I have always liked bug pokemon, but i never use them in parties really because up until D/P i have just gone for straight power, stratagie at all. Anyway my question is, What's a really good Bug pokemon.

Also, anyone know if ;284; is good for anything as it's my favorite bug type.
 
Masquerain is really bad. Good bug types include heracross(the best one of them), forretress, scizor, ninjask, and megayanma. Heracross is an extremely good sweeper, forretress can lay down spikes and take physical hits, scizor and ninjask are good for BP'ing swords dance/agility, and megayanma is quite good as a bug type special sweeper.
 
Yes, Masquerain sucks, but if you must:

Masquerain @Adherance Glasses
Modest Nature
-Bug Upheavel
-Hydro Pump
-Air Slash
-Ice Beam/Shadow Ball

Heracross is seriously the best, no question:

Heracross @Choice Band/Adherance Scarf
Adamant Nature
Trait: Guts
-Megahorn
-In-Fight
-Stone Edge
-Blade Test

The list goes...

#1 Heracross

#4.......

#6.......
#7.......
#8 Ninjask
#9 Yanmega

You get the idea. Heracross is so superior he takes up slots 1-7.

Aragornbird's build is great. You could use Life Orb if you don't like the restrictions although i'd prefer the Toxic Orb since it will get you <x1.5> instead of <x1.3> from 'Guts'. You could consider *Facade with that build or you could go with a Reversaler build. Bottomline is he's in a whole different league than the other (Bug) types.

Yanmega is new and has possibilities because of that dope ability...

Yanmega w/Leftovers
'Speed Boost' : Speed increases 1 stage every round.
<Modest : +Sat / -Att>
* Bug Upheaval
* Air Slash
* Ancient Power
* Whirlwind / Feather Rest / Hypnosis / Protect

Choose a support move. Or you could rock Adherence Glasses and use *Shadow Ball / *Giga Drain in the last slot. <*Pulse Bomb / *Focus Bomb / *Land Power> would have really helped this guy out.
 
um actually masquerain is like the second worst bug type in the world...
 
No, Caterpie is. :D The rest can at least poison stuff; Caterpie has raw damage alone until level 10, and by then it's a Butterfree.

The worst Bug-type in the world is a wild Metapod. With nothing on it's move roster but Harden...
 
Pinsir.
This one is hurt by stealth rock, however he has more than enough to offer:
His ability is nifty
He has a nice movepool
His stats are pretty nicely allocated.
Pretty solid speed, combined with Donphanic attack and defense.
In fact, he has the same speed as Heracross.

Pinsir@Scarf
Scizor Cross
In Fight
Stone Edge
Earthquake

Scizor is good, too.
Armadildo is nice

Scizor Cross
Rock Blast
Earthquake
Le Filler
@Choice Band

Or just @Leftovers
Knock Off
Rock Blast
Scizor Cross
Stealth Rock
 
Despite the fact that Hera completely outclasses it with STAB In Fight 2HKOing Skarm, Pinsir's okay.

Pursuit is an awesome fourth move over Blade Test on CBHera to destroy Agun/Gar etc. Also puts serious pain into Dusknoir or whatever it is now if you can switch yourself into a burn. Then again, BT is probably better ingame.
