Why are Water and Poison attacks not super effective against Bug types?

Aug. 15, 2020

We all know that water kills bugs easily, and many people use poison to get rid of bugs. So is there a reason why neither of them are super effective against Bug types?

In fact, Bug was weak to Poison in the first generation. However, in Generation 2, it lost that weakness. The reason speculated is becauseBug is already too weak, and more weaknesses would just make it worse.

Not everything in Pokemon is logical. Some is also done for balancing, like making Bug super effective against Dark. And Normal would probably be weak to everything if the type chart was accurate.

Bugs are only really affected by boiling water which only two moves are being scald and steam eruption. sure if you cover a bug in water it will drown but so will other things.Also I think the weakness to poison was removed because bugs are resistant to pesticides and because of balancing
