>>56095116that's fine I'd rather it be shit competitively than shit conceptually
May as well post this for the things to come.
>>56095128It’s the worst type conceptually too.>dude what if le animal from real life lmao
*makes the type viable*
>>56095116Make it super effective against Fighting and Fairy. That will fix it
>>56095186>dude just add type match ups that make zero sense conceptually lmaoNo.
>>56095121>>56095167Johto saved bug-types.
>>56095195>make zero sense conceptuallySay that again after explaining why Psychic is weak to Bug without pulling any asspull logic
>>56095206Bugs are extremely annoying and would disrupt the focus of a psychic attempting to channel its power.
>>56095276Then Bug type should be super effective against all types, schizo
>>56095314sounds good to me
>>56095116Wait until they release the "Locust swarm" weather which boosts bug type moves by 50% and nullifies indirect damage on bug types
>>56095116Counterpoint: Trainers like Aaron,Burgh, and Guzma exist. Katie's cool too
>>56095116Bug would be fine if Flying didn't exist>Oh cool this Pokemon resists Ground and Fighting? That's pretty valuable as those are both great offensive types! I think I'll us->Oh wait here is a Flying type that is immune to Ground, spikes, toxic spikes, and is generally better
>>56095186I hate when the subject is "Let's improve type X".People first idea is "Let's make other type worse", and usually are types they hate most.Give more support to bugs is more effective.A weather/field or immunity to a status condition.
All they have to do is remove resistances from other types, specially Ghost. Idek why Fighting resist Bug but whatever, maybe that to.Bug is resisted by so many types that is not even worth for neutral coverage, and being supereffective against some types is usually not worth it because many type combinations neutralize those weaknesses.Not even great effects from the moves save this type (Skitter Smack reduces sp atk, Pounce reduces speed, Bug Bite eats berries, etc). Most of the succesful Bug types are mostly better due to being dual type, and rearly good for being Bug, not in just in spite of it.>Volcarona would be better if it was pure Fire>Scizor would be worse as a pure Steel>Frosmoth would be better as a pure Ice or Bug>Heracross would be better as a pure Fighting, but its Bug type and signature move were required in its debut generation and the next one>Araquanid would be better if it was pure Water>Shuckle and Kleavor would be worse as pure Rock
>>56095121>Only good because of Steel typeCrashed
>>56096031>>Volcarona would be better if it was pure FireNo Bug type = no Quiver Dance (as proven by Iron Moth) so that's not true>Frosmoth would be better as a pure Ice or BugWould still be trash>Heracross would be better as a pure Fighting, but its Bug type and signature move were required in its debut generation and the next one>Araquanid would be better if it was pure WaterAlso not true, Bug/Fighting and Bug/Water are good type combinations and way better than single type
>>56095116hey at least it ain't psychic lmao
>>56095595But that wouldn't really help it cause most bugs type can not hit well due due to how many types resist the move. Other really bad issue is how little stats bug pokemon get compared to other types which hurt it way more as all bugs really need is actual stats to back up the typing, so they actually have a basis
>>56096065Is “psychic le bad” the newest meme campaignshitters like to parrot?
>>56096073Is it only because of Increiroar since Dark immune to Psychic moves?
>Remove Fairy and Ghost resistances>Make it resist DarkThere, fixed
>>56096064>No bug tupe, no quiver danceThat's an deliberate decision, not something required. Movepool is decided by the game designers, they can give whatever move they want to whatever pokemon they want. Hence the reason why many Normal types learn tons of moves even if they show no particular attributes to perform them.>Would still be trashAnd? I said better, not Le Uberino>Also not trueBug/Water and Bug/Fighting are good typings, but the former benefits the Bug type more than it benefits the Water type, while the Bug/Fighting is forced to have something to counter Flying types, usually Rock coverage>Heracross usually needs Rock Blast or Rock Slide>Tera Rock for Breloom is preferred for the same reasonAlso, Araquanid was mostly used for ots ability AND its Water type, since Liquidation would do tons of damage and Will-O-Wisp wouldn't work, the Bug was just there; the Bug type could be useful to switch in into a predicted Earthquake and then protect your mate with Wide Guard in the next turn, which is great
