Strategy Overview
Grubbin's awful stats and Bug typing mean it faces stiff competition from Larvesta, which has access to U-turn and reliable recovery in Morning Sun. Furthermore, Grubbin cannot capitalize on its resistances, as Ground- and Grass-types like Mudbray, Snivy, and Foongus commonly run Rock Slide and Hidden Power Fire as coverage, while Grubbin cannot do much back to Fighting-types such as Mienfoo and Croagunk, giving them free setup opportunities.
