    Usually when I won, it was with a Scyther. I won a couple times with Butterfree and Pinser. I'm really not sure which one was the "best." I never really bothered training most of the bugs I caught. I do have a Scyther that is now a Scizor, so I guess it paid off more than the others.

    I didn't do the contest that much, but I guess the best thing I caught from it was a Scyther and a Venonat. I don't remember if I won or anything, but you only asked for the best. :P

    Also, you grew it to level 100? Sorry, the word choice just sounds weird. xD It's like saying you grew a Pokemon.

    If I recall correctly the first bug I caught was a Beedrill.
    I think it just collected dust in my PC after the contest was over though.

    I think it was a wicked cool Pinsir. Loved that thing:p Kept it with me for the rest of the game.

    on a recent run for a bug team, i caught a scyther and got third place. i raised the scyther, used it in my E4 assault, and then evolved it into scizor.

    the thing was a beast, it took out red's team on the first try--no other pokemon were called in to assist--at level 55. swords dance, agility, headbutt and steel wing, MAN was it unstoppable.

    i named it Zorro.

    It was either a Scyther, Beedrill or Pinsir. All of which became big parts of my party. Surprisingly, a Parasect became a big part of one of my teams because I taughit it some powerful special attacks and some powers to go along with it. It came to a shock to my friends when I beat them all with it via system link, those were the good ol' days.

    A male butterfree in my long deceased Silver game whom I can't remember what I named, darn it.
    He was my very first win, in Silver and in all of Jhoto; I trained him into his I think sixties.

    It was probably a Pinsir I caught once. It never amounted to anything though. I just let it sit in my pc box. :D

    My first was probably a Butterfree, since I was little at the time and the other Bug Pokemon scared me, frankly. Then I learned the awesomness of Scyther, and I almost always caught one to train.

    The thing was Scyther was always a much lower level then the other bug pokemon eg. You could catch a level 22 weedle but only a level 14 scyther :z
