Pokémon Of The Day

The Pokémon of June 29th, 2025 is…

#737 Charjabug

Charjabug (Japaneseデンヂムシ Dendimushi) is a dual-type Bug/Electric Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

It evolves from Grubbin starting at level 20 and evolves into Vikavolt when leveled up in a special magnetic field or when exposed to a Thunder Stone.

Charjabug is a small, cuboid Pokémon resembling an insect. Its body consists of three square segments. The last two sections have a thin, ring-like marking and a stubby brown leg on each side. Each eye is covered by a blue screen and is only visible when it glows. Two short, yellow spikes extend from the front square: one on each side of its rectangular mouth. The mouth itself is gray and has two jaws that close sideways, shaped like a lightning bolt when open.

Charjabug is often found half-buried in earth or leaves, munching on large quantities of humus. The sturdy shell covering Charjabug’s body protects it from attacks, allowing it to eat peacefully. This diet helps Charjabug evolve into Vikavolt. In its body is an electric sac, which it uses to store electricity generated by digesting food. The electricity it stores could run a household for a whole day and can be shared with other Pokémon. People on camping trips are grateful to have a Charjabug around. It can discharge electricity from the tips of its jaws to attack especially persistent opponents. Charjabug will zap anyone who accidentally steps on it. As shown in the Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon episode Rise and Shine, Starship!, it can send sound waves to communicate with nearby Grubbin. Vikavolt is known to clasp Charjabug in between its legs and use it as a battery to enhance its Electric-type moves, unless it is in an aerial battle. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Charjabug releases electricity while it sleeps. The reason is due it still digesting the meal it consumes.

Charjabug is the only known Pokémon that can have Battery as an Ability.”-Bulbapedia.
