>>54853936Bug is resisted by almost half the types in the game, including the two most important ones steel and fairy. It also contributes very little defensively outside of a nice (but still superfluous cause flying exists) resistance to ground moves.
Its saving grace is that it has one of the best movepools in the game nowadays, between big dumb STAB like Megahorn and Bug Buzz, busted setup moves in Quiver Dance and Tail Glow, and useful gimmick/utility stuff like the only 100% trapping attack in the game in Infestation, First Impression, Sticky Web, Rage Powder, etc. And of course U-Turn.
Normal got destroyed with all its move cuts, I’d agree with
