    Bug types might not be the most powerful Pokémon competitively but since gen 5 and especially since gen 7 they have become one of the most fun types to use during a playthrough. Their diversity in second typing and design has made them a lot more interesting than in the first gens where there were few stand outs that were often crippled by very shallow move pools among other issues.

      I think U-Turn should get a massive decrease in distribution honestly. Only bug types should be learning it to give a reason to use them over Pokémon with a better typing and u turn anyways.
      It’s supposed to be a specific Dragonfly Maneuver which is mostly only performance by insects. In the anime, it’s shown the be the target using the force of their attack to propel off the enemy. I can vaguely get Pokémon like Lando learning it, and even some fighting archetypes, but why on earth does Maushold learn it?

    My absolute favourite of all the teams I used during gen 8 was built around hail with Arctozolt and Pheromosa with Blizzard. It held Specs but ran Close Combat for fighting STAB since it doesn't care about a defensively detrimental nature. I made it for an unofficial 6v6 doubles teambuilding contest, but it was fun and good enough to win a couple tournament rounds, so I also tweaked it for the ingame ladder. Bug is my favourite type so I love it whenever they get their time to shine. AV Slither Wing is my gen 9 secret weapon!

  • @snowscapeddreams6300
    @snowscapeddreams6300 Před 12 dny +34

    Vivillon used to have access to a signature move called 'powder'. It was a status move that would trigger if the opponent used a fire-type move. Unfortunately, access to this move was taken from it, and it hasn't appeared on any other Pokémon. As a concept, it's pretty cool and I've never really seen it utilized. I'm sure it could've been interesting.
    Essentially, if the target afflicted with 'powder' used a fire-type move, instead of dealing damage it would blow up in the user's face, dealing damage. I can understand why they got rid of it, it was such a niche move and a signature for a completely underused mon, but still. Give my man Vivillon a W.

    I think Emergency Exit should be tweaked to allow Golisopod to attack the attacker with whatever move was selected as it switches. It allows both sides to play smartly around it- if the golisopod is at ~60% HP, the opponent can attack into golisopod with a pokemon that resists or otherwise eats the hit from golisopod. The user of golisopod can set up good switch ins with pivot mons like amoongus or incineroar while positioning golisopod in a way that makes the exit part of emergency exit still worthwhile, and golisopod isn't shafted by an ability that hurts more than it helps because it still gets to attack even if it's being forced out at an inopportune time.

    Ribombee always had a special place in my heart since SM days. Neat typing, solid speed, decent special attack, and a solid move in Pollen Puff made for a fun pokemon to use. Only shame is the very frail defensive stats and the lack of move pool, but I still liked using it whenever I got the chance

In Ultra Series, however, I used it alongside Scarf Cloud Nine Golduck (and NO Mega despite them being legal) and got consistent top 4 results at Premier Challenges and an MSS, which I'm proud of.
