* Statistically, the Bug type is the weakest; among the 18 elemental types, the Bug type has the lowest average base stat total (371.57). This may be a reference to the position of bugs in nature; they are small compared with other animals, and few of them are predators. | * Statistically, the Bug type is the weakest; among the 18 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. The only one | * Almost all Bug-type Pokémon evolve very early, perhaps due to their low stats. The only one that evolves very late is [[Volcarona]] possibly due to the fact that it is the second most powerful Pokemon in Gen 5 which is non legendary. 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. | ||
