Defensively, Bug-types are still flawed, because of their low {{stat|Defense}} and the fact that there are many that are part {{t|Flying}}, multiplying their weakness to {{t|Rock}}. In this way their resistance to {{t|Ground}} and  {{t|Fighting}}, two extremely powerful types, are of little use, as it is common for both types to master Rock moves.

Dual-type Bug/Flying and Bug/{{t|Poison}} Pokémon have an outstanding double resistance to {{t|Fighting}}, which can make up for their low {{stat|Defense}}. They also have a double resistance to common {{t|Grass}} moves, meaning they would take very little damage from such notorious moves as {{m|Giga Drain}}, {{m|Energy Ball}}, or {{m|Petal Dance}}.

The Bug/Steel Pokémon are also interesting as they have only {{t|Fire|one}} weekness and ten resistances.


Notably, many Bug-type families evolve dependent on unique methods, such as an {{p|Nincada|extra slot in the party}}, {{p|Yanma|current moveset}}, {{p|Burmy|gender}}, {{p|Wurmple|personality values}}, {{p|Kurumayu|happiness}}, being traded with an {{p|Scyther|item}} or even with {{p|Kaburumo|a specific}} {{p|Chobomaki|Pokémon}}.
