Being strong against [email protected], Espeon, Slowbro, Starmie, Alakazam, Celebi, Tyranitar, Hoopa, Weavile, and Mega Gyarados is pretty nice. I'm not saying it's one of the best offensive types, but I wouldn't say it's among the worst.Psychic and Dark are not exactly great strengths to have. If it had something like a strength against Dragon, Fighting, Rock, Ground, or Water, I'd understand, but it doesn't.
Interestingly, Grass has three of those strengths and is arguably worse than Bug, although that is more of a problem of terrible movesets.
I think Grass is a much worse type right now because it's weak to Ice in addition to Fire and Flying and doesn't have many common types that are weak to it that aren't easily covered by other types. They cover things like Swampert and Gastrodon pretty well, but I've found Bug types are just generally more efficient as sweepers.
