The '''Bug type''' (Japanese: '''むしタイプ''' ''Bug type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers who specialize in Bug-type Pokémon are [[Bugsy]] of [[Azalea Town]], {{EF|Aaron}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], [[Burgh]] of [[Castelia City]], and [[Viola]] of [[Santalune City]]. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all Bug-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.
The '''Bug type''' (Japanese: '''むしタイプ''' ''Bug type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Bug-type [[move]]s are super effective against {{t|Dark}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, and {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Bug-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Flying}}-, and {{type|Rock}} moves.

==Characteristics==
===Defense===
Defensively, Bug types are not very useful because of their low {{stat|Defense}} and weaknesses to {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, and {{t|Rock}}, the most powerful moves of which are commonly known. Even their resistances to {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Fighting}}, the two types with the most offensive coverage, are of little use since many Pokémon of both types can learn Rock moves.
 
However, dual-type Bug/Flying and Bug/{{t|Poison}} Pokémon have an outstanding double resistance to Fighting, which can make up for their low Defense. They also have a double resistance to common {{t|Grass}} moves and can greatly pressure Pokémon of that type. The Bug type is perhaps most effective when paired with {{t|Steel}}, becoming immune to Poison and resistant to eight types in all at the expense of a double weakness to Fire.
 
===Offense===
Offensively, Bug types are somewhat flawed. Although they are {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} against {{t|Psychic}}, {{t|Dark}}, and {{t|Grass}} types, Bug types are unable to deal a lot of damage to many types, as seven types ({{t|Fire}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Poison}}, {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Fairy}}) resist Bug-type moves.
 
In [[Generation I]], Bug type can also deal super-effective damage to Poison, though this is reversed as of [[Generation II]]. Furthermore, their advantage over Psychic types is compromised by the relatively common typing of Bug/Poison types in Generation I, as well as Psychic types with Bug-resistant types. Despite these offensive flaws, the Bug type pairs effectively with {{t|Water}} and {{t|Ice}}.
 
Statistically, the Bug type is the weakest among the types as it has the lowest average base stat total. This is supported by the fact that many fully-evolved Bug-type Pokémon have below 400 base stat total. In Generation I, there were only three Bug-type moves, none of which were very powerful. As of [[Generation IV]], several powerful Bug-type moves were introduced and several Bug-type's movepools were expanded with wider coverage. Depending on their {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats, they can prove to be a nuisance with hard hitting attacks.
 
===Contest properties===
In {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Bug-type moves do not favor any one [[Contest condition|Contest category]].


==Pokémon==
==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 69 Bug-type Pokémon or 9.4% of all Pokémon (counting [[Form differences|forms]] and [[Mega Evolution]]s that change typing as different Pokémon), making it the 6th most common type.
As of [[Generation IX]], there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Bug-type Pokémon|pages}} Bug-type Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Bug-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon, making it the 6th most common type after {{t|Psychic}} and before {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Poison}}.

As of [[Generation IX]], there are 34 Bug-type [[move]]s, which makes up 3.64% of all moves (excluding those that are Bug-type only under certain circumstances), causing it to tie with {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Fairy}} as the 4th rarest type among moves, after {{t|Ice}} and before {{t|Poison}}.
Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Bug-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Grass (TCG)}}
Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Bug-type Pokémon are generally listed as {{TCG|Grass}}-type Pokémon.
Grass-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Fire}}-type Pokémon and have no resistance. They are strong against some {{TCG|Fighting}} and {{TCG|Darkness}} Pokémon, and until {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} were strong against some {{TCG|Water}} types as well, whilst {{TCG|Metal}} Pokémon resisted it until the {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}} expansion set before this resistance was brought back in Sword & Shield.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* On average, Bug-type Pokémon have the lowest base {{stat|HP}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and base stat total of all types. <!--As of Gen VII-->
* Bug is tied with {{t|Grass}} as the most resisted type, with seven types resisting each of them.
* This is the only [[type]]:
** That hasn't been assigned to a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** Without a Pokémon that has a [[regional form]] or is one.
** Without a Pokémon in the {{egg|Amorphous}} or {{egg3|Field}}.
* The Bug type has been paired with every other type except for {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Normal}}.
** This makes the Bug type the only type to not have been paired up with {{t|Dragon}}.
* [[Generation V]] introduced the most Bug-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 18, and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest Bug-type Pokémon, with three.
* [[Generation V]] introduced the most Bug-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 18, and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest Bug-type Pokémon, with three.
* [[Generation IV]] introduced the most Bug-type moves of any Generation, with seven, and Generations II and III introduced the fewest Bug-type moves, with three.
* [[Generation IV]] introduced the most Bug-type moves of any Generation, with seven, and [[Generation IX]] introduced the fewest Bug-type moves, with two.
* {{t|Flying}} type is one of the two types most commonly paired with the Bug type, along with {{t|Poison}}. However there are a number of Bug types, despite being able to fly, that are not Flying types, nor have the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, such as {{p|Beedrill}} and {{p|Venomoth}}.
* The {{t|Flying}} type is one of the two types most commonly paired with the Bug type, with the other type being {{t|Poison}}. However, there are a number of Bug types that are not Flying-types nor have the Ability {{a|Levitate}} despite being able to fly, such as {{p|Beedrill}} and {{p|Venomoth}}.
** Despite this, the only Bug-type Pokémon that can learn the move {{m|Fly}}, {{p|Volcarona}} and {{p|Genesect}}, are not Flying types.
** Despite this, the only Bug-type Pokémon that can learn the move {{m|Fly}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, {{p|Genesect}}, and {{p|Vikavolt}}, are not Flying-type Pokémon.
* Until {{game|Platinum}}, several Bug-type Pokémon ({{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Kricketot}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Wormadam}}, and {{p|Combee}}) were unable to learn any Bug-type moves naturally. Each of them is now able to learn {{m|Bug Bite}} by level up.
*** Out of these three Pokémon, Vikavolt is the only one that could not learn Fly in its introductory generation; Vikavolt was made able to learn Fly at [[level]] 50 and from [[TM06]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
* In [[Generation I]], the Bug type is super effective against {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, while the Poison type is {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} against Bug-type Pokémon. As such, this was the only case when two different types were super-effective against each other.
* Until {{v2|Platinum}}, several Bug-type Pokémon ({{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Kricketot}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Wormadam}}, and {{p|Combee}}) were unable to learn any Bug-type moves naturally. Each of them can now learn {{m|Bug Bite}} by level-up.
* In [[Generation I]], the Bug type is [[super effective]] against {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, while the Poison type is super effective against Bug-type Pokémon. As such, this was the only case when two different types were ever super-effective against each other.
** Additionally, since Generation I, the Bug and {{t|Fighting}} types are the only two separate types that resist each other.
* The Bug type was the most common 4× weakness in Generation I, with 11 Pokémon doubly weak to it, mainly due to Poison type having a weakness to it at the time.
* The Bug type was the most common 4× weakness in Generation I, with 11 Pokémon doubly weak to it, mainly due to Poison type having a weakness to it at the time.
* No Pokémon gains the Bug type upon evolving that did not already have it. It shares this distinction with the {{t|Normal}} type.
* Each of the three [[first partner Pokémon]] types have a different effectiveness when attacking a pure Bug-type Pokémon (Grass does ½× damage, Water does 1× damage, and Fire does 2× damage).
** Also, the Bug type is the only type to contain an evolution line consisting of a Pokémon ({{p|Surskit}}) with a unique type combination that evolves into a Pokémon ({{p|Masquerain}}) that lacks one.
** This trait is also shared with pure {{t|Steel}}-type Pokémon.
* No Pokémon gains the Bug type upon evolution that did not already have it. It shares this distinction with the {{t|Normal}} type.
** Additionally, no Pokémon gains the Bug type upon changing forms with the exceptions of {{p|Arceus}} and {{p|Silvally}}, which can change into any type.
* Of all Pokémon that [[List of Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level|evolve at or above a certain level]], 11 of the earliest-evolving Pokémon are of the Bug type.
* Despite having no [[TM]]s that are of the Bug-type in [[Generation III]], {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen beta#Sprites|internal data]] contains a sprite for Bug-type TMs.
* All Bug-type moves are eligible to be used in [[Sky Battle]]s.

Moves

As of Generation IX, there are 34 Bug-type moves, which makes up 3.64% of all moves (excluding those that are Bug-type only under certain circumstances), causing it to tie with Ghost and Fairy as the 4th rarest type among moves, after Ice and before Poison.

In the TCG

Main article: Grass (TCG)

Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Bug-type Pokémon are generally listed as Grass-type Pokémon.

Grass-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Fire-type Pokémon and have no resistance. They are strong against some Fighting and Darkness Pokémon, and until Sword & Shield were strong against some Water types as well, whilst Metal Pokémon resisted it until the EX Power Keepers expansion set before this resistance was brought back in Sword & Shield.

Trivia

  • On average, Bug-type Pokémon have the lowest base HP, Special Attack, and base stat total of all types.
  • Bug is tied with Grass as the most resisted type, with seven types resisting each of them.
  • This is the only type:
  • The Bug type has been paired with every other type except for Dragon and Normal.
    • This makes the Bug type the only type to not have been paired up with Dragon.
  • Generation V introduced the most Bug-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 18, and Generation VI introduced the fewest Bug-type Pokémon, with three.
  • Generation IV introduced the most Bug-type moves of any Generation, with seven, and Generation IX introduced the fewest Bug-type moves, with two.
  • The Flying type is one of the two types most commonly paired with the Bug type, with the other type being Poison. However, there are a number of Bug types that are not Flying-types nor have the Ability Levitate despite being able to fly, such as Beedrill and Venomoth.
    • Despite this, the only Bug-type Pokémon that can learn the move Fly, Volcarona, Genesect, and Vikavolt, are not Flying-type Pokémon.
      • Out of these three Pokémon, Vikavolt is the only one that could not learn Fly in its introductory generation; Vikavolt was made able to learn Fly at level 50 and from TM06 in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
  • Until Platinum, several Bug-type Pokémon (Shuckle, Kricketot, Burmy, Wormadam, and Combee) were unable to learn any Bug-type moves naturally. Each of them can now learn Bug Bite by level-up.
  • In Generation I, the Bug type is super effective against Poison-type Pokémon, while the Poison type is super effective against Bug-type Pokémon. As such, this was the only case when two different types were ever super-effective against each other.
    • Additionally, since Generation I, the Bug and Fighting types are the only two separate types that resist each other.
  • The Bug type was the most common 4× weakness in Generation I, with 11 Pokémon doubly weak to it, mainly due to Poison type having a weakness to it at the time.
  • Each of the three first partner Pokémon types have a different effectiveness when attacking a pure Bug-type Pokémon (Grass does ½× damage, Water does 1× damage, and Fire does 2× damage).
    • This trait is also shared with pure Steel-type Pokémon.
  • No Pokémon gains the Bug type upon evolution that did not already have it. It shares this distinction with the Normal type.
    • Additionally, no Pokémon gains the Bug type upon changing forms with the exceptions of Arceus and Silvally, which can change into any type.
  • Of all Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level, 11 of the earliest-evolving Pokémon are of the Bug type.
  • Despite having no TMs that are of the Bug-type in Generation III, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen's internal data contains a sprite for Bug-type TMs.
  • All Bug-type moves are eligible to be used in Sky Battles.
