Bug-type Pokemon fan club

much better this post contributes
and a bug/dragon would be cool
and by syclant and aurumoth becoming real, i didn't mean literally but pokemon with the same concept as them
syclant in a bug/ice pokemon given the stats and moves to take down dragons
set i use for syclant on PS:
Ability: Mountaineer (avoids all rock-type attacks and entry hazards on entrance)
Item: Focus Sash
Moves:
-tail glow
-ice beam
-bug buzz
-earth power

Ice beam will take out just about any dragon and earth power will kill dialga
bug buzz can be used against hydreigon, latias, and latios
if you start with syclant, you should be able to get in one tail glow because of his focus sash
he is already fast enough to not have to worry too much about being outsped
if you are lucky you can get in two tail glows

First of all, what is tail glow? And what is PS? And what did you do to get syclant? Because it's not a real Pokemon and I think I might use it if it's real, but has anyone else noticed that yeveltel looks like a bug, with it's face and the way it flies is more like a bird, but it kinda looks like a bug.

meh i don't think Yveltal looks like a bug
when animals have blue eyes, it usually means that the animal is blind
PS is Pokemon Showdown it is an online battling website
Syclant isn't real hence me asking if people want him and aurumoth to be real
syclant is a cap pokemon that is bug/ice created by smogon same goes for aurumoth
the concept with syclant, is that his main purpose is to counter dragons
tail glow is the best bug move IMO besides quiver dance
unfortunately only 1 bug pokemon can learn it
tail glow raises your sp attk by three stages (the max is 6 stages so it's a very amazing boosting move)

Favorite thing about Bug-types? They always seem to be the most original pokemon out there, their shiny versions are always the coolest. Also I despite of popular belief, they can make great competitive options in the hands of the right trainers!

[Bigbopper055]

Bug is one of my favorite types, because of its uniqueness. I remember one time when i was younger playing through the gold/silver series and found a yanma. That game made me love bug because of the bug catching contest, and yanma he's a BOSS.

Welcome to the new guys, Bigbopper I don't know if that's an application to join but if you could, could you please use the application on the first page??
Tomorrow nintendo will hopefully be announcing the Pikachu 3DS XL.
My question for you guys is this: What would be a bug 3DS be? Would you want it to be the face of a bug type? Or a body? I think i'd like the face of syther.

It's ok, I am glad you are back with us!)
About your question, Butterfree's face could be cool, and Heracriss's face as well.

i think if they put pinsir's face then that would signify him evolving (maybe? i can hope) XD
but seriously i really wish pinsir would evolve
heracross dominates him in the role of a moxie sweeper

I think Eviolite Pinsir will be much stronger.
They both have the same STATS, the only thing Pinsir needs is Megahorn.

exactly!
and because of that he is outclassed immediately
I love pinsir i just wish he was more useful as a moxie sweeper:/

EDIT: i made the club proud----> Aaron vs. Lance

You never no bro you might get your wish in gen6. I think its highly possible that pinser might gain an ability or upgrade in some shape or from
that allows it to evolve. Gen6 is gonna be packed with new abilities and items n stuff to compensate the overwhelming tiers of amazing concepts
already present in the game. The internal things in the game are the things that are gonna get updated in gen6, just watch lol.

I also think pinser has a nice face btw

Lol i like pinsir's face as well
been a while since you've been here man good to see you!
and yeah i am hoping my wish comes true Pinsir should evolve into bug/dark if he does evolve

[HetaOni]

Yayyyyy, Ariados is in the OP. :D
ALL HAIL THE POISONOUS SPIDER!

They look sooo similer to the aussie red back spider ay

lol yeah bro how cool is pinsir's face hehe, yeah i've had to sort some stuff out that wasn't quite connected to pokemon .
A bug/dark evolution of pinser would be quite fitting i recon, considering how sinister pinser's face looks ay hehe.( most people i no are scared of it..hehe)
I think one of the biggest things im looking forward to in gen6 is finding out weather they'll release yet another moth/butterfly pokemon.
Cause every gen theirs a new and distinctly different moth and or butterfly released. Now theirs still a few different options they
could go with as a template or body typing for the lepidoptera as well. But again even speculating this though makes me think that the lepidotera in question
is gonna have some wickedly twisted n awesome effect or ability.

i claim the vampire moth! I'm callin it!
and as for abilities, i hope they make an ability that's specific to bugs that allows them to drain health every time they deal physical damage
sure there's compound eyes but why not another :P
love abusing compoundeyes galvantula

You didn't use a trollin illumise! Hehe parafusion and attraction = perfect annoyance
I wanna try using a masquerain but I don't know how to use them very well. Any suggestions?

[Yveltal96]

well it was aaron vs lance
i used aaron's platinum team and The DragonKnight used lances FR team

lol well i must say i use that tactic on my illumise xD and it owns and is soooo killer when combined weith sunny day for your own volc support aswell as being able to disrupt weather teams.
Oooo masquerain.. THis pokes odd i think, sad to say i've never trained one lol.

BUt seeing everyone's bug war vid's make me think of mine ay, im gonnna start posting some vids on here myself ay lol

[Yveltal96]

Yeah it's fun proving people wrong ^_^
I beat a fire team using all bug/steel ninjask and heracross
And as for masquerin he can run a rain dance set with hydro pump and quiver dance pretty well

[Celestial Moth]

hehe truee ayy. But yeah bro soo much satisfaction in sweeping a decent ou team 6v0 with a bug team ay <3
Yeah you do run that ninjask well, i could never figure out its patterns of play.( if that makes any sence.)
I still use my "old" team but they own lol.

I never new masquerin could learn quiver dance??
Thats crazy i think bro cause with hydro pump you could even put a wide lens on it for accuracy and give it a nasty supporting set as a tank.

[Yveltal96]

yeah here's the offensive quiver dance set that smogon has

Ability: Intimidate
Item: Life Orb/Leftovers
Nature: Timid
Moves:
-Quiver Dance
-Bug Buzz
-Air Slash
-Hydro Pump/Roost
EVs: 4 Def/252 SpA/252 Spe

Hydro Pump should be used if you are using leftovers but if you are using Life Orb, you should teach him Roost
If you are putting him in rain i recommend you use rain boosted hydro pump and not very much resists water
