Bug should resist Fairy not the other way around.
What is this bullshit.
Why? Based on...solely mechanics? Or there is a lore reason for Bug to resist Fairy? Not antagonizing with you, just curious.
Bug type needs a buff
>>27166209
Bug type is supposed to be viable only during the early game and completely useless after. It's working as intended.
>>27166169
Is there a lore reason why Fairy should resits Bug?
>>27166169
Can you imagine a little fairy (think Tinkerbell) accidentally flying into a spider's web or coming face-to-face with a stag beetle? It makes perfect sense to me for Bug to resist and hit Fairy super-effectively.

I think you've been living under a rock for the ast 3 gens, yanmega, mega pinsir/heracross, and 90% of gen V mons can disprove you. Hell, even vivillion is incredibly powerfull with the right ability and moves
>>27166270
As someone who likes Yanmega I can tell you with complete certainty that Yanmega sucks. It really needs both of its abilities to function.
>>27166297
Excuse me? speed boost with protect, giga drain, air slash and bug buzz is not exactly scizor levels of bug perfection, but its very, very good.
>>27166270
Nah, still shit when placed next to proper pokemons.
>>27166315
>Placed next to proper pokemons
I don't think I understand, what do you consider a "proper pokemon"?

Bug types are cool
>>27166328
Anything that's not a shit bug type.
>>27166297
On Gen 3, Scyther was a pretty viable threat. Not to mention Ninjask being a super common lead pokemon.
>>27166349
I'm hurt anon...
>>27166223
Fairies in folklore often have dominance over bugs. Things like pixies riding beetles or spider riders and the like.
>Everybody in this thread ignoring the top bug
This guy has been a top tier since it was made, he is the true bug king
>>27166380
There you go folks, bugs are as shit in fantasy as in real life.
>>27166380
At least make bug be neutral on ghost or something.
I believe bug is now the worst type offensively, and ghost got a huge buff with the loss of steel resist. Now all ghosts have to do is avoid dark types
>>27166412
Try again.
>>27166487
It's ugly as sin.
>>27166484
Ghosts also have to avoid other Ghosts, now, though. It feels eerily similar to the Dragon situation in gen 5.
>>27166505
>not liking MechaKabutops
>>27166528
The concept being cool doesn't make it any less ugly.
>>27166412
Scizor was near shitmon territory until Platinum gave it Bullet Punch though
>>27166580
I don't think so, I know it isnt the best source, but smogon stablishes it as OU since it was made in gen II
>>27166114
No, you silly billy.
Fairies are usually depicted with a dominant relationship over insects - as a parallel to humanity having livestock and pets.
Like, they're universally shown this way. Have you not every watched or read anything? It's weird that you'd not know this.
Pic related, it's fairy lads using beetles as mounts in another Japanese property aimed mostly towards a young, Japanese audience.
>>27166335
God tier bug anon, let's be friends
>>27166227
How many fairy pokemon are tinker bell size tho? There's zero reason bug should resist fairy other than it being a random whim of gamefreak.
