The Pokemon CompanyThe Alolan Bug-type Pokemon Grubbin and its Bug/Electric evolutions Charjabug and Vikavolt are back in Scarlet & Violet’s DLC. Here’s how to catch and evolve them.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has reintroduced Sun and Moon’s early-game Bug-type family in its Teal Mask DLC. Players can once again catch and train Grubbin and its evolutions, Charjabug and Vikavolt.
Vikavolt in particular is a potentially strong team member with few weaknesses thanks to its typing and ability.
Here’s how players can find a Grubbin and evolve it into Vikavolt.
Where to find Grubbin in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Grubbin can be found in grassy areas of Kitakami. The best place to look are the Wistful Fields in the west and the Timeless Woods in the northeast.

Charjabug can be found in the same places as Grubbin, though it’s rarer. Since it’s green and not much larger than Grubbin, you may have some trouble spotting it.

Vikavolt cannot be found in the wild in Scarlet and Violet. Players will have to evolve a Charjabug to obtain it.
The Pokemon CompanyHow to evolve Grubbin into Charjabug and Vikavolt
The first step to getting a Vikavolt is easy, as Grubbin evolves into Charjabug at level 20.
To evolve Charjabug into Vikavolt, players will need to use a Thunder Stone. This is much easier than the original Gen VII method, which required players to level Charjabug up at a specific location with a special magnetic field.
