This team is so strong that it actually fails to represent most bug types.

I think a raid bug spray sponsor would be better than raid shadow legends 2:42

“Who would you use on a Bug-type team?” You pretty much hit the nail on the head with your picks, I have nothing to change…except Shedinja. It’s not a bad pick, but it’s a bit of a risk. I think what I would do instead is put Araquanid in its spot and make the lead something fast that can also set up a hazard, like Ribombee. A Ribombee with Pollen Puff (doubles) / Bug Buzz (singles), Alluring Voice (doubles) / Moonblast (singles), Sticky Web, and Protect with a Focus Sash and Shield Dust would make for an interesting lead, all things considered.

I'll never forget when GF decided to add a whole new freaking type to solve the Dark-Ghost zero weaknesses problem, rather than slightly improving the Bug type by simply making it neutral against Ghost, which for the life of me I can't understand (seriously, for what kind of lore reason should ghosts resist insects??)

I feel like Rock should be your next pick for a video, since along with Normal and Bug its most often a early gym in a region. I am surprised Scolipede didn't get an honorable mention at least, as Speed Boost into BP is insane.

You know, you could give a Bug type Gym Leader Flygon anyway. If Lance's "Not all dragons are Dragon type" logic applies to him, then it should apply to every type specialist. And Flygon may not be a Bug type, but it's undoubtedly a bug. I even considered it for my Monotype Bug Team in Pokémon Sapphire, but I'm content with the Pokémon I have now so I decided to not get one in the end.

I die with you on that hill of: "Flygon should've been a Bug-Type". I also die on the hill: "The type chart between Bug and Fairy should've been completely reversed". Love your series so far.👍

Araquanid, Scizor, Volcarona: 100% agree Heracross is also a definitely good choice, no complaints there For the other two options, here's what I would do: The team lacks speed outside of Sticky Web support, so I'd say Galvantula would be a good choice over Vikavolt. It also gets Sticky Web so you could even have it as a lead, set up webs, and either U-Turn OR Volt Switch out, and add in Compound Eyes Thunder for good measure (this is just a bit weaker than Vikavolt's Thunderbolt). All off of 108 speed, with Compound Eyes being another Bug-type exclusive. I've also run Araquanid as a sticky web pokemon before. With a good matchup and passive healing, it's a good sticky web user. But on a mono-bug team, it's your one and only answer to fire types and a good answer to rocks. I think it's best to leave that job to it, with it maybe being a backup Sticky Web user. Bug types in general are very fragile, meaning Shedinja is definitely a representative of that but maybe it does too good of a job of being a liability. I personally like your Shuckle set better. Either it or Araquanid would use Toxic as you don't need three Sticky Web users. My own honorary mention goes to Lokix and Yanmega, as half of the Tinted Lens users are Bug-type, and one of these Pokemon could go into the team over Heracross. Tinted Lens is also important to the team to cover all of the types that resist Bug that you mentioned.

Bug type lovers are prob the coolest group of ppl

My bug gym would just be the bugs from gen 5. All of them are awesome, and started the trend of bugs “consistently” being good.

As a diehard Butterfree supporter, having it in a thumbnail of a wolfey video and it getting even the tiniest spotlight has skyrocketed my will to use it as often as possible. Even if it's bad in most cases, it will always be my beloved.

YES BUG,THE BEST TYPE EVER MADE Edit: I love the team,this strategy is realy goog and funny, I would just change a pokemon, why my favorite pokemon is a bug and I can't fight without it on the team, CRUSTLE MY BABY

The only change I would make is swapping Vikavolt out for a Galvantula, since Galvantula would bring in a fast boi for the team, could also do Sticky Web if Araquanid gets taken out early, and can make use of its Coumpound Eyes ability which feels very bug-themed

Honestly a pretty stacked team, I like it! My only change would obviously be switching out Shedinja. Personally, I'd go with Scolipede. Serves the same roll as a Swords Dance bruiser; even gets Aqua Tail and Earthquake for coverage, and Steel Roller for a ridiculously strong Steel type move that removes Terrain!

The amount of puns you've put in this video in a natural way while still being informative and nice to listen to is legitimately impressive. I also love the choices you made! Not striving for the best mono-type-team one could build, but rather focusing on a theme and it being for a gym leader. And as a huge fan of both Volcarona (best bug) and Shedinja I highly approve of both of their inclusions. For the next type, I'd like to suggest either ghost or fire. Keep up the good work!

I would have loved to see Butterfree. With compound eyes sleep powder almost always hits and it also gets quiver dance. You could also run tailwind which would really help the slow bug type. Finally bug buzz for stab and giga drain for recovery and for those rock and ground types. There are a bunch of ways to run butterfree and it’s probably my favorite bug type

I think that Forretress was definitely overlooked here. With so many pivots using switch moves, being able to switch into a reliable wall is definitely appreciated. Forretress also has access to spikes, rapid spin, AND stealth rock, letting you get in the important entry hazards on one mon, and utilise it for other things than just dealing with hazards. With a rapid spinner, you could also deal with stealth rock, giving Volcarona support, and letting it choose life orb or a gem, instead of boots.

Hear me out… Shuckle with contrary, holding lum berry, Moves: rest, shell smash, toxic, infestation This plays into shuckle’s high def and you don’t have to worry about any other stats

"Name a Bug Ground type" Nincada. Took me two seconds. Bug is my favorite type, and I'm always playing Pokémon games with monotype Bug teams now. I'm currently doing this with Pokémon Sapphire, and well Ninjask was an obvious choice for my team.
