Charjabug

() is a /-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII. It evolves from Grubbin and into Vikavolt.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Charjabug resembles a small Subway train/battery. Its body is colored green, it has blue square eyes, a rectangle gray mouth, and orange pincers.
===Behavior===
Since one is preparing to evolve, it usually looks motionless. Most of the time it buries its body for spending time underground.Charjabug are a bit more active than other intermediate insects, though this isn't saying much. Unlike Metapod or Cascoon, Charjabug are capable of consuming solid foods. They are opportunistic feeders that eat whatever plant matter they can find nearby, including decaying humus. Charjabug use what little food they eat to produce electrical energy using special organs in their abdomens; they can also siphon power from generators, and in fact seem to prefer this (as this method does not require movement). They then store this energy inside electric sacs within their bodies, which they can utilize to defend themselves from foes by discharging electricity from the tips of their jaws. Their sturdy shells also help keep them protected from predators. Their evolutions Vikavolt will hold and draw electricity from them to defend themselves.
===Natural abilities===
Charjabug can lend their stored electricity to allies and appliances; one Charjabug can power a whole house for a day, making them popular partners when camping.
==Evolution==
Before Generation VIII, Charjabug evolves into Vikavolt when leveled up in a special magnetic field. In Alola's case, they are Vast Poni Canyon and, in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon only, Blush Mountain.
In Generation VIII, due to the lack of a magnetic area, Charjabug evolves into Vikavolt when exposed to a Thunder Stone.

Its Shiny coloration reflects this, as it gained a red shell, resembling a London bus.
