I haven't played Gen 8 yet so I can't add that, but here are my favorites in terms of the shinies I like
  • Gen I: Definitely Venomoth, with its beautiful blue coloration
  • Gen II: Shuckle. It had a role for an episode in the anime, and it has a nice blue coloration
  • Gen III: Dustox. Anime role, but it is in general a rather nice shade of brown that reminds me of real moths
  • Gen IV: Yanmega. I just happen to like it more than Skorupi, and the others aren't that special
  • Gen V: Has to go to Volcarona. Nowadays it has a glorious yellow like the sun itself
  • Gen VI: Scatterbug. There wasn't much to choose from
  • Gen VII: Vikavolt. There was a lot of good ones, but Vikavolt has a sleek metal coloration and it actually proves to be a good shiny in all three stages of its life
  • Gen VIII: Orbeetle. A clear difference, even if its an obvious color swap

Wasn't it one of the first Shinies to appear in the anime?

I used to despise bug type Pokémon since they used to be one of the weakest typings but now I have a lot of respect for them since the last few generations have introduced strong bug type Pokémon

Gen 1. Pinsir

Gen 2. Scizor

Gen 3. Dustox

Gen 4. Yanmega

Gen 5. Scolipede/Volcarona/Galvantula (lots of good ones this gen)

Gen 6. Vivillon. (Were there any others?)

Gen 7. Vikavolt

Gen 8. Frosmoth

Since I haven't played Sword and Shield I'm not including any Gen 8 bug, but I have my opinions on the first seven
  • Gen 1: It depends. Going only by what was introduced in Gen I, Scyther gets it. If we include Megas, Pinsir gets it. Tough decision.
  • Gen 2: Again, if we're including evolutions of previous generations I'd go with Scizor. Great typing and design, even if it's a bit difficult to get. Only including Gen 2 lines, its Heracross
  • Gen 3: Shedinja. I like its gimmick, it has a unique and spooky design, and I like to troll the NPCs with Wonder Guard/there's an adrenaline of the risk.
  • Gen 4: Vespiquen. Generic typing, but she pulls it off and has good signatures
  • Gen 5: This has a lot of good bug bois, I'm not sure who's my favorite. But if I have to pick, Volcarona is just too majestic. Galvantula is a close second
  • Gen 6: I literally have no choice
  • Gen 7: Vikavolt. I enjoyed this line as a whole, really

Was Vivillon the only bug type introduced in gen 6 I can’t remember any others
Yes, the Scatterbug line was the only new Bug line introduced. Actually, here's a list of generations that only introduced one family line of types.
