Puplug

 (#021) is a dual-type Bug/Electric Meta Monster introduced in the first generation.

It transforms from Gloworm starting at level 8 and then transforms into Illuminsect starting at level 14.

Puplug are chrysalis-like creatures. Their heads are light yellow in color. They have glowing mouths shaped like semicircles that line up with the division between the yellow and green parts of their shells. They also have two orange antennae that radiate electricity and two large eyes with large pupils. Most of their bodies are green, with five main segments, and they have two stubby orange arms. Their tails are connected to their bodies via three small bands. Like Gloworm, Puplug have translucent, lightbulb-like tails.

After a certain period of time, Gloworm spin a cocoon around themselves with their silk. Although they are pupating and therefore mostly immobile, the newly-transformed Puplug retain eyes so that they may watch for predators and continue to communicate with their fellow Puplug. Gloworm try to find a safe place in which to pupate, usually in a hollow hole in a tree. To compensate for their lack of mobility, Puplug will flash their tails in rapid and confusing patterns to disorient and frighten away predators.



is based on a firefly cocoon and a lightbulb.

The name "" is a combination of the words "pupa" (meaning cocoon) and "plug".
