Characteristics

Bug Pokémon are amongst the first Pokémon types a Trainer can find in the wild. They generally evolve at very early levels compared to most other Pokémon. The type varies from strong to weak. Depending how said Pokémon is raised, they can provide annoyance with stat altering moves or hit hard with attacks such as Megahorn, X-Scissor, Signal Beam and Bug Buzz.

They are super effective against Psychic- and Template:Type2s, which are two types common in most teams, and also the very common Template:Type2, even though many Grass-types are also Poison-typed, making them neutral to Bug-type moves. The Generation I games weren't very kind to this type, having only three very weak damage-dealing moves, but many Pokémon of this type have improved over time.

Defensively, however, Bug-types are still rather weak, because of their low Defense and the fact that there are many that are part Flying, magnifying their weakness to Rock.

Notably, many Bug-type families evolve dependent on unique methods, such as an Template:P2, its Template:P2, Template:P2, or Template:P2.

In total, there are 47 Pokémon within the Bug-type.
