neutral. In fact, [[Cilan]] is the only potential first Gym Leader with a type weakness to Bug. | * Almost all Bug-type Pokémon evolve very early, perhaps due to their low stats.
