Perhaps if you make it so its Japanese name isn't Baton Pass ;). Agojimushi is almost definitely from "ago" (jaw) and "kabutomushi" (beetle), but I don't know what else. There's definitely more in there but I don't have enough knowledge of Japanese to catch it. — KiANGLO ^TALK 18:16, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

The table only displays baton pass because I didn't know its Japanese name and therefore didn't write anything in that field, my friend :P see now it says Pokémon, why you may ask, just because I will respond ;) --Raltseye 18:22, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Well, we still know its Japanese name (アゴジムシ Agojimushi) so that should definitely be placed there, even if we haven't nailed down the origin yet. I'm pretty certain on what I said before with 顎 ago (jaw), and 虫 mushi (insect) is a more accurate explanation for the last two characters. That still leaves a syllable unaccounted for, so someone who knows Japanese better will have to give their input on what the most likely explanation for ジ ji is. My best guess would have to be 磁 ji (magnetic). That would make sense given its described love of electricity (which may hint at the typing of its evolved form and thereby be significant enough to mention) but there's no official source linking it specifically to magnetism at the moment. — KiANGLO ^TALK 05:00, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Name Origin

Likely comes from grub, and possibly "grabbing". Definitely grub though. Nutter Butter (talk) 22:04, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
