What’s the worst type and why is it Bug?
>>
>>58524669
If you said that in gen 1 you would have been right. It's steadily gotten better over then gens.

>Defensively
Ice is worst type

>Offensively
Psychic lost it's edge post gen1 also poison isn't cutting it anymore.
>>
it's an absolute dogshit offensive typing but i'm curious if a mon that leans into its defensive profile could work with the right stats/movepool/ability. resistances to EQ and CC are still really good even if flying does that better

Incin uses bug tera in vgc
>>
>>58524772
Does it? I'm an active VGC player but I think I've seen Ghost, Fairy, Flying and Grass more
>>
still have no idea why smogon keeps banning mons made powerful by tera instead of banning tera

Bug at almost 45%

>>58524669
Isn't it actually Rock?
Bug has some awkward weaknesses and resistances, but it has its niche's

Rock is the one where it is indirectly countered by everything despite being framed as a 'defensive' type.
On top of that there almost every fossil pokemon is actively made worse by its rock typing.
>>
>>58524968
the problem is that it's paired with ground which equals x4 weaknesses.

>Rock/bug is alright
>rock/grass is alright
>rock/fighting is alright
>>
>>58524713
psychic isn't even remotely as bad as bug offensively

>>58524968
>Isn't it actually Rock?
no because rock is actually able to KO things
>>
>>58525213
I mean bug hits
>psychic
>grass
>dark

Psychic hits
>fighting
>poison

Do they?

Volcarona is possibly the worst mon to use for that meme, if you give it even one turn it will sweep you if you don’t have a hard counter
