No way to know, the trailer did show Charjabug at Lv 28, but that's not really confirmation.

>Vikavolt has levitate
At least it's somewhat good and not complete shit. Lets hope the bst is good too.
>>
Vikavolt is like a fortress that zooms through the forest, firing a beam of electricity from its mouth. Its huge jaws control the electricity it blasts out.

Vikavolt is adept at acrobatic flight maneuvers like tailspins and sharp turns. It can fly at high speeds even as it weaves its way through the complicated tangle of branches in the forest.

Vikavolt clasps Charjabug with its legs and uses it as an extra battery. Even if a battle drags on, it can use the electric power from Charjabug to continue firing off powerful moves. When Vikavolt is engaged in a fierce aerial fight, it releases Charjabug to make itself lighter and increase its mobility.

Neat. I wonder how Battery even works? Is it just, while Charjabug is out, allies get a Special Attack boost? That seems interesting, but it's also a middle stage bug mon. Hard to see it getting much use.
>>
>>26930297
Im so happy it gets levitate
>>
>>26930994
It's like Flower Gift, I'm assuming.

It might be a scyther/scizor thing where Charjabug has the same stats as Vikavolt just differently distributed.
>>
>>26930297
shame it's a regional bug, because even if it gets levitate it'll still have shit stats.

then again, I'm currently rocking Galvantula in my mono-bug team, so this might be a cool substitution.
>>
>>26930434
Seriously. This is why I'm calling mine Gradius.
>>
>>26931027
>>26931053
We have seen footage of Chargabug at a higher level than all early route bugs evolve at, so perhaps they're easing up on that cliche this gen.

Of course, we don't actually know, so it may be that their example one was just higher level for whatever reason. Perhaps it's a wild one, given how the fight footage seems to have no trainer.

Here's hoping.
>>
>>26930297
I have a feeling it will appear in Hordes with bunch of Charjabugs
>>
>>26931053
They're probably doing what they did with Talonflame and Diggersby. They both have shit base stats, but their hidden ability makes them very strong so they are good post game and competitive, but don't dominate the early, mid and late game as a route 1 mon.

I assume the same will happen with Vikavolt.

>Levitate
It may not be the case this time.

But really bugfags need to stop bitching about everything. Levitate is a pretty nice ability considering it can switch in on EQ now. Sure it could've been better but it's pretty nice and manages to keep it and Galvantula different in a way.
>>
>>26930297
>levitate
Bye bye HA
>>
>>26931239
I think it showing Zap Cannon in the Japanese trailer got everyone excited. They pointed to a rail gun design and wanted it to have a more "interesting" ability than "immune to ground."
>>
>>26931239
People just really wanted No Guard.

That said, we don't know this thing's HA and it's probably gonna pull a Talonflame/Diggersby
>>
>>26931027
Scyther and Scizor have the same bst? i had no idea honestly.
something like charjabug with eviolite as a support mon would be cool in double.
>>
>>26931281
But like I said, Levitate.

Save Bronzong, Levitate Pokemon don't get HAs. Don't expect an amazing ability.
>>
>>26931281
>>26931268
No Guard would certainly be good to land high power attacks. Something like Compound Eyes would fit thematically and give a similar bonus without the drawback that No Guard gives. However, I think the best ability would be something that boosts the effectiveness (either accuracy or power) of Bullet type moves, which would include Zap Cannon. Heres a list of everything it would boost:

Compound eyes does jack shit to help zapcannon.
Zapcannon accuracy with Compound Eyes is only 65%.
>>
I hope it gets Tinted Lens

This thing might not even have good special attack.

Levitate is one of the best abilities in the game not sure why people are complaining.
>>
>>26931706
because it boring as fuck and not actually as great as everyone makes it out to be
would be much better off with speed boost or a special version of moxie or someshit

something that will make a difference and make up for its guaranteed underwhelming stats
>>
>>26931074
I'm calling it Gradius too, also it has Levitate, this pokemon has potential for competitive game, I hope the stats don't shit on it
>>
I just pray that it isn't like most of the regional bugs and actually has base stats higher than 400. I mean, no point hyping up Vikavolt if he ends up with worse stats than Galvantula.
>>
>>26931643

Ability is confirmed Levitate.
>>
>>26931834

Hazard immunity is never bad.
>>
>>26931706
I'd be happy with something close to Galvantula's stats, nothing too amazing but good enough already. It looks cool as fuck.

but still gets fuck by rocks which is the one hazard it needs to worry about
great ability
>>
>>26931281
It has levitate it wont have a HA
>>
>>26932020
See: >>26931786
It is an exception, though. Aside from Duskull, which gets it as a hidden ability, Bronzor and Bronzong are the only 2 out of 32 (counting Giratina Origin but not all the other megas and forme chages which keep it) Pokemon to have hidden abilities. Notably, they're the only ones to have a second normal ability as well.

So far, there's not a single Pokemon whose main ability is only Levitate, who has gotten a hidden ability.

Do you people actually like using bug pokémon? With the exception of Scyther and Scizor they all suck. Ah, and Volcarona maybe. Bug is the worst type in the game.

If you want to use Skorupi you have to evolve it eventually. Drapion isn't a bug type, but I think it still counts as a bug.
