>>1 is decent, but has a crippling 4x weakness
That crippling weakness is the only thing keeping in it OU and not Ubers
Is wish the first Bug/Fairy type was a lunar moth as strong as Volcarona
>>33190827
So which bug would you fug?
>>33191270
>Bug/Fairy
>not Bug/Ice
I personally want fast physical Bug/Flying hawkmoth. I imagine its main moves would be Leech Life and Aerial Ace, not sure about abilities.
>>33191311
It would be nice if there was a weaker hummingbird mon mimicking the hawk moth mon.

>hummingbird hawkmoth
my African American acquaintance
Also, hawkmoths ARE one of the fastest flying insects, so it would make a bunch of sense for it to be super fast
Moths!
I fucking love moths..
I just wish the moth mons were more usueable..
I don't really know much about volcarona either..
Moths!
Moths!

Game freak already did this, by creating the move Quiver Dance and giving it to them. (jp:butterfly dance)
They could change Shield Dust to make it better I guess. (jp: Moth Scales) But I'm happy with where they're at.
Something like this:
"Lunar moth"
Bug/Fairy
Shield Dust
HA: Wonder Skin
75 / 55 / 60 / 125 / 145 / 90 / 550
Volcarona counterpart
Learns Moonblast, Bug Buzz, Cosmic Power, Moonlight
"Hawk moth"
Bug/Flying
Keen Eye/Honey Gather
HA: Speed Boost
65 / 105 / 55 / 65 / 60 / 120 / 470
Early-game bug
Learns Leech Life, Aerial Ace, Fell Stinger, perhaps Brave Bird (if we play with "hawk" part of the name").
Venomoth is awesome, if even just for baton pass
Don't underestimate it, especially if you claim to like moths
>>33192229
Also Venomoth is cute, CUTE
>>33192312
Yes it's my personal favourite moth mon, cute and stylish
I once knew a girl online who really liked moth pokemon and I hope she doing well
Moth and mother!
I always wanted a really high BST Bug/Flying based on the Atlas moth. I was thinking something like 85/60/90/105/110/100 or something.
>>33192390
And the mothest!
>>33192401
You like moths, right /vp/? Right?
These look like they could be Pokémon
>>33190827
Volcarona barely gives a shit about its weakness. Z-moves broke the fuck out of it. Venemoth isn't half-bad in the lower tiers either.
>>33191270
>>33192217
I'd love this.
>>33191848
Delete this spawn of the devil immediately.
>>33192229
Venomoth is easily the best Quiver Dancer after Volcarona thanks to Tinted Lens + Sleep Powder
It even saw some use in World Cup I think
If it had a sligth buff in SpAtk and Spe, and Spore as a more reliable way of sleeping enemies, it would be much better in OU
>>33192406
Post gen 3's "pokemon" sure
>>33190827
stealth rock isn't crippling
volcarona is very good since priority isnt used as much
and Venomoth is alright
other ones are just early mon bugs so they wont be good without a mega or somthing
