Charjabug
Charjabug is a Bug/Electric type Pokémon introduced in Generation 7.
Charjabug stays perfectly still in preparation for Evolution, and often spends time with its body half-buried in the earth. Charjabug is able to store up electricity. It can store enough power to run a household for a whole day. The power it stores can be provided to other Pokémon, so it can also serve as a battery!
Charjabug evolves from Grubbin and evolves into Vikavolt.

Pokédex entries
| Sun | Its body is capable of storing electricity. On camping trips, people are grateful to have one around. |
|---|---|
| Moon | From the food it digests, it generates electricity, and it stores this energy in its electric sac. |
| Ultra Sun | It buries itself in fallen leaves and barely moves, munching away on humus. If you accidentally step on one, you’ll get a shock! |
| Ultra Moon | Its stout shell provides excellent defense from attacks. It uses electricity on persistent opponents. |
| Sword | While its durable shell protects it from attacks, Charjabug strikes at enemies with jolts of electricity discharged from the tips of its jaws. |
| Shield | Its digestive processes convert the leaves it eats into electricity. An electric sac in its belly stores the electricity for later use. |
