Description
Wrigglure (Bug/Ground) - Wormy Pokémon
Abilities: Gooey / Hooked* / Steelworker (HA)
*Hooked - Contact with this Pokémon may prevent the opposing Pokémon from switching out.
Dex Entry: "It's an incredibly hardy Pokémon, able to survive being chopped in half and swallowed whole. This makes it the perfect live bait for fishers."
Stats: 35 / 80 / 60 / 25 / 70 / 80 (350)

Evolves into Nightbrawler when leveled up while holding a Fishing Hook

Nightbrawler (Psychic) - Live Bait Pokémon
Abilities: Gooey / Hooked / Steelworker (HA)
Dex Entry: "When Nightbrawler runs into its natural predators, fish Pokémon, it swings the hook lodged in its gooey body and fights back. It eats up to 10 pounds of soil a day."
Stats: 55 / 105 / 90 / 40 / 100 / 100 (490)

Based on earthworms being used as bait for fishing, as well as their general habits and hardiness. (They were created before Gen 9 revealed Orthworm, but you can never have too many worms, can you?) I guess worms aren't 'bugs' per se, but neither are spiders and look at all the spider Pokémon, plus I love the Bug/Ground combo.
