Overview

Grubbin have strong mandibles that they use for almost everything. They use them to burrow underground, for instance, where they spend the majority of their time. Grubbin also use their jaws to scrape away at the bark of trees and feed on exposed sap. In order to stay safe from avian Pokémon, Grubbin often make their homes near or in the habitats of Electric-type Pokémon, as Flying-types are weak to them and usually avoid places where they congregate. They will use their mandibles to dig their nests into the soil. They also love electrical energy and will feed from power plants from time to time despite not being Electric-types themselves. It is believed that Grubbin gradually store this electricity within themselves as they prepare for evolution into Charjabug. Though very slow on the ground, Grubbin can escape from peril by shooting sticky threads to attach themselves to branches or wires and then swing away like tiny acrobats. Once they are safely away from danger, they can simply cut the strands with their sharp mandibles to free themselves. They can also bind attackers with these threads to slow them down and buy time to flee. Smaller avian Pokémon like Rookidee are often wary of tangling with Grubbin because of their powerful mandibles.
