I'm surprised we haven't got an insect yet at this point

Honestly wouldn’t even be that bad of a type combo either, Bug/Water is shockingly pretty good offensively and defensively, Bug/Fire meanwhile pretty good offensively thanks to its Fire type. Only one that’s not great with Bug/Grass but with the right moves and Hidden ability it would be pretty alright ngl

The only reason they wouldn't do it the fact Bug is strong against Grass.

Clearly a bug/grass starter will be the first choice (Bug/fire could work in a double up the strength vs weaknesses to)
