Ayy bugbros. What kinds of crawlies are you looking forward to seeing in SuMo?
i'd like to see a moth pokemon.
Maybe a well done grasshopper.
>>26315999
I feel like this might be a generic answer, but I'd like to see a mosquito or cockroach 'mon.
>>26315999
>reasonable:
An early three-stager that isn't just a butterfly
A split evo that isn't terrible
>less likely
Single-stager that I won't forget halfway through the game
Actually decent mid-late game bug
>won't happen
Something new and interesting
Evos for old bugs
>I cry myself to sleep at night
Fast special attacker Bug/Ice psuedolegendary

Are you the "gib lunar-counterpart to volcarona" anon?
OT: I don't like bugs that much but seeing what the regional 3-stager metamorphic bug's concept and unique selling point is always interesting, so maybe that
>What I want:
A large assortment of interesting and varied new bug types on par or approaching parity with Gen V's fantastic offerings.
>What I'm expecting:
Another Bug/Flying Moth or Butterfly, and that's it, much like Gen VI.

Gen 6 was disappointing for bugs after Gen 5 was so good to them.
>>26316781
No, is that a guy?
I had merely noticed that a bug/ice special sweeper would have been decent in the metagame I had conceived it in. This was several months ago, however.
any new bug dual
bug/psychic, fairy or dark sil vous plait
or a bug/water that isnt garbo
>>26317448
For bug/psychic
>Sulcophanaeus imperator
a decent Bug/Water
A Bug/Grass type that isn't PU.

>>26317562
But Gen 7 only has like 60 mons
>>26317606
>Bug/Water pokemon
But anon, we have Surskitand the evolution which changed to the fucking generic bug/flying again fucking hell
>>26317676
>but anon, we already have
No.
Stop that.
>>26317621
I think you mean Gen 6 and its still shitty.
>>26317732
My bad, and you're right on that regard. It's kinda lame that the only bug we got was a shitty gimmick
>>26315999
what kind of feasible bug pokemon could they make to help monobug fight talonshit?
I just use max defense/HP impish crustle which can almost always beat talonflame, but it has so much investment into defense, it isn't very useful otherwise besides toxic or setting stealth rocks, and is kind of dead weight once I beat talonflame, or if they don't have talonflame?
>>26317924
Crustle seems pretty interesting. What set do you have on him?
>>26317760
Hey, it might be the only bug but Vivillon is much more than a shitty gimmick. It completely averted many of the faults of the three stage cocoon bug and had an excellent movepool and an ability to abuse it.
Mosquito when
>>26317995
I kind of just have it solely as a talonflame counter. At the bulk I described crustle can survive three hits meaning you don't have to sack someone to get crustle in. As soon as I switch crustle in I use stealth rock so that if talonflame switches out I can kill it by just forcing it out. Otherwise I have rocky helmet on crustle, so between rocky helmet and recoil, talonflame should go below 50% anyways. Then I'll finish it off with rockslide if it stays in. I've been toying with the rest of the moveset though. Toxic just so it can do damage to other physical attackers, and the last move I'll experiment with knock off or some other attacking move, but unfortunately it's attack makes the last slot not very useful unless there's something I haven't considered
>>26318174
And I should note that it's important that crustle be able to survive three max attack choice band brave birds because otherwise if you die after two hits, you won't be able to switch in, so if talonflame switches out, it can kill you on the next time you try to switch in on talonflame

>>26317924
What does mono-Grass use to deal with Talonflame?Mega Galvantula with +20 base Speed might help. A Shuckle evo with extant HP and Attack would also help.
>>26318174
>>26318187
So max HP/Def, Impish Nature, Shell Armor(I assume as you say it's supposed to survive multiple hits anyway), Rocky Helmet.
-Stealth Rock
-Rock Slide
-Toxic
-[Whatever]
Honestly, the idea here being that it doesnt attack much makes me think of just putting Rest on the last slot.
>>26318278
Mono grass's best bet is a defensive tangrowth. Tangrowth can tank a hit and kill with rockslide. Not exactly the best option though because I don't think tangrowth can really tank two brave birds (maybe it can) so it has a hard time switching in, meaning you have to sack someone else, rock slide can miss, and a smart talonflame will just use a super effective u turn out of there. Best bet is to make sure stealth rocks are up ASAP and hopefully kill it through forced switches
Unless Galvantula gets a ton of defense as well, it still won't be able to tank a brave bird. Crustle could be interesting though as it's the only other bug type that can survive three brave birds, crustle just can't do much in return
>>26318269
gen 4 was the best for bug bros. Sure in terms of new pokemon we only got yanmega, but bugs really benefited from stealth rocks, x scizzor, bug buzz, u turn, and technician scizor. Well I can't remember for sure if that was all gen 4, but I feel like it was.
Then gen 5 was pretty good with volcarona and galvantula. Lots of other great bugs but none of the rest were really OU material
>>26318307
Yeah, I considered rest, I just didn't want it to be dead weight were the opponent to start boosting. Hopefully toxic and rocky helmet could help with that.
I also considered counter to kind of make it an answer to physical threats in general, but in the time I've had to practice with it (which isn't much) I didn't really find time to use counter
>>26315999
Bug pseudo
>>26318269
You got 3 megas.
And honestly, fire types have had it worse. Only reason fire type is relevant is because of starters. Minus starters, fire type is pretty shitty.
Gen 5 you got Scolipede, Galvantula, and Volcarona. I don't believe that you even use bug types. Get out fake bugbro, only true bugbros can accept the glory of bug type.
>>26318438
admittedly scolipede wasn't really that great until gen 6
>>26316781
>Are you the "gib lunar-counterpart to volcarona" anon?
Reporting for duty.
Bug/Water, Bug/Fairy, Bug/Ice, etc as long as it's new or extremely rare, then GIB. We need more powerful bugs.
>>26318420
Looking at its moveset, its making me want to try a Rock Wrecker Crustle. Most of the damage its gonna do will be coming from Stealth Rocks, Rocky Helmet, and Toxic anyway. Best try to hit hard when you do decide to actually attack.
I'd go with Stone Miss at the very least.
Swiggity swag.

Bug legendaries or pseudo that isnt shit
New species based bugs (fly, mosquito, flea etc...)
Some new combinations with bug (bug/dark, bug/fairy, bug/dragon, bug/water and bug/ghost that arent gimmicky or just starter forms)
>specific fears
only having regional bugs
more moths or butterflies
the bugs just use the most overused types (bug/flying, bug/poison, bug/grass and yes, even if it's great competitively speaking, bug/steel)

I wanna see a dung beetle that carries a sort of energy storage cocoon and evolves into an atlas moth.
Any strong Water/bug

Another mega heracross.
>>26316615
Nice
Preaching to the choir here, there really should have been a roach Pokemon by now.
It's probably the most notorious bug in existence, and a Bug/Dark typing would be awesome.
>>26320648
That's not a House Fly
>>26320720
If you lived in a New Orleans ghetto like I do, a cockroack IS the House Fly.
>>26315999
I've posted this in a couple of threads before, it's kinda edgy but it's gotten good feedback. Also when you consider that Giratina is literally Satan it's really not that edgy.
It's a set of legendaries based on the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse crossed with pest insects.
Famine
Bug/Ground Locust
Pestilince
Bug/Poison Mosquito
War
Bug/Fighting Cockroach
Death
Bug/Dark Fly
I know the original story is Conquest, not Pestilence, but I think Pestilence works better from a thematic standpoint for Pokemon designs.

This leans a little too far into Gen V "Genie & deer" territory, but a batch of bug legendaries is something I can fuck with.
What is up with /vp/'s obsession of cockroaches as of late?
Every "new Pokemon ideas" thread and roaches are one of the most requested.
I want a better rock/bug pokemon, preferably a fossil pokemon based on extinct giant insects.

>>26315999
more than one bug would be nice. vivillon line is fun but c'mon GFhonestly, bug has the highest concentration of god tier mons already, so its okay if they give other types some love. Gen V was the Bug and Fighting gen, how about gen VII is the Ice and Fire gen. those types need some love.

Also yfw Lunaala is part bug
Weevils, grasshoppers(unlikely for an island theme), jumping spiders, and assassin bugs. One thing I'd really like to see are Carrion and Bombardier Beetles.
