Because They cannot the understand sheer mental structre iofof the bug types mind that it breaks them.

Bugs have hive minds which they can't comprehend. Trying to understand a Bugs mind is like trying tp understand the morel and logic system that instead of it being Black and white with shades of Grey, it's Blue and Train with puddles of Meatloaf.

Dark type is basically what happened to Psycho Mantis. The sheer depravity of a Dark types mind is unfathomable.

That actually makes sense, actually. I was gonna say "cause bugs can't see through the dark, lol I dunno, dark needed another weakness and bug needed another strength."
Bugs act on instinct rather than of pure spite or underhandedness.

Fear of flying and fear of heights are 1 and 3. So the real question is: why isn't flying SE against psychic?
