Grubbin (Japanese: アゴジムシ Agojimushi) is a Bug-type Pokémon.
Biology
Grubbin is a small, insectoid Pokémon. It has a white body with three nubs on either side resembling simple legs. There are two yellow spots on its side. Its head is dominated by two large, yellow mandibles with reddish-orange tips. The rest of its head is brown and has a reddish-orange structure with a yellow rim on top. It has large, black eyes with white pupils.
Grubbin uses its jaw as both a weapon and a tool for burrowing. Additionally, it can create sticky threads, which it shoots from its mouth and uses to swing around as though on suspension wires. It loves electricity, and can be found near power plants.[1]
Trivia
Origin
