that since bug is so shitty offensively now they could get away physical bug giga drain w/ 10pp

>>31162360
X-Scissor needs to be buffed now

Shit

>>31162779
There needs to be an ability like Iron Fist for slashing moves. Call it Hyper Cutter.

No one of worth gets it, so it's not like it makes a difference.
If more physical bug types got it, like Durant, Escavalier, Armaldo, Crustle, Leavanny, not to mention Beedrill, Pinsir, Heracross, Scolipede and Genesect, now that would be something of worth.

>>31162779
X-Scissor should get a higher chance to crit, like a more powerful Night Slash.

>>31163011
Succ blood

instead of buffing bug as a type, they've been buffing/making powerful and varied bug-type moves

leech life, lunge, quiver dance, struggle bug, pollen puff, rage powder, first impression, tail glow, u-turn, sticky web, fell stinger, infestation

this is a pretty utility-packed set of moves

:3

>>31163059
Ariados is shit because it's slow.
I have no idea what the hateboner is in Game Freak for them to think spiders are slow.

>>31163059
Sadly they'll need to give a solid stat boost and/or ability to it.

>>31163046
Just like in real life. All kinds of unique adaptations, but easy to kill.

Make X-Scissor a Bug Brick Break, as its basically "cutting" into shit

>>31162360
Well now bug types have a reliable way of recovery, as well as a few odd ones like Crobat and Incineroar.

>>31163595
>""""""reliable"""""""

>>31162779
Literally no reason to even run xcissor over leech life now unless xscissor gets a significant buff. 80 damage with 50% healed? Its going to need more than a higher crit chance to even compete

>>31163680
It doesn't needs to compete because the avaliability is different.

It's like saying that Drill Run needs to be buffed because High Horsepower exists. NO. Drill Run is learned by a wide range of pokemon while High Horsepower is exclusive to a few, it doesn't needs to be buffed.

>>31163595
Bug is a shit defensive and offensive typing though so it's still not useful

>>31163714
Every Pokemon that can learn leech life can learn xcissor so please tell me why if you have a Pokemon that can learn both you'd pick xcissor

Because not everything that learns X Scissor can learn Leech Life, genius. So it's not like those slots are "facing competition" - it's either X Scissor or nothing.

They've been here the whole time. If GF wanted to buff the move for a Pokemon with mandibles, much less teeth, they would have already done so.

But no, they do it for a generation that has new mosquito Pokemon.

You could actually switch out in Gen I though.

I guess you could stop setup mons with it.

Make it have a 20% chance of decreasing the target's defense.

cause game freak loves fairies since they cant get a real girl so they have to make do with fairy pokemon

Powering up Bug's a little. More bulky bug sets now.
Not only that but now bulky mons in general have another option with LL

>>31164635
Only relevant pokes are Buzzwole and Mimikyu and even then Mimikyu usually takes a different move instead

>>31164747
