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)

Somebody needs to add that Grubbin evolves into Charjabug and Vikavolt

It's fairly obvious that Grubbin is a pre-Charjabug. This should be fixed. - unsigned comment from Chuckwoodjohn (talk • contribs)

"Fairly obvious" is not a strong enough basis for that kind of addition. Until there's official confirmation one way or the other we can't assume things like that. Also, remember to sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~) --Andy^P_K^M_N (talk) 18:15, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Grubbin was confirmed to evolve into Charjabug in the English trailer Mygs (talk) 13:12, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Link

Someone should link this page to Charjabug's, as Charjabug's already links to Grubbin's.
