Bug is a type in the Pokémon series.

Properties[]

Bug-type Pokémon are characterized by their fast-growing, as they don't take long to evolve. Bug-type Pokémon live mostly (not all of them) in forests, some of them are a little harder to find because they live atop the trees.

The majority of the Pokémon with this type are based on real-life invertebrates (spiders, scorpions, butterflies, moths, etc.).

From Fifth Pokémon generation on, it is known that Bug-type Pokémon are preferred by artists, mostly because they have beautiful colors and have a stoic and cheerful character. It can be said that Bug-type Pokémon represent the beauty of nature. Many of their evolutionary lines are similar to the life cycles of insects like that of beetles and butterflies; i.e. the first stage like larvae, second like pupae, then its final evolution into its mature, adult form.

On average, Bug Pokémon have the lowest base HP, Special Attack and base stat total of all types.
