In this tier list, you will learn about the best Bug-type Pokemon in Legends Z-A that you should consider using on your team.
In Pokemon, Bug-types have historically been early-game Pokemon that fall off in the late game. However, with Legends Z-A focusing on Mega Evolutions, the lucky Bug-types who got them now have a chance to shine. So let’s see which Bug-types are worth using on your Pokemon Legends Z-A team.
Disclaimer: Only fully evolved Pokemon will be considered for this tier list. This is because the final stages are the ones you are most likely to use for a long time. As for those Pokemon that can Mega Evolve, those will be taken into consideration while ranking them.
All Bug-Type Pokemon in Legends Z-A Tier List
Here is the complete tier list for all Bug-type Pokemon in-game:
| Tier | Pokemon |
|---|---|
| S-Tier | Scizor and Heracross |
| A-Tier | Pinsir |
| B-Tier | Scolipede and Beedrill |
| C-Tier | Vivillon and Ariados |
S-Tier
These are the best Bug-type Pokemon in Legends Z-A which can make their way onto any team:
| Pokemon | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| Scizor | BST (Base Stat Total): 500. Thanks to an excellent secondary Steel-typing, Scizor is an amazing Pokemon. After Mega Evolution, it becomes even better, but it can do just as well without Mega Evolving. |
| Heracross | BST: 500. Heracross also does amazingly well after Mega Evolution. Even after losing its Ability Skill Link, it is capable of hitting very hard due to how multi-hit moves work in the game. |
A-Tier
These Pokemon have some flaws that hold them back, but can be made up for with some team support:
| Pokemon | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| Pinsir | BST: 500. Mega Pinsir is a decent physical attacker. However, it loses its Ability Aerilate, which turned its Normal-type moves into Flying-type ones and gave them a boost. |
B-Tier
These Pokemon are decent picks but have some flaws that need the team to be built around them:
| Pokemon | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| Scolipede | BST: 485. Mega Scolipede functions completely differently from its base form, losing a lot of Speed after Mega Evolving. Even with a boost to its bulk, this leaves it vulnerable. |
| Beedrill | BST: 395. Mega Beedrill becomes very fast and hits decently hard. However, even Mega Evolution did nothing to fix its fragility. |
C-Tier
These Pokemon are not worth keeping on your team after the early game:
| Pokemon | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| Vivillon | BST: 411. Only great for collecting purposes. It’s too weak to bring to a serious match. |
| Ariados | BST: 400. Also very frail and weak. Let Naveen be the only one who uses an Ariados on his team. |
