Title: A bit of a rant of bug types
Description: title says all
RacerMan008 - October 5, 2009 12:07 AM (GMT)
So I was just talking to one of my friends on Skype and we were talking about pokemon. all of a sudden he just starts banging on Bug types saying how badly they suck. Then i say they don't suck, I think Bug types rule. Then all of a sudden he calls me a wimp saying that i have no taste in pokemon, then i come back with at least i don't lose everytime when we battle. Then he goes on saying that I can't beat him with just an all bug type team. then i go yes i can, then he says prove it and blah blah blah blah blah. So the main point is that, I'm going to battle my friend with an all Bug Pokemon team and I was wondering which Bug pokemon should I use (Drapion is included)

I used to have an all bug-type team back in the good ol netbattle days. A new and improved team would go something like this:
Forretress
Spikes
Toxic Spikes
Stealth Rock
Explosion
Ninjask
Substitute
Swords Dance
Baton Pass
X-Scissor
Armaldo (your main BP target)
X-Scissor
Rock Blast
Aqua Tail (if you can do it by breeding)
Earthquake
Scyther @ Salac Berry (only because I love Scyther)
Swords Dance
Endure
Reversal
X-Scissor
Yanmega (make sure it has speed boost)
Air Slash
Bug Buzz
(your choice of 2 other moves. Make sure they're special attacks. Detect is also an option)
You can fill the last slot with either a good Scizor (as much as I hate it) or Heracross. Just be very protective of your Yanmega, since that's you're only special attacker.

scizor, must have in team, awesome power
Scizor-life orb
-Roost
-Sword Dance
-Bullet punch
-any physical move, maybe X-scissor
Ability: technician
basically, sword dance a few times, and bullet punch, just roost if necessary
Mi10tic_Fan - October 5, 2009 10:00 AM (GMT)
Scizor | Impish | Brightpowder | X-Scissor | Bullet Punch | Swords Dance | Baton Pass
This one rocks at the Battle Factory, so this might do ;)

tsk tsk beauty, didn't you read his post, he said he is going to show his friend how good bug pokemon are, so he is going to make a bug pokemon team
beauty - October 5, 2009 10:14 AM (GMT)
They weak, ya don't have to do that ..
I hate bugs pokemon ..
draphinix - October 5, 2009 10:35 AM (GMT)
FOOL, RacerMan008 teach her the power of bug pokemon
beauty - October 5, 2009 10:41 AM (GMT)
If he have PBR, i can teach him the power of ice type pokemon >:3
draphinix - October 5, 2009 10:46 AM (GMT)
yeah do that, he'll just pwn you with scizor+sword dance+bullet punch

As much as I don't want to admin, they're right, Scizor is really really good with that combination of moves. If you add that and have your team look like that, you'll win hands down unless your friend is a pro battler.
Nellie Lovett - October 5, 2009 06:51 PM (GMT)
Scyther, Scizor, and Yanmega are some good ones. Also, this should be in Battle Arena.
I'll give you sets later, I'm at school right now...
espeonbird - October 5, 2009 06:52 PM (GMT)
Moved and go for it, show 'em how Buggies can pwn :3
Nellie Lovett - October 5, 2009 07:01 PM (GMT)
Wel,l I acn give you one right off the top of my head for Yanmega...
Yanmega@Choice Scarf (YES, SCARF)
Trait: TINTED LENS
Nature: Modest
4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
-Air Slash
-AncientPower
-Bug Buzz
-Giga Drain
That's if you want to be unoriginal. Tinted Lens is really useful. If'n ya don't like that, you could do
Yanmega@Choice Specs
Trait: Speed Boost ;[
Nature: Modest/Timid
4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
-Air Slash
-Bug Buzz
- Giga Drain / U-Turn
-AncientPower / U-Turn
For this one, go with Timid if you want more Speed, Modest if you want more Attack. I would personally go with Timid, because although Yanmega has Speed Boost, its base Speed isn't all that great. U-Turn is a physical attack, I know, but it's mostly used to get out of nasty situations, or if you get roared out. It's also useful against things like Cresselia or even Celebi.

Bug has their potential, even there are OU bug types (even Aaron, I think that's his name, an E4 member uses them and he's hawd!)

Do ya have PBR?
Scyther - October 6, 2009 06:28 PM (GMT)
I do, yes, but I don't have a Scizor since I refuse to ever train one. I do have other teams though, but I can't remember if they scale your teams to level 100 or not on PBR.
beauty - October 6, 2009 07:38 PM (GMT)
They all Lv. 100 :3
When ya want to battle PM me when i be on ^^
RacerMan008 - October 6, 2009 09:31 PM (GMT)
uh, I totally missed a lot so, I'll take a few of your ideas, so we are going to battle on Friday, So we are just setting our teams up right now
Scyther - October 7, 2009 02:06 AM (GMT)
After much closer inspection, it appears as though I do NOT have PBR. I still have Pearl though, if you want to battle that way. I also have plenty of Shoddy teams.

Scyther - October 8, 2009 12:42 AM (GMT)
well Nellie, if you'd like I kinda want to test out my mono-bug team I just made with you on Shoddy. I usually only go on the Smogon server, but my name there is Scyther_KiR

If you're on right now I can battle. I'm Md427, Nellie Lovett and Shining Flygon. But I'll be there as Md427.
Edit: Sorry, Shoddy's freezing up on me. I can't battle right now. :(
Scyther - October 8, 2009 12:51 AM (GMT)
Nellie Lovett - October 8, 2009 12:53 AM (GMT)
K, Shoddy's working now so I'll challenge you.
Scyther - October 8, 2009 01:16 AM (GMT)
I'd say good battle even though it was one-sided, but at least I know the team CAN be effective. I'll battle you again sometime with my actual Shoddy team.
Nellie Lovett - October 8, 2009 10:57 AM (GMT)
Okey. ;)
That's why I love Tinted Scarf, it can effectively kill things with neutral damage. And it's super-haxxy. Which is how it got its name. =)
