In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Charjabug joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}. | In ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', Charjabug joined the rest of Alola in showering {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} with light so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|normal form}}. | ||
In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', Sophocles revealed that he planned to evolve Charjabug and learnt from [[Nurse Joy]] that he can do so over at [[Vast Poni Canyon]]. During their stay on [[Poni Island]], Sophocles and Charjabug trained to prepare for Charjabug's upcoming [[Evolution]]. Sophocles finally decided to visit Vast Poni Canyon in [[SM106]] and was accompanied by Ash, Kiawe, and [[Hapu]]. He attempted to let battle Charjabug some wild Pokémon, but was prevented from doing so by Ash, Kiawe, and Togedemaru, who battled the Pokémon themselves. The group then encountered Horacio, alongside his brothers, who was also planning to evolve his Charjabug and was looking for a legendary Bug Stone said to evolve all {{type|Bug}} Pokémon. Sophocles and Horacio took part in a race to see whose Charjabug would evolve first. After making their way through a cave, Charjabug and Sophocles witnessed Horacio and his Charjabug crossing a rope bridge, which soon collapsed beneath them. This triggered Sophocles's Charjabug to evolve into {{p|Vikavolt}}, giving it the ability to rescue Horacio and his Charjabug. | In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', Sophocles revealed that he planned to evolve Charjabug and learnt from [[Nurse Joy]] that he can do so over at [[Vast Poni Canyon]].

In [[SM119]], Sophocles entered Vikavolt into the [[Vikavolt race]], where it found itself up against Horacio and his own recently evolved Vikavolt. During the race, {{TRT}} tried to steal all of the participating Vikavolt, but with Sophocles and Horacio's combined efforts, the villainous trio's plans were thwarted, and the race continued. In the end, Sophocles's Vikavolt barely crossed the finish line before Horacio's Vikavolt, winning the race for Sophocles and earning him a [[Buginium Z]] as a reward. | In [[SM119]], Sophocles entered Vikavolt into the [[Vikavolt race]], where it found itself up against Horacio and his own recently evolved Vikavolt.

When Ash tried to first catch Vikavolt as a Charjabug, it electrocuted Ash after he impulsively grabbed it, showing its defensive nature. However, it was also a weak battler: when it battled Sophocles's Togedemaru, it was quickly defeated after using only one {{m|Discharge}} attack. In addition to being weak in battle and relying on hiding as a defensive technique whilst living in the wild, it initially seemed to be a bit unsure about itself and its abilities, as evidenced by its reluctance to run on a running wheel, until further encouraged by its Trainer. However, due to the training done in preparation for the Charjabug race, it apparently gained more self-confidence and a deeper connection to its Trainer, happily hugging Sophocles after winning the race. | When Ash tried to first catch Vikavolt as a Charjabug, it electrocuted Ash after he impulsively grabbed it, showing its defensive nature.

In ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]'', it was shown physically comforting Togedemaru when she became sad over {{AP|Pikachu}}'s absence, and later celebrated by nuzzling against her after their victory against [[Lusamine]]'s {{p|Milotic}} in ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]''. Much like Togedemaru, it shows compassion by using its electricity to calm down its Trainer whenever they are in a dark location, as shown in [[SM106]] and [[SM119]]. In ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'', it was shown to have the ability to send sound waves in order to communicate to a group of nearby {{p|Grubbin}}. In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', it was shown to love the taste of [[Poni Island]] {{wp|daikon}}. Since its evolution, it enjoys giving rides to smaller Pokémon like Togedemaru and [[Sandy]]. Vikavolt can also be easily distracted, as seen in [[SM119]], where it went to drink some sap from a tree during its training with Sophocles. | In ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]'', it was shown physically comforting Togedemaru when she became sad over {{AP|Pikachu}}'s absence, and later celebrated by nuzzling against her after their victory against [[Lusamine]]'s {{p|Milotic}} in ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]''.
