>Bug Catcher Pokemon >Weak to Bug

>>27280674
This is why I think that each pokemon should have its own individual strengths and weaknesses. The only problem is that it would be a nightmare to code each one, and that it would be a fresh hell to remember them all.

>>27280880
just give carnivine an ability that makes it immune to bug or something
or make it so all attacks are superefective if the target is bug type

>>27280880
or just having a realted ability

>>27280674
There are normal bugs in the Pokemon universe as well, you know.

>bug POKEMON
They'd just call them fuckin bugs otherwise. So, normal bugs exist as well. The end.

Literally animals exist in the Pokemon universe. jeez.

>>27281091
what are pokemon then, if not animals?

>>27281131
what are humans then, if not animals?

>Mega Carnivine
>Grass/Dark
>Ability: Flytrap - Absorbs damage from Bug-type attacks

>>27280674
Right, it's weak to bug so it lures them in so you can catch them.

>>27281145
Humans are animals

>>27281131
Monsters.

>>27281214
that mega is shit. ferrothorn has higher stats in every category except for attack, and it can use a hold item. except for a decent attack stat (which is outclassed by many other physically oriented megas), there's no reason to use this thing.

>slapping steel type on it in a last ditch effort to make it okay, even though it makes no sense for the pokemon

you probably saved this image because you made the post am i right

>>27281193
So are Pokemon. So are bugs. What the fuck is your point.

>bug-typed pokemon
Why not just say"bug" then if bugs don't exist anyways?
>you also dont say water when referring to water pokemon
Which, also, does not matter as "bugs" clearly exist in this universe.

Fucking elephants exist.

I saved it because it seemed neat, calm your tits. I don't know why they went with Steel-typing though. Maybe to make its head like a bear trap or something?

Monsters.

The description of the bugs that Venomoth eats matches with real-life moths.

Venomoth is a moth-like monster that eats regular moths.

>it's immune to bug attacks and gives a buff

i think it'd be pretty funny if it's evolution/mega was bug/grass, and it preyed on other bug or grass pokemon, including other members of the same species

i like the idea of giving it Strong Jaw, to compliment Bug Bite obviously, as well as coverage moves like Crunch, Poison Fang, or Thunder Fang

>>27280674
Grass type Crunch that super effective on Bug would be cool.

>So are Pokemon.
Not necessarily, some Pokemon are clearly plants.
