Grubbin questions

Is Grubbin a PokéSurvivor starter?

No. Grubbin joins the collection from the Alola gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.

What type is Grubbin in PokéSurvivor?

Grubbin is Bug. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.

Can Grubbin be shiny?

Yes. A wild Grubbin is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.

Is Grubbin a rift legendary?

No. Grubbin can appear in waves. If its BST sits in a boss band, it can also be one of the five timed bosses.
