Talk:Bug (type)
Hay, wiat. What about the Effect Spore ability? Can't that poison the steel? Posted by the Θρtιmαtum♏Talk|Links10:39 25 May 2008
- If its not a posoin type move it should be able to poison steel pokemon--DCM((Shut the **** upSpy on My Edits))
- Steel type Pokémon can not be poisoned.
- Actually, Twineedle has been known to poison Steel-types, at least in Generation II (although the chances it was changed for later generations is highly unlikely...). Being a Bug-type move, it's the only known move that can inflict poison anywhere that isn't of the Poison-type (which Steel is immune to), hence it can poison a Steel-type. --Shiningpikablu252 18:11, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- The questions is if it still poisons, or if steel types are now immune. Also, Poison Point or something like that inflicts poison as an ability. I should make a multi-hit and Twineedle test team (when I get the time) to check some things that are uncertain. Gywall 18:40, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

"Generation V introduced Bug-type Pokémon with base stat totals over 500"
Yanmega's base stat total of 515 would like to disagree with that. Shiramu Kuromu 23:23, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Defense Column
Shuckle, Forretress, Crustle, Durant, Escavalier, Vespiqueen, Pinsir, Scizor, Armaldo. There are 9 Bug-type Pokémon with a defense stat of 100 or more, and Bug-type Pokémon have higher defense than special defense on average, yet the Bug-type "Defense" column consistently focuses on how low their defense stat is; in fact, their "low defense" is the only real reason given for Bugs to be defensively-flawed, which is preposterous. Well, it does talk about Bug/Flying-types' double weakness to rock, but that's only relevant to 19% of all Bug-types.
I'm honestly only an intermediate-level Pokémon player, so I'm not sure if I'm missing something here, but it seems as though the "Defense" portion of the Bug-type page is seriously outdated, to the point of blatantly irrelevant information. Someone with more experience/knowledge then me really needs to completely rewrite this column, and soon. Gridelin Glass 19:19, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
