There's no denying that you can't resist the charm of Bug Pokémon. After all, who doesn't love having a Beedrill on their team? But having one and knowing them are two different things. If you are a new Pokemon trainer just starting out, this one is for you. So with that, let's talk about Bug Pokemon's strengths, weaknesses, and resistances here.
Easy ways to remember Pokemon Type Chart
Like few Pokémon out there, Bug-type has undergone various changes over the years. When Bug Pokémon were first introduced in the first generation of games, Bug Pokémon's main strengths were being very effective against Poison, Grass, and Psychic-type Pokémon. This means that a Beedrill will annihilate a Bulbasaur and a Ghastly.
However, this Pokemon element had its characteristics slightly reworked from the second generation. Instead of being strong against poison, the bug-type is now strong against grass Pokemon, psychic and dark monsters.
Like their strengths, the Bug-type also had their weaknesses adjusted over the generations. When introduced, bug Pokemon's weaknesses included flying Pokemon, poison, rock Pokemon, and fire-type Pokemon. But including Poison under Strengths and Weaknesses barely made sense and felt like an anomaly.
