If Steven and Iris are considered Steel- and Dragon-type champions respectively with only three Pokémon of such types in their primary matches, then Alder has what it takes to be a Bug-type champion with Accelgor, Escavalier and Volcarona (plus a Bouffalant with Megahorn)

U-Turn isn’t just good because it deals damage while pivoting (it’s admittedly only a small part of it), but because it happens during the turn. This allows you to react to any potential switches and put in a check or counter to whag they switched into, which is why it’s incredible on something that forces switches like Genesect and Landorus-T. A slow U-Turn user like Incineroar can let you get something in safely as you tank the attack and then switch. The damage thing is notable as well on fast U-Turn users just because you deal damage and then can switch something in to take a hit better, but that’s only a tiny portion of why it’s good.

Here's an upated version of this video: Gen 8: the new pokémon was Kleavor, introduced in Leyends Arceus (Arkoos). We got a new move, Skitter Smack with 70 BP and 90 acc and reduces the target's special attack by one level. Gen 9: the new pokémon are Spidops, Lokix, Rabsca and Slither Wing. None of them were particullary very used. The new moves are Pouce with 50 BP and 100 acc that reduces the target's speed in 1 level, and Silk Trap is for Spidops which acts like Protect, but if the target does contact, its speed is reduced in one level. The specialist is Katy, Cortondo's gym leader. Please like this comment so more people can know this info.

I've loved bug types since my shiny Scolipede. Then I gained even more appreciation for it with Guzma's whole thing of going from a child who only ever got third place at best to a force to be reckoned with, similar to the Bug type's changes over the years. Then I decided it was my favorite type when I got Fimbul the Frosmoth (named after Fimbulwinter, which started Ragnorok) and Surt the Centiskorch (named after a giant with a fiery sword who battled during Ragnorok). Bugs should also be strong against Fairy. It would balance some things out I think.

i would love it. but i personnaly would like 2 know more about the steel type introduction in the game and it's changes for gen 6
@dragames
4 жыл бұрын
@@kovi2772 Here's the basic gist. Steel type was strange because people were at first like "Wow it's so overpowered" then people were like "wow... this sucks" because steel didn't get great steel moves... and it was hardly good against anything, and the high threats in gen 2 gameplay (fire and fighting) made quick work of it, especially since all steel types had low special defense, a fire move even without stab bonus would just wreck it. People just thought "Look at normal pokemon not touching me. OH what's this? NO POISON!! Screw your Toxic strategies!!" ... and then the good players came and ruined all perspectives on it. Skarmory was considered at least decent not because of steel typing, but because of stats and flying made it not get wrecked at least by fighting pokemon. (oh, doesn't anyone remember how much Heracross was hated at tournaments in gen2 days? Again, it was the same thing. People thought Heracross sucked. Until someone started beating most of the first wave meta game with a BUG/FIGHTING pokemon to ruin the psychic, ice, steel types that were used at first. It sort of reminds me of Gen1 persian... everyone hated it... until someone started using it in tournaments to bubblebeam a switched in Rydon/Golem for a 1hko or a 2hko at worst.(people didn't know about it's movepool nor that with its high speed and high special stat it was ridiculously powerful) But that's every generation, you have an initial wave of what people think are OP, and then you get the overlooked pokemon that has ridiculous counterplay and then cements itself as not just being counterplay, but just OP in general. Steel type has only seen a resurgence due to Fairy's inclusion because Fairy has only poison and Steel as a weakness. Poison and steel both have awful offensive capabilities though, but are considered decent for defensive matchups.... except again, that whole steel is weak to fire/fighting... poison being weak to ground/psychic isn't seen as that bad anymore because those two types have gained numerous types to match up against it. but because fairy is as powerful as it is currently, you still are going to want a poison or a steel user. LUCKILY most poison and steel types are dual typed. (honestly a shame that there's not a steel/poison pokemon like Tetanus the pokemon cause that would cover a lot of it's meta gameplay matchups)

@@NoobyPlayzYT The joke is because flareon's movepool has rendered it completely useless in tournament play ever since Gen1. Even in the gens where fire was actually useful due to steel/ice/grass types that also didn't have a secondary typing that resisted fire (think most ice pokemon used to have a water typing too. Now we see a lot of just Ice types. Or Ice + something that isn't water). But flareon lacked the stats to make it worth using even without the moves. So, it could use flamethrower. Big woopdeewoop. So can any other fire pokemon that beat it in every stat (Cough arcanine). It lacked support moves to use it in any other format that isn't 1v1 (cough, arcanine, ponyta, ninetails). It also just lacked any ability TO be used for a strategy even in 1v1. Flare blitz doesn't fix things even today.

Beedrill with Twinneedle and Focus Energy is insane fun. Watching somethings hp melt from 5 crits on a furry attack is magical.
Update: Pokémon Legends Arceus added a new evolution to Scyther: Kleavor, which weirdly still has the same base stat total as Scyther and Scizor. Skitter Smack was added in the Isle of Armor and was guaranteed to lower the target’s Special Attack. In Gen 9 (Scarlet/Violet), the new fully-evolved Bug types were Spidops, Lokix, Rabsca, and the Paradox Pokémon Slither Wing. All of these were pretty underwhelming, aside from arguably Rabsca with Revival Blessing. Two new moves were added: Pounce has low power, but lowered the target’s Speed, and Silk Trap was Spidops’ signature move which functioned like Protect, but also lowered the opponent’s Speed on contact. The Bug Type specialist was the Cortondo Gym Leader, Katy, who Terastalizes her Teddiursa into the Bug type.

Pokémon White got me to like Bug Types. I first liked Escavalier, he is a knight bug Pokémon. I had to trade Karrablast with Shelmet to evolve him and then I realized that Escavalier and Accelgor go together so then I added Accelgor on my team. Then I looked at Volcarona and I wanted to get him on my team. I got an egg from a Treasure Hunter, the egg hatched and I got a male Larvesta and evolved it to Volcarona. Since Larvesta and Volcarona were limited, I wanted to make more Larvestas so I went to the Relic Castle and encountered a female Volcarona. I caught it and brought my two Volcarona’s to the daycare and I got lots of eggs of Larvestas. I wanted another bug type on my team so I checked Crustle. He had the strongest move on the team, Rock Wrecker. So I added him on my team. I wanted another bug so I then caught Venipede. I haven’t evolved Venipede yet but I will soon. Then I got Galvantula. The bugs types in Unova were so cool and strong. That’s why I like bug types now. My favorite type is dark, but bug type is one of my favorites.

It's interesting Bugs were so weak considering the initial Pokemon games were made primarily out of love for insects, and since many members of Game Freak were (and still are) konchu-shonen. Though you could say starting out weak and growing into something splendid is the very definition of the Japanese appreciation for mushi. That being said it's odd the region based on France of all places only got one new Bug evolutionary line considering how revered French entomologist Jean-Henri Fabre and his book of insects are in Japan. You'd think Kalos would get some of the most varies and interesting Bug types they could come up with, but it's just Vivillon's line (though to be fair Vivillon is pretty cool).
