Why is infestation a contact move?
You're literally summoning bugs to attack the target. It's not like you're touching them

The same reason "throw a rock at your opponent" is physical. The bugs are physical objects.

The bugs you summon are making contact, and holding your enemy in place. They take out the damage they take from rough skin or a rocky helmet on you.

Most physical rock moves do not make contact

there aren't any generic "bugs". The pokemon using the move is the one infesting the target

First off, it's a special move not physical.
Second, rock throw is not a contact move

So..My mr.mime is infesting the target.
You're dumb
Also the flavor text for the move says otherwise

Which is really fucking weird: Stone Edge, rock blast and Rock Wrecker don't make contact, and they're the only rock type moves worth using for damage.

I guess you see rock slide in triple battles a bit,

Though head Smash is also pretty good... to bad none of the pokemon with the rock head ability learn it.

I've always seen it as a Pokemon (take Pangoro, for example) is ALREADY infested, but is okay with it, and is just infesting the other Pokemon through contact.

It's still better than the fucking travesty that is the Ghost/Dark mixup that both Gen II and Gen III had.

Why is water shuriken a physical attack and not special? Some things just don't make sense in this crazy game called Pokémon.

How do you think you're infesting them?

You're using a vine to trip the opponent.

Oh, shut the fuck up. Just because they're hard to obtain doesn't mean it's impossible nor should they not be considered. That's like saying shiny Vespiquens shouldn't be considered as legit pokemon owned by players because they're hard to obtain.
