Trivia
- Grubbin shares its category with Blipbug. They are both known as the Larva Pokémon.
- It is by far the only Bug type to evolve to its first stage at the late level of 20.
Origin
Grubbin is based off the white grub, the larva of the May beetle/June bug, with its soft, white body and orange head with a harder exoskeleton. Its jaw resembles an electric plug, foreshadowing its evolution into a part Electric-type Pokémon.
Etymology
Grubbin is likely a combination of "grubbing", which means to dig through hard dirt, and "grub".
