Scizor and Mega Scizor
Awesome Pokémon. Only one weakness in Fire, and lots of resistances. Access to Swords Dance and a Technician-Boosted-STAB-Boosted Bullet Punch is very helpful. Simply a very powerful Pokémon.

I think Forretress is better than Araquanid and Buzzwole. Bug teams want stealth rock and rapid spin, so they benefit from a Pokemon that can use both.
Since you're going to be using Mega Pinsir, Scizorite shouldn't be an option. Another comment on Scizor is that X-Scissor is outclassed by Bug Bite due to Technician making it stronger and it having higher PP. However, Bug Bite shouldn't be used anyway, since the best set right now is probably bulky Swords Dance, with Roost replacing X-Scissor / Bug Bite. On Mega Pinsir, you should be using Close Combat over X-Scissor for its additional coverage, as without it you are walled by Steel types.
I never said they were to be used on the same team, the asker just asked for good bug types. @sumwun I answered for all the Pokémon that are S and A ranked in the tier.
