>>49894435Poison is also massively useful against fairy. At least poison has great neutral coverage though. Like normal, it's not perfect, but it can sometimes be hard to swtich in on neutral hits.
And here's the thing, I play monotype bug and I don't even bother putting bug type attacks on my pokemon, except for maybe bug buzz. If I need to hit psychic types, knock off has huge distribution and is way better. If you need to hit dark types, everything gets close combat. If you need to hit grass, literally everything hits grass SE because being SE against a shitty type isn't that useful.
Until leech life, first impression, lunge, uturn get distributed to higher tier physical bugs, I will never use anything other than bug buzz.
