I'm going for Bug because I'd rather save Dragon for CAP 38 when we do our Dragon/Steel Levitate poke with signature moves of Aeroblast and Psycho Boost. But I guess an Elec/Dragon wouldn't be awful, as long as it doesn't get Static.

No shit. I just don't understand WHY people didn't vote for it.
Enter the Dragon baby.
DRAGON DRAGON, ROCK THE DRAGON!
Dragon sounds better, along with Electric it gives nice coverage aswell as little weaknesses, and there hasn't been any Dragon CAP.
Dragon is clearly better, seeing as it's not weak to Rock.
Bug. Dragon gets zilch for support moves, so it'd be automatically offensive... ish.
;_; for water dying...
Voted for bug, only for not being weak to Ice or Ground.

Bug would be totaly awesome. Has any one seen the electric bugs in Twilight Princess? A bug zapper pokemon seems hilarious. Bugs in general have pretty unique movepools i.e. Volbeat, Forretress, and Butterfree. I bet we could give the CAP enough moves to utilize the ability without being stupid. (Octillery)
I was deeply rooting for Bug, for the simple fact that such a type pairing does not exist in the Pokemon universe. For that matter, I imagine Dragon does not either. Because Dragon has taken a bouncing lead, I'll put my vote behind it because I don't currently think Bug can make that rebound.
Indeed, Dragon's complete lack of Thunder Wave, Toxic, Light Screen, Wish, Reflect, Safeguard, Featherdance, Haze, Perish Song, and Heal Bell(XD Move) (and even SR if you want to include Chompy) is disturbing.
Does no one study before they write?
There is also no Electric/Dragon. Plus, just because its unique does not make it automatic CAP material, Look at Stratagem, who shares its type with 5 other pokemon. Argo's type was Poliwrath's, and Nidoqueen and NidoKing share Figit.
My support is for Electric/Dragon. Its because the role's of Dragon is to me, much broader than bug. Most Dragon's have atleast some kind of Support role Flygon's ability to scout via U-turn and Salamence's "Fatmence" for just examples. Bug's SR weakness is not a good thing, and only some Bugs do not receive a decent Support movepool Forry, Shuckle, Ninjask, Ledian, Vespiquen, and to an extent Scizor.
Dragon. Dragon is needed to handle other dragons. Bug is nice, but I feel it's more complicated to give a Bug type moves.
I voted for Dragon, since its easier to finish CAP8, as there is more fun and less complications when thinking around a Bug's typing. (Dragon just seems much more straight forward)
