Grubbin
The Larva Pokémon
Type: Bug
Official Registration #: 736
Entry: This small, larva-like pokémon lives underground in tropical regions, particularly wherever electric-type pokémon are found. It spends most of its life burrowing beneath the surface of the earth, coming close to emerging only when it feeds. During its feeding times, it will dig upwards until its long, strong pincers emerge from the earth to clamp down around a root so that its mouthparts can bite down and drink the sap from its target. Unfortunately, grubbin often have some level of difficulty telling the difference between a young tree and a being of equal weight and stature (specifically, humans), so trainers may wish to be cautious when traveling through known grubbin fields.

Charjabug
The Battery Pokémon
Type: Bug/Electric
Official Registration #: 737
Entry: The evolved form of grubbin, by battle experience. Like many pupa pokémon, charjabug is a largely immobile pokémon. It spends most of its time buried just beneath the surface of the earth in very close proximity to trees, which it will continue to feed on throughout the duration of this stage. The sap and detritus it consumes is then converted into electricity, which it stores as it prepares to evolve into its final form. Because it spends much of its time preparing for this evolution, charjabug is fairly easy to find and dig up. Once dug up, it’s an extremely handy to keep on hand, as one only has to give it one end of a USB cable to charge their pokégears and other devices. Of course, this is also an excellent way to lose a USB cable, as charjabug don’t always understand the difference between a wire and food, but at least by that point, your gear should be fully charged. Besides, what sort of unfortunate soul travels without backup cables these days?

Vikavolt
The Stag Beetle Pokémon
Type: Bug/Electric
Official Registration #: 738
Entry: The evolved form of charjabug, by battle experience when in an area rich with magnetic minerals. Like its cousin and natural rival pinsir, vikavolt possesses a pair of huge jaws, which it relies upon for its highly potent attacks. However, unlike pinsir, these jaws are primarily used to channel electricity into strong blasts, and as such, electricity is often seen arcing between these jaws, especially shortly before it attacks. Needless to say, either way, just like with its fellow beetle pokémon, it is a highly ill-advised idea to stick one’s hand between these jaws, even if it’s for science and the sake of measuring the exact voltage a vikavolt puts out. Just assume that the voltage is a relatively high number (because it certainly feels like such).
