Summary

Blipbug is a Bug-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

Type: Bug

Abilities:

  • Swarm: Powers up Bug-type moves when the Pokémon's HP is low.
  • Compound Eyes (Hidden Ability): Boosts the Pokémon's accuracy.

Physical Characteristics:

  • Blipbug is a small, larva-like Pokémon with a predominantly blue body.
  • It has a large head compared to its body, with two prominent black eyes.
  • The top of its head is shaped like a brown beret or cap, which is adorned with a stripe pattern.
  • It has small, yellow antennae and a yellow ring around its neck.
  • Its body tapers down to a point without visible limbs.

Behavior and Habitat:

  • Blipbug is known for being highly intelligent and curious, often seen studying its surroundings.
  • It primarily inhabits forests and grasslands, where it can frequently be found searching for food.
  • This Pokémon is particularly interested in observing other Pokémon and humans.
  • It tends to be more focused on observation rather than engaging in battles.

In Battle:

  • Blipbug is not known for its battle prowess, given its initial form's low stats.
  • It relies on moves like Struggle Bug to defend itself and lower its opponents' Special Attack.
  • As a Bug-type, it is strong against Grass, Psychic, and Dark types but weak against Fire, Flying, and Rock types.
  • Its evolution line becomes more formidable, especially after evolving into Orbeetle.

Evolution:

  • Blipbug evolves into Dottler starting at level 10.
  • Dottler then evolves into Orbeetle starting at level 30, which gains the additional Psychic type.

Interesting Facts:

  • Blipbug's design and behavior are inspired by a combination of larva and nerdy, intellectual themes.
  • Its large eyes and head suggest a focus on observation and learning, akin to a student or scholar.
  • In the Pokémon Sword and Shield games, Blipbug is one of the early-route Pokémon, similar to Caterpie and Weedle in earlier generations.
  • Despite its initial frailness, its final evolution, Orbeetle, is known for its psychic abilities and strategic prowess in battles.
