      My biggest issue with it is that once they add restricteds where does it go? Even if they keep their breakneck pace of releasing a new mainline game every 3ish years we have a whole year before the next game comes out. Top 10 ban list? Full teams of restricteds?

      Scizor could cook too.
      There is the option of terastalization too since bug would be valuable for its offense over defense here. Tera Bug Heatran comes to mind. Our biggest problem for bug types is Incineroar really since so many bug moves are physical.

    • @greenblaze9406

      Incineroar laughs at bugs though

    • @flygawnebardoflight
      @flygawnebardoflight Před 3 měsíci

      I've been exploring this concept some more and the biggest problem I found with it is just how ineffective bugs are against the dark types. Strong Neutral hits are good and all but unless you're a specs Vikavolt or Volcarona it isn't worth it. And speaking of Volcarona, it's fire typing is more valuable than it's bug typing. It's the only bug type, including terastalization, who might make a meta impact.
      Also Incineroar's Fire+Dark STAB coverage ironically makes it just as effective as the bug types. Which is interesting because it's also the best tera-bug leech life spammer.
