Summary

Grubbin is a Bug-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

Type: Bug

Abilities:

Swarm: Powers up Bug-type moves when the Pokémon's HP is low.
Hidden Ability - Overcoat: Protects the Pokémon from weather effects and powder moves.

Physical Characteristics:

Grubbin is a small, larva-like Pokémon.
It has a white, segmented body with orange-tinted tips.
Its head is round with a large pair of orange mandibles.
It has tiny black eyes and a smooth, shiny surface that gives it an insect-like appearance.

Behavior and Habitat:

Grubbin can primarily be found in forests or near power lines.
It prefers to live in areas with dense foliage where it can easily hide and feed on tree sap.
Known for its strong jaw, Grubbin uses its mandibles to burrow underground or into trees.

In Battle:

Grubbin is known for its physical attacks rather than speed.
It can use moves like Bug Bite and Mud-Slap effectively.
As a Bug-type, it is strong against Grass, Psychic, and Dark types but weak against Fire, Flying, and Rock types.

Evolution:

Grubbin evolves into Charjabug at level 20.
Charjabug further evolves into Vikavolt when leveled up near a special magnetic field.

Interesting Facts:

Grubbin's design seems to be inspired by a larval stage, possibly resembling a real-world grub or cicada larva.
It uses electricity to communicate with its evolution, Vikavolt, which shares a symbiotic relationship with Charjabug.
Grubbin's ability to burrow makes it adept at escaping predators in its natural habitat.

These features make Grubbin a unique and intriguing Pokémon, with a straightforward evolutionary line leading to two distinctive forms that showcase its connection to electricity and the environment.

Flavor Text Entries

Sun: Its strong jaw enables it to scrape trees and slurp out the sap. It normally lives underground.
Moon: They often gather near places frequented by electric Pokémon in order to avoid being attacked by bird Pokémon.
Ultra-Sun: If you find its nest, you shouldn’t stick your hand inside. You’ll get bitten by an irritated Grubbin.
Ultra-Moon: It spits a sticky thread to stop opponents in their tracks, and then it grabs them in its sharp, sturdy mandibles to take them down.
Sword: Its natural enemies, like Rookidee, may flee rather than risk getting caught in its large mandibles that can snap thick tree branches.
Shield: It uses its big jaws to dig nests into the forest floor, and it loves to feed on sweet tree sap.
