Bug Discussion Thread

Alright guys, there's been a lot of drama in the bug community lately regarding the inclusion of drapion in my tier list last thread, and as much as I hate to admit it he really isn't a bug type anymore. No more drapion talk in these threads, sorry.

or at least, that's what I would say if I were a little bitch about to turn my back on my boy drapion. BUG EGG GROUP IS ALSO A QUALIFIER FOR THE BUG DISCUSSION THREAD
>DRAPION STATUS:
HE"S IN BOYS
>FUCKING FLYGON STATUS
WHO CARES, HE"S IN BOYS

seethe if you want they're bugs too with ingame evidence to support this

Does anyone else really admire dustox? I think he is such a great example between the minimalist designs of the first generations and the heavy handed design that came later- your attention is grabbed first usually to the circles on its wings, before settling on what is undoubtedly the most endearing feature: those triple-dotted eyes. Such a masterwork of bug design that doesn't overdo it like some of those sporting a more gaudy carapace.

who is best buggie?
for me, it's a 3-way tie between scizor, heracross, and volcarona.

Personally I've never been the biggest fan of volcarona, for my money pinsir or durant deserves that spot next to the other big two.

I used to not think much of it until my current Volt White 2 run. Indeed, the triple-dotted eyes are unsettling yet charming. Its antennas really do it for me, they're so cute! Possibly one of my favorite color schemes on a Pokemon, too.

Well fuck him, then. Shuckle is irrefutably a bug-type, no amount of complaining and pants-pissing can change that. It also happens to be one of the best bug-types in the game.

>Thread Question
What irl bug would you like to see as a Pokemon?

Mine is pic related.

A speedy bug/ice mirror spider that evades predators by flashing them with light refracted from its abdomen.

And its rival, a tanky bug/ground trapdoor spider that locks its prey into the battle before its none the wiser.

Yeah, it always gets honorable mentions in my experience. Regardless, I'm happy to see others Sheddy bros

I really like the trapdoor spider idea, I could see some cool designs coming out of the spider hiding in its trap or something.

Gotta be some kind of worm for me, don't think we have any yet. Could always go with some kind of bigass sandworm for the final stage

I'm no competetive player, but as far as I can tell the thing needs buffs pretty much across the board. Its good moves use its attack stat and yet they have all the power of a chansey, without any of the defenses to back it up. It seems to have a bit of a punching theme with the iron fist ability and the four arms, so I'd probably lean into that by changing it to bug/fighting and giving it some offense to be at least usable against offline content postgame, even if you wouldn't want to take it into a tournament. Thing is all that sounds more like an evolution or something.

Bug and Ice would be a really cool combination to see, too bad for the times 4 weakness to rock.

I'd like to see a bug/dark like pic related, it would be a bulky/attacker but mainly focusing on bulk. The one thing to make it special would be that it has swift swim as Toe bitters are very good swimmers or strong jaw if you want to focus on attack.
It's moves would be Crunch, any elemental fang, Pursue and Dive.

pic unrelated but the Scyther line for me, I love the shit out of mantises and I feel like they're an interesting depiction of them. Moth and beetle Pokemon are usually very good too.

Also... Bug/Dark type Pokemon when?

We need a Dark/Bug type. That combo has gone unused for way too long. Another anon mentioned worms so maybe a nightcrawler Pokemon with huge jaws?
