Diet

In the anime

Vibrava first appeared in Beg, Burrow and Steal. Dozens of Trapinch were seen evolving into them at an underground lake. Team Rocket made a failed attempt to steal the Antlion Pokémon despite the fact the idea Meowth had of using their previous forms as nut-crackers was now foiled. The Vibrava helped Ash, May, Max, Brock, Hal and Elisa out of the underground labyrinth.

A coordinator named Brianna used a Vibrava in the battle round of the Pokémon Contest in Spontaneous Combusken. Vibrava were also used by random coordinators in Hi Ho Silver Wind and Harley Rides Again.

Game data

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Ruby

To make prey faint, Vibrava generates ultrasonic waves by vigorously making its two wings vibrate. This Pokémon's ultrasonic waves are so powerful, they can bring on headaches in people.

Pokémon Sapphire

Vibrava's wings have not yet completed the process of growing. Rather than flying long distances, they are more useful for generating ultrasonic waves by vibrating.

Pokémon Emerald

It looses ultrasonic waves by rubbing its wings together. Since a Vibrava's wings are still in the process of growing, it can only fly short distances.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

It generates ultrasonic waves by violently flapping its wings. After making its prey faint, it melts the prey with acid.

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

It violently shudders its wings, generating ultrasonic waves to induce headaches in people.

Trivia

Origin

Vibrava is based on the adult stage of an antlion.

Name origin

Vibrava's name is probably based on the word vibrate, to shake.

In other languages

• German: Vibrava
• French: Vibraninf - The last syllable, ninf, could be a corruption of nymph. A nymph for Vibrava's case means an immature stage for a species of "true bug" as Vibrava isn't fully grown yet.
• Korean: ???
