Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| Sun | Its strong jaw enables it to scrape trees and slurp out the sap. It normally lives underground. |
| Moon | They often gather near places frequented by electric Pokémon in order to avoid being attacked by bird Pokémon. |
| UltraSun | If you find its nest, you shouldn’t stick your hand inside. You’ll get bitten by an irritated Grubbin. |
| UltraMoon | It spits a sticky thread to stop opponents in their tracks, and then it grabs them in its sharp, sturdy mandibles to take them down. |
| Sword | Its natural enemies, like Rookidee, may flee rather than risk getting caught in its large mandibles that can snap thick tree branches. |
| Shield | It uses its big jaws to dig nests into the forest floor, and it loves to feed on sweet tree sap. |
