'''Vikavolt''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クワガノン''' ''Kuwaganon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charjabug}} when [[level]]ed up in [[Vast Poni Canyon]]. It is the final form of {{p|Grubbin}}.

==Biology==
Vikavolt is a beetle-like Pokémon with a large pair of mandibles. Its small orange face has robotic, yellow eyes and is covered by a blue carapace. The mandibles extend from this helmet. They are blue on the inner surface and yellow on the outer surface. At the base of each mandible is a large spike and the inside is lined with short spikes. Its body is black and divided into three sections by yellow rings. The last two sections have a yellow spot on each side. On its back is a pair of wide, flat wings that are transparent with blue wing covers. It has four legs. The front pair of legs has two claws, while the back pair has only one.

Vikavolt produces electricity with an organ in its abdomen, and controlled by its huge jaws to fire beams. When it clasps a {{p|Charjabug}} in its legs, it is able to utilize it as an extra battery. This allows it to continue firing powerful attacks. However, in fierce aerial fights, it will release Charjabug to make itself lighter and more mobile. It is an adept flier, capable of acrobatic maneuvers such as tailspins and sharp turns. Even as it weaves through complicated tangles of branches in the forest, it is able to maintain high-speed flight.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/vikavolt/</ref>

==Trivia==
* Vikavolt shares its category with {{p|Pinsir}}. They are both known as the Stag Beetle Pokémon.
* Vikavolt has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Vikavolt appears to be based on a {{wp|stag beetle}} and a {{wp|railgun}}. Its straight, scissor-like mandibles resemble those of ''Lucanus hayashii'' and some ''{{wp|Cyclommatus}}'' species of beetles.

====Name origin====
Vikavolt may come from ''vice grip'' or ''wicga'' ({{wp|Old English}} for insect) and ''{{wp|volt}}''.

Kuwaganon may be a combination of 鍬形虫 ''kuwagatamushi'' (stag beetle) and ''cannon''.
