      I think U-Turn should get a massive decrease in distribution honestly. Only bug types should be learning it to give a reason to use them over Pokémon with a better typing and u turn anyways.
      It’s supposed to be a specific Dragonfly Maneuver which is mostly only performance by insects. In the anime, it’s shown the be the target using the force of their attack to propel off the enemy. I can vaguely get Pokémon like Lando learning it, and even some fighting archetypes, but why on earth does Maushold learn it?

    One of my favorite observations I've seen about pokemon is that "Bug is not a good type definitely or offensively, but you sure don't want to have a 4x weakness to it". After all basically every team runs u-turn. It's one of those types that reminds you pokemon isn't rock paper scissors, it's a complex web of metagame factors.

    Vivillon used to have access to a signature move called 'powder'. It was a status move that would trigger if the opponent used a fire-type move. Unfortunately, access to this move was taken from it, and it hasn't appeared on any other Pokémon. As a concept, it's pretty cool and I've never really seen it utilized. I'm sure it could've been interesting.
    Essentially, if the target afflicted with 'powder' used a fire-type move, instead of dealing damage it would blow up in the user's face, dealing damage. I can understand why they got rid of it, it was such a niche move and a signature for a completely underused mon, but still. Give my man Vivillon a W.

    I think Emergency Exit should be tweaked to allow Golisopod to attack the attacker with whatever move was selected as it switches. It allows both sides to play smartly around it- if the golisopod is at ~60% HP, the opponent can attack into golisopod with a pokemon that resists or otherwise eats the hit from golisopod. The user of golisopod can set up good switch ins with pivot mons like amoongus or incineroar while positioning golisopod in a way that makes the exit part of emergency exit still worthwhile, and golisopod isn't shafted by an ability that hurts more than it helps because it still gets to attack even if it's being forced out at an inopportune time.

    Bug types might not be the most powerful Pokémon competitively but since gen 5 and especially since gen 7 they have become one of the most fun types to use during a playthrough. Their diversity in second typing and design has made them a lot more interesting than in the first gens where there were few stand outs that were often crippled by very shallow move pools among other issues.

As of now, Ribombee is in Gen 9 OU. With all the powercreep. Doing better than singles staples like Garchomp. Probably these three instead of Butterfree, Shuckle and Accelgor for singles.

Due to Oricorio’s Dancer ability, it will copy Volcarona’s move on top of its own move. So you can get three moves in a turn and either hyper-offensive sweep, or set up protected dual Quiver dances

    Bug is one of my absolute favourite types because they tend to be the best answer to a lot of annoying dark types and have some amazing designs. I know competitive is the doubles format but it’s a shame that nothing of singles is mentioned because it’s where a lot more bug types really shine. heracross for example is one of the best bug types for power special defence unique typing to hit hard and give unique resistances and can be great in a lot of ways. Guts, swarm and moxie are all useful abilities, trailblaze recently helps heracross a lot for speed, you can make him bulky or be a speedy attacker with a choice scarf it just hasn’t had doubles success sadly but singles it really does well in a lot of games.
    Forretress is another big pokemon in singles for its bulk, great typing, useful switching move in volt switch, useful support moves and what I love the most is it has 3 entry hazard moves to choose from allowing for a lot of single useful utility and with sturdy is a fantastic entry hazard setter. Explosion in gens 2-4 also really helped it be a solid lead choice to get rid of a big threat immediately.
    Ninjask is my favourite bug type and a bug who can’t work well in doubles but is a monster in singles thanks to sword dance speed boost and final gambit, three superb aspects to make it hard to switch into. It can also use u turn to phase in and out. It can also use acrobatics now or dual wingbeat for some reliable flying stab it has been missing and it most importantly is the baton pass pokemon than completely broke baton pass in gens 3 and 4 and basically changed all of competitive gen 3 and 4 because of its powerful baton pass substitute sets able to pass speed boosts and sword dances over to threatening attackers or stored power pokemon in gen 5 or it could pass into bulkier pokemon and make them unkillable and speedy and powerful. It is a game changer and deserves some discussion in a singles competitive sense. Even now it has a lot better power than it used to with better moves and can always use its super high speed to pull surprises off. Absolute goat bug type.
    And the final ones to mention, yanmega/scolipede for speed boost big damage in singles.

    These are some of your most fun videos to watch. Love the more casual style to the script, feels more organic. And trying to guess what Pokemon you're going to put on the list is really fun. Please more of these, do every type! I'd be interested in Electric type next!

    I used Durant with the Ability swap attack and truant. This could pair with Diglett who has arena trap and can setup in the opponents truant turn and protect in between. Diglett is able to sweep afterwards...

    Volcarona evolution line was the only bug and fire type until Sword & Shield, when sizzlipede and cestiskorch arrived, and not Sun & Moon

    I loved this video, thank you for covering the best type. :) I agreed with the rankings, and even guessed a fair number of them before they were revealed. Also, whoever's doing the editing deserves a raise.
