Overview
Charjabug is a Bug/Electric-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Battery Pokemon (Dex #139). From the food it digests, it generates electricity, and it stores this energy in its electric sac. Charjabug is the middle stage of the Grubbin and Vikavolt family. It carries two specialties: Chop and Generate, making it useful for both lumber processing and powering machines.
Habitat
Charjabug is found at the Vending Machine Break Area habitat (#083).
Item | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Vending Machine | 1 | Must be powered by a Utility Pole or Generate Pokemon |
Seat (Wide) | 1 | A wide bench seat |
Charjabug is a Rare visitor at this habitat. It is available during all times of day (Dawn, Day, Dusk, Night) and in all weather conditions (Sunny, Cloudy, Rainy). The habitat can be placed in any area. Charjabug shares this habitat with Grubbin (Common).
Important: The Vending Machine must be powered by a Utility Pole or a Pokemon with the Generate specialty. Without power, the Vending Machine will not activate the habitat. Once Charjabug is befriended, it can power the Vending Machine itself with its Generate specialty.
Location
The Vending Machine Break Area can be placed in any area across all biomes. You need a Vending Machine and a Wide Seat. Make sure the Vending Machine is connected to power before the habitat will activate.
How to Befriend
Build the Vending Machine Break Area by placing a powered Vending Machine and a Wide Seat near each other. Since Charjabug is a Rare visitor, be patient and check the habitat regularly. Walk up and interact with Charjabug when it appears to befriend it.
Specialties
Chop
Charjabug has the Chop specialty. Pokemon with the Chop specialty can process small logs into lumber. When logs are placed near Charjabug, it will chop them into usable lumber for crafting and building.
Generate
Charjabug also has the Generate specialty. Pokemon with this specialty will power nearby machines in their free time. This makes Charjabug extremely valuable: it can keep Vending Machines, streetlights, and other electrical equipment running without needing a Utility Pole. Charjabug's Battery Pokemon classification fits perfectly with this role.

Related Pokemon
Charjabug is the middle stage of a three-member family that includes Grubbin (Dex #138) and Vikavolt (Dex #140). In the main Pokemon series, Grubbin evolves into Charjabug at level 20, and Charjabug evolves into Vikavolt when leveled up in a special magnetic field area or with a Thunder Stone. In Pokopia, all three must be found independently. Charjabug shares the Vending Machine Break Area habitat with Grubbin. Both Charjabug and Vikavolt have the Chop and Generate specialties.
Tips
Charjabug's dual Chop and Generate specialties make it one of the best utility Pokemon in the game. It processes logs into lumber while also keeping machines powered.
Once befriended, Charjabug can power its own habitat's Vending Machine, creating a self-sustaining setup.
The Vending Machine Break Area also attracts Grubbin (Common), so you can befriend both at the same location.
Other Generate Pokemon include Elekid, Electabuzz, Electivire, and Vikavolt. Charjabug is one of the most accessible since it appears at a relatively simple habitat.
