Who is the Best Bug?
 
If you had to have one, who would you choose?

J-Rad November 15th, 2007 6:32 PM

forry hera, and pinsir is pretty decent the only thing that sets it apart from hera is the unSTAB close-combat...

Ársa November 15th, 2007 6:33 PM

YANMEGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

And guts...and Megahorn...but I <3 pinsir.

Heracross is the most dominant, forry in second.

EDIT: Yanmega isn't on the list mullac, which is kind of...well, it shoudl be on there.

It depends on what you're looking for.

Heracross is probably one of the best bug sweepers you'll find. Ninjask and Scizor are baton Passers. Forretress is a wall. And there's a bunch more I've missed.

Cactus Twist November 15th, 2007 6:35 PM

Gotta love Pinsir, although I wish it learned Megahorn

Yeah, I probably should have put Yanmega, Shedinja, and Ninjask on there too.

Yanmega is the awesome late-game sweeper, same as for Heracross

the Bug I prefer to use is usually Yanmega anyways, it eliminates other bugs =O

Alakazam17 November 15th, 2007 6:55 PM

Either Heracross or Yanmega. I cannot decide which one, though. ^_^

Say Yanmega, that darn Ogre is the reason you won that battle =( lol

flamehaze94 November 15th, 2007 7:10 PM

I voted on Forretress. =)

sims796 November 15th, 2007 7:12 PM

As do I. A wall with both Spikes AND Rapid Spin.

My Heracross has won just as many battles. =P

Gulpin November 15th, 2007 7:26 PM

I'd have to say Herracross, one of the best little Bug's in my oppinion.

Syaoran November 15th, 2007 9:08 PM

Yanmega. Having its speed boosted every turn, Hypnosis, high Sp.Atk, and not too shabby defence is quite an awesome thing.

Eos Aduro November 15th, 2007 9:18 PM

Pinsir is cool, and has an AWESOME shiny

Arsibiyez November 16th, 2007 1:50 AM

IT'S VOLBEAT!! TAIL GLOW + SIGNAL BEAM + STAB = TOTAL PWNAGE!!!
... That's a joke, obviously. I'm biased.

Forretress, Heracross, Ninjask, Yanmega, Scizor are great in OU.

Pinsir and Shedinja are awesome in UU.

Butterfree, Beedrill, Beautifly, Dustox, and Volbeat are nice in NU.

I do hope I tiered those right, though. :|

LethalTexture November 16th, 2007 8:13 AM

I find that Mothim gets overlooked. It might have good potential. Here's one I'm training.

Mothim @ Choice Scarf
Modest Nature
EVs: 252 Sp. Atk / 252 Speed / 6 HP

Bug Buzz
Energy Ball
Shadow Ball
Air Slash

sims796 November 16th, 2007 8:15 AM

You remind me, Vespiqueen is pretty hot.

luke November 16th, 2007 8:32 AM

Vespiquen, Yanmega, and Beedrill are my favorites. Yanmega is one of the better Special Sweepers, especially with HP [Ground] to surprise Magnezone. Vespiquen is a good UU wall, and Beedrill is just Beedrill.

El Gofre November 16th, 2007 8:46 AM

I dont use bugs but scizor is my fave so i vote for him :)

Dunsparce November 16th, 2007 8:52 AM

WHY did you but Armaldo, Vespiquen, and Scyther on there? They just don't stand up to the others.

IMO, you should've put Forretress, Yanmega, and *chuckle* Ninjask instead.

Alakazam17 November 16th, 2007 9:03 AM

Shuckle is also worth mentioning. With awesome prediction, Power Tricking can be quite a shock to the opponent's pride. XD

Dark Azelf November 16th, 2007 9:15 AM

Obviously Heracross and Yanmega.

Yanmega just pwns and Heracross can 2hko Skarmory with a choice band Close Combat.

rockman X November 16th, 2007 9:18 AM

Heracross is the best bug ever
its one of my favourite pokemon
