{{type|Bug}}-[[Types|type]] [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] are one of the eighteen Pokémon elemental types. Bug-type Pokémon are generally arthropod-like Pokémon. Bug-type moves mostly use the Attack stat. However, some moves, such as Signal Beam, use the Special Attack stat. Bug-type attacks typically involve the use of the body parts of the bugs. Famous trainers that specialize in Bug-type Pokémon are [[Bugsy]], the gym leader in [[Azalea Town]] in [[Johto]], [[Burgh]], the gym leader in [[Castelia City]], [[Aaron (Elite Four)|Aaron]], the first of the [[Elite Four]] in the Pokémon League of Sinnoh, and [[Alder]], the Champion of the [[Unova]] Reigon. They commonly evolve at low levels, as early as lvl 7. Bug-types are resistant to {{type|Fighting}}-types.

The {{Nihongo|{{type|Bug}} [[Types|type]]|むしタイプ|Mushi taipu}} is one of the eighteen [[Pokémon Types|Pokémon elemental types]].

{{type|Bug}}-type Pokémon are characterized by their fast growing, as they don't take long to [[Evolution|evolve]]. {{type|Bug}}-type Pokémon live mostly (not all of them) in forests, some of them are a little harder to find because they live atop the trees.
Bug-types are strong against {{type|Grass}}, {{type|Dark}}, and {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon but are weak to {{type|Fire}}, {{type|Flying}}, and {{type|Rock}}-types.
 
  +
==Weaknesses and resistance==
 
  +
The majority of the Pokémon with this type are based on real-life invertebrates (spiders, scorpions, butterflies, moths, etc.).
A type chart displaying the weaknesses and resistance of a Pokémon when damaged by a move. Empty fields are moves that do normal damage.

  +
From [[Generation V]] on, it is known that {{type|Bug}}-type Pokémon are preferred by artists, mostly because they have beautiful colors and have a stoic and cheerful character. It can be said that {{type|Bug}}-type Pokémon represent the beauty of nature. Many of their evolutionary lines are similar to the life cycles of insects like that of beetles and butterflies; i.e. the first stage like larvae, second like pupae, then its final evolution into its mature, adult form.
  +
  +
The known famous {{type|Bug}}-type Trainers are: [[Bugsy]], the second Gym Leader of [[Azalea Town]] in [[Johto]]; [[Aaron]], the first member of the [[Elite Four]] of the [[Pokémon League (Sinnoh)]]; [[Burgh]], the third Gym Leader of [[Castelia City]] in [[Unova]]; [[Viola]], the first Gym Leader of [[Santalune City]] in [[Kalos]]; and [[Katy]], the first Gym Leader of [[Cortondo Gym]] in Paldea.

==Relations with other types==

  +
*They're strong against the {{Type|Grass}} type because members of this type commonly consume plants and similar organic material.
  +
* They're strong against the {{Type|Dark}} type because members of this type are well adapted to operating in darkness and don't have the mental capacity to fear the dark. Also, criminals are often active at night, and when they least expect it, bugs can swarm around them.
  +
*They're weak against the {{Type|Flying}} type because many members of this type are ground dwellers, vulnerable from attacks from up above. Further, many members of this type are commonly preyed upon by Flying type members.
  +
*They're weak against the {{Type|Fire}} type because fire consumes the exoskeletons endemic to members of this type rather easily, and where fire is both a bane and repellent to insects, either keeping them at bay with its increasing heat or drawing them into its flame with its light.
  +
*They're weak against the {{Type|Rock}} type because the strength of their exoskeletons rarely can endure the weight or impact of rock or stone.
  +
*They resist the {{Type|Ground}} type because many bugs like beetles live inside the ground. Also, bugs can dig their way out if they're buried in sand, dirt, or mud.
  +
*They resist the {{Type|Fighting}}-type because it is difficult to hit an insect since they are small and move quickly.
  +
*The {{Type|Fighting}} type resists them because the strength of their exoskeletons rarely can endure the weight or impact of physical blows.
  +
*The {{Type|Poison}} type resists them because members of that type have developed natural resistances to poisons, rendering many poison-based bug attacks ineffective.
  +
**This type was vulnerable to Poison type attacks in [[Generation I]], but this weakness was possibly removed due to members of this type's rapid adaptation to poisonous material.
  +
*The {{Type|Ghost}} type resists them because members of this type cannot easily transcend the spiritual barrier members of that type hide behind in order to attack them. Also because parasites can't infect someone who is already dead.
  +
*The {{Type|Steel}} type resists them because bugs and insects don't have enough force to make any physical change to metals.

Type Bug
Type Bug HOME

The Bug type (Japanese: むしタイプ, HepburnMushi taipu) is one of the eighteen Pokémon elemental types.

Bug-type Pokémon are characterized by their fast growing, as they don't take long to evolve. Bug-type Pokémon live mostly (not all of them) in forests, some of them are a little harder to find because they live atop the trees.

The majority of the Pokémon with this type are based on real-life invertebrates (spiders, scorpions, butterflies, moths, etc.).

From Generation V on, it is known that Bug-type Pokémon are preferred by artists, mostly because they have beautiful colors and have a stoic and cheerful character. It can be said that Bug-type Pokémon represent the beauty of nature. Many of their evolutionary lines are similar to the life cycles of insects like that of beetles and butterflies; i.e. the first stage like larvae, second like pupae, then its final evolution into its mature, adult form.

The known famous Bug-type Trainers are: Bugsy, the second Gym Leader of Azalea Town in Johto; Aaron, the first member of the Elite Four of the Pokémon League (Sinnoh); Burgh, the third Gym Leader of Castelia City in Unova; Viola, the first Gym Leader of Santalune City in Kalos; and Katy, the first Gym Leader of Cortondo Gym in Paldea.
