I always thought the idea of bug being effective versus psychics was that all their buzzing and biting makes it hard to focus, which fucks up their mental powers. No idea about dark.

Bugs are neither good nor evil, with their hiveminds and whatnot, so they don't give a crap about the most Evil of types

With abilities like Water Absorb, is it better to have high or low HP? Volcanion is cool.

Psychic is weak to common fears. bugs, the dark, ghosts. Someday when there is a heights type pokemon itll be super effective against psychic. Explouds mega will be public speaking type. Waffleman_ posted:^^ Like said above, Bug>Dark is pretty much a reference to the Japanese superhero Kamen Rider, who in earlier incarnations was themed after different bugs. I actually punched a bird dead mid flight once. I was in a dark barn with a flash light, It swooped down at me and I instinctively swung my arm at it. RIP.

Explouds mega will be public speaking type. Did you hit it with the fist that held the flash light? Maybe you accidentally Thunder Punched it. Alternatively, what are the odds of you actually being a living golem (not the pokemon)?

Bongo Bill posted:Flight is only scary when it stops abruptly. Dreams of flying are good dreams. Now if there were some sort of "Falling" type.... As someone with a fear of heights, dreams in which I'm flying suck. Being up high in general, no matter how safe, sucks. The irrrational part of your brain does not accept the safety and keeps panicking instead.

oddium posted:"psychics are weak against fear" already doesn't make sense Of course it does, being unnerved breaks mental concentration which is what Psychic-types use for offense and defense. And insects, evil/darkness, and ghosts are common fears so those type matchups make perfect sense.
