They have virtually no significance, no use, besides being filler for the dex just because some designer wanted to make a firefly couple (And if you ask anyone at a glance, "firefly" would be the last thing on their minds). These 2 are right up their in bugshitmonnyness alongside the Wormadams in Gen 4, but at least those had a form gimmick. You compare them to even the Gen 3 bugs and they dont stack up:
>Nincada is part ground and has a cool gimmick with Shedinja>Masquerain was water as surskit and makes a face>Armaldo was a rock bug>The early bugmons of Wurmple and the cocoons had a neat if frustrating gimmick turning into 2 different butterfliesThese 2 on other hand... Nothing. Literally nothing. You can say whatever cope you want like ohhh theyee cute and whatnot but youre better than that.
