By making less things resist Bug or making Bug resist more things.

Also, Leavanny is good

by making them faster, duh
speedy glass cannon is the way to go

An Ability that gives STAB for any one of Water, Electric, Rock, Ghost, Dark, Flying, Psychic, Dragon, in order of effectiveness.

Stats that favour hitting hard and fast.

All the good moves Grass, Bug, and the chosen third type gets.

There. Done.

Give it a cool design to boot and watch the claims of Bro roll in.

Make both types resistant/immune to fairy and SE against them. It's not much but it's something
>>
>>31174745
change their types to something useful
>>
Thick Fat could help by turning their 4x fire weakness into a 2x weakness
>>
>>31174745
Pretty sure Parasect benefits from the Leech Life buff, but give it Leech Seed and more HP.

In fact, give Leavanny Leech Seed too so I can use it on Eviolite Swadloon
>>
>>31178118
What buff
>>
Alolan Parasect - Bug/Ghost

Hex, Spider Web, Toxic Spikes, Shadow Sneak, Nightmare. Retains Spore.
>>
>>31174745
Make them genuine glass cannons, like how the ideal Ice Type should be

Fast and and should hit hard, when I heard that Leavanny got a buff I was hoping for a speed boost. Little disappointing how Gamefreak just adds more points in a lacking defense and calls it a day whenever they buff something
>>
>>31178259
Leech Life got bumped from 20 BP to 80 BP in Sun/Moon (and zubat et all no longer get it super early), making it a prime STAB choice.
>>
Bug is SE and resists fairy
>>
>>31177087
leavanny has good speed

the other two can utilize >trick room
alternatively parasect has spore

>parasect is the only pokemon that can reliably take out MewTwo

>>31175220
They'd faint before you could use it.

Buff their stats and give them better abilities and coverage moves

A Pokemon of any type can be good if it has the right movepool, ability, and stats.

Fairies should no longer resist bug. That would buff the bugs, while nerfing the fairies but not to the point of the latter being unusable.
Ghost shouldn't resist bug, too, but I'm not sure if it wouldn't make this type too weak.
>>
>>31178802
Nobody's saying that though. Parasect, Leavanny, and Wormadam are shit because they have no redeeming qualities, only Parasect has a minor Ubers niche.

Bug is the weaklink in a Grass/Bug typing. Grass by itself is not great, but it's not really all that bad either. Just adding a Grass typing isn't like adding an Ice typing to a mon. Neither is Bug, really, but it's got more negatives than positives, purely considering types. Nothing in particular about it is really bad, like Ice's complete lack of defensive potential, but it's got several little things that add up to make it subpar for little reason.

Buffing Bug somehow would see more dividends immediately for Grass/Bug mons than buffing grass, except for buffing grass in a very specific way as to cover Bug's weaknesses.
>>
New move called Sun Screen that weaken's fire's power

new ability called Cryogenesis that makes Ice heal
new ability called Methanogenesis that makes poison and bad poison heal

if you combine leech seed and ingrain, the opponent also gets rooted to the ground
>>
>>31180829
New move called Bramble that acts as a grass type entry hazard, overrwriting stealth rock

It debuts with another entry hazard called Dropstones that's an overriting ice type stealth rock.
>>
>>31180464
I dunno, the fact that Bug has an advantage against Dark and Psychic types, two of the strong, late-game types, balances out its weaknesses. There are lots of games where the strongest of a kind is vulnerable to the otherwise weakest of a kind, which Bug fulfills.
>>
>>31175379
It's only called that because it sounds like birds, dummy.

It's still bolts of fucking electricity
>>
>>31180273
It's the only ground type or steel type with quiver dance.
>>
>>31174745

Parasect just needs better stats

Giving him dry skin makes him a powerful Rain Counter or supporter for Counters in your rain

He's already weak to fire

Giving him more speed and attacker would easily boost him
>>
Grass needs their own weather/terrain that gives them the benefits of sun and more without supporting their weakness too

What are the best trick room setters in doubles at the moment? I've seen a lot of people using Oranguru+Torkoal, but are there any other setters worth using? I've been using Aromatisse, which is pretty good as you can run leftovers/berry without being weak to taunt.
