>Bug types now have a mini versions of Tinted Lens and Compound Eyes built into their Bug type STAB>Bug type moves used by Bug types get a x1.15 accuracy buff to only Bug moves, and deal x1.5 damage (x0.75 and x0.375 respectfully) against resisted attacks>If the Bug type has either Compound Eyes or Tinted Lens, they use the ability’s buff insteadHow much better are Bug types now?
this is gay
>Volcarona now rolls over everything and anything
>>58368203Volcarona wouldn’t be that much stronger.It already has Fire STAB which covers most of Bug Buzz’s resistances neutrally. Sometime Volcarona doesn’t even run Bug Buzz anyways.The biggest winner would be Heracross since Fighting doesn’t cover for Flying and Ghost, and Megahorn becomes nearly 100% accurate.
>>58368033Volcarona and Scizor are even better, while everything else stays the same. Bugs need an actual distinct buff that isn't just "more damage." Something like "Bug types are immune to redirection" because you can't mind game or distract a mindless bug. Now Bug, already a type super effective against Psychic, the main Trick Room setter type, would have a niche for stopping Trick Room.
>>58368033The already stronger bug types get stronger while the weaker are still dogshitNothing changes
>>58369647>>58369685The stronger Bug types don’t often use their STAB outside of U-turn.The point of this buff is to make Bug STAB more spammable, which for weaker bugs is way bigger since typically that’s their best option.Escavalier appreciates the buff more because it makes Megahorn really devistating for non x4 resists, while Scizor appreciates the slightly stronger U-turn, it’s not a make or break buff.
>>58368232It's one of the better(best?) Bug-type Megahorn users and would really like more dmg and acc on its second STAB. Makes it a lot easier to wear down checks that way.
>>58370009One of the best Megahorn users doesn’t mean much in a world with Kingambits and Great Tusks of singles, or the Incineroar and Urshifus of Doubles.The main issue is how many things resist Bug. It’s tied with Grass for the most amount of things that resist it, and unlike Grass, Bug doesn’t hit bulkier types like Water or Ground to compensate. It makes Bug usually a bad type to spam with.There is a reason why the best offensive bugs in the game often forgo Bug STAB and why even Bug with normal stats are still pretty bad. This buff would give those Bug types more of a niche since clicking powerful Megahorns aren’t so easy to punish any more.
>>58368033>Bugs all have unlimited Protean so they dont have to be shit bug type anymoreFixed
>>58368033Is there any relevant Bug type move that is not 100% accuracy already, aside from Megahorn?
