Bug-type

The Bug-type is one of the eighteen Pokemon types.

Bug-type Pokemon are characterized by being fast growing as they do not take long to evolve. Bug-type Pokemon live mostly in forests, although some of them are harder to find because they live atop the trees.

From Generation V on, it is known that bug-type Pokemon are preferred by artists, mostly because they have beautiful colors and have a stoic and cheerful character. It can be said that bug-type Pokemon represent the beauty of nature. Many of the bug-type Pokemon evolutions are similar to the life cycles of insects like that of beetles and butterflies.

Effectiveness

 * They're strong against the Psychic-type because they represent a common fear of affecting the psychology of the mind. Further, members of this type often do not have the mental capacity to be susceptible to mental manipulation.
 * They're strong against the Grass-type because members of this type commonly consume plants.
 * They're strong against the Dark-type because members of this type are well adapted to operating in darkness and do not have a fear of the dark.
 * They're weak against the Flying-type because many members of this type are ground dwellers and are vulnerable to attacks from above.
 * They're weak against the Fire-type because fire consumes the exoskeletons endemic to members of this type rather easily.
 * They're weak against the Rock-type because the strength of their exoskeletons rarely can endure the weight or impact of rock or stone.
 * They're resistant against the Ground-type because many bugs, like worms, live inside the ground.
 * The Ghost-type is resistant to them because members of this type cannot easily transcend the spiritual barrier members of the Ghost-type hide behind in order to attack them.
 * The Fighting-type is resistant to them because the strength of their exoskeletons rarely can endure the weight or impact of physical blows.
 * The Fairy-type is resistant to them because many fairies live along bugs.
 * The Poison-type is resistant to them because members of the Poison-type have developed natural resistances to poisons, rendering many poison-based bug attacks ineffective.
