You might put Ledian at the beginning of the video and say that he is the worst of the early-game bug-type Pokemon, but I believe that as the early bird gets the worm, Ledian has the right to graduate from this status and become the worst early game bird

On Shedinja, it infamously DIDN'T learn Swords Dance, but has always had a way to trick Swords Dance onto it by evolving Nincada at the precise level that Ninjask learns swords dance, and teaching Ninjask swords dance as it evolves. They eventually gave Shedinja swords dance because so many sets transfered from earlier gens had tricked swords dance on in this way.

I'd like to talk about a non fully evolved early bug. Charjabug! I know this is not a double's video, but he is so fun to use as a support mon with his unique ability and speed control. Eviolite makes him a tank, battery gives his partner a 30% sp attack boost, then you just spam thunder wave, electroweb, stringshot, struggle bug, light screen or whatever other supporting move. So so fun to use, I love Charjabug.

Mothim is one of my favorite Pokémon of all time. I like the design and colors, it has a cool face with those eyebrows/antennae and it's just a cute little guy. Wormadam is also one of my favorite pokemon, but it's more because of personal experience and less because of design appreciation. I guess it's cool that mothim has both decent atk and spatk. It's also cool how it can't make use of either

Dustox isn't great in competitive, but it is quite strong in nuzlockes, at least. It learns stalling moves like protect and moonlight very early by level up even in its debut generation, and is one of a short list of pokemon to learn toxic by level up in gen 4. Combine that with passable defensive stats for the early game and you have a great early game carry, especially in gen 3.

The main thing about Shedinja is that it boils everything down into a very binary option - if you can hit this, you get to fight on. If you cant, I win no qiestions asked. Which is an insane proposition when it comes to the metagame because Shedinja is weak to fire, just like the steel type which happens to be one of the dominant defensive types and of course people will prepare against it. But on a purely personal note, I want to sind an entire ode to Shedinja. You see, I happened to have a team of five solid members when I had my first ORAS playthrough. So when it was time to enter the Elite Four, a vastly underleveled Shedinja happened to be my best bet as a sixth team member. Shedinja can thrive on moves like Toxic or Will-o-Wisp. Modern AI is smart enough to switch if they can damage it by any means but if you lock them down? Wonder Guard walls them to the end of time. Steven had a Mega Metagross that would nuke everything I had in a single turn but that also couldnt touch Shedinja. And so, Will-O-Wisp and Wonder Guard ended up granting me my first ever ORAS hall of fame. I survived because this insane Metagross was prevented from hitting a level 34 afterthought of a pokemon.

Escavalier is a great trick room pokemon in doubles, its 20 speed and overcoat make it a great counter to amoonguss and while torkoal is a serious counter you can get around that with other pokemon so its fine and it does get razor shell and drill run I think so its not like it cant possibly win the speed tie and hit it with a super effective attack. Its great with swords dance life orb and with choice band, it just depends on what Pokémon you have on the team because escavalier has 4 move slot syndrome sometimes.

QOTD: I gotta say lokix, fun design in both a casual and competitive standpoint, and despite the low stats, they are distributed well enough for the whole kit of the Pokémon to function in such a significant way Centiskorch, vikavolt, and araquanid are also runner up favorites as they really challenged the idea of bugs being flat out terrible with their designs and competitive merit without resorting to cheap tactics like ninjask (they’re still not great but there was some attempt made with them)

Yeah. Guys like Beedrill, Beautifly, Dustox, etc.. may seem bad but they also evolve at level 10. A Beautifuly with 90 Special Attack or a Beedrill with 80 Attack just hit really hard at level 10. A Dustox with 70 Defense and 90 Special defense and Shield Dust is legitimately a wall at level 10. It walls of multiple early game gyms in Generation 3. Ledian is a truly special case because it doesn't even have that. With 35 Attack, even the likes of Pidgey and Rattata hit harder. Generation 2 had so much stupid design. It's only held in high regard with Gen 1 and 3 because of we were kids and nostalgia.

masquerain's access to intimidate is based off of the eye patterning on its wings, which is an evolutionary advantage some real world bugs have to ward off birds (and perhaps other predators). in terms of masquerain itself, i used it at the very start of BDSP with a choice scarf and unnerve to be able to outspeed and OHKO garchomp with ice beam even through a yache berry. it was not good, but it was pretty funny.

After receiving my third male Burmy in a row, I truly said to myself, "It's Mothim Monday, folks."

Vespiquen lost Heal Order during the Dexcut too. It now learns Roost which is arguably better, but it's yet another example of Game Freak deciding to just delete moves from the game rather than inventively rework them. Heal Order would have been really cool as a recovery move that healed your ally as well and maybe continued to heal for several turns similar to Aqua Ring (and also making it not just a Life Dew clone). While we're at it, Defend Order and Attack Order could be something similarly useful for Doubles. Maybe Defend Order stops being a Cosmic Power clone and instead now becomes a sort of "sacrifice a little health" move that grants you and your ally each a low HP sub? And Attack Order could be a stronger Infestation variant that doesn't trap but continues to deal damage like Salt Cure? Might be broken but Vespiquen needs the help

I know you're not looking at the VGC format, but Escavalier is one of the few pokemon who have a World Championship to it's name!

I love Venomoth, I regularly used it in lower tiers :) Tinted lens saved that mon, but with sleep powder and quiver dance to set up with it it can actually get out of hand pretty fast if you don't have a 4x resist, plus with gen 9 it can tera to gain new options :D I like tera grass for stab on Giga Drain, or fire with tera blast to be a fake iron moth

My favorite early bug is Charjabug, very much not Vikavolt. I've used Charjabug a ton in Doubles on trick room teams, even had fun using it and Chi Yu in a gen 9 triples tournament recently. And if you want you can run him as a sticky web setter in singles with eviolite. I love how him and Vikavolt specialize in opposite attacking stats.

Ariados is part of my favorite niche of "Terrible stats that managed to end up in ubers at some point due to a later gen tool they gave it" A.k.a Ariados, Qwilfish, Quagsire, Politoed, Azumarill, Xatu You gotta give the gen 2 dex that they go aganst the odds of their base stats

I'm so glad Lokix is good. And Araquanid, too. They're my favourites.

Masquerain has angry face wings. Close a bit your eyes and you'll see the intimidating dark red eyes and the nose in the middle. Like a flying angry face on water.

quite a few of these bugs are pretty good in vgc, araquanid and escavalier are both excellent trick room attackers for one thing, araquanid is a calyrex-ice counter that hits like a truck, and escavalier has been great in multiple formats (it even won worlds once). also vivillon has unique utility with rage powder, tailwind and friend guard which is a pretty powerful combo, in lower power level formats it's pretty nice and it's been used in gen 9

I figured that Bug was meant to be a check for the grass type, which at the time was primarily poison and the two were counters to one another It kind of goes into my theory that physical and special variances were supposed to have a sort of podium, calling out for people to come to their side respectively and elect a playstyle If you were too physical, you would be outclased by special. If you were too special, trickery will be employed to oust that dependency. But at the time, the trickster was either normal or dark which gets pummeled by fighting or capped by stats Fairy hadn't been introduced yet, so the normal type slotted them to be sort of one off, one hit wonders like Chansey. Fairy came along and really confused things resisting Fighting or having the most pear shaped stat distribution. Usually you can count on a typing being very good at one thing, but not so much the other such as Alakazam or Golem. We don't really get into all out resistance spreads until Gen IV with the split At any rate I was always fascinated by how gamefreak interpreted rock paper scissors checks. Like why Gengar was a ghost in concept, but ended up being poison and ruined by all things ground These checks made it hard to interpret what was actually effective. You end up thinking that all rock types resist other rocks because they were all predominantly ground early on. Making bug have this weird swing angle was probably Gamefreaks way of making younger players feel like they were getting somewhere really fast Then you get scyther and it has literally no bug moves. In game you just make things up as you go along, catching things like that because they look cool and maybe it will evolve into something even more crazy and badass. It's not supposed to be competitive. You're literally that early route bug catcher thinking they'll do the trick
