Grubbin

Grubbin in the anime

A wild Grubbin was chased by Ash underground in Alola to New Adventure, and Grubbin reappeared in a flashback in Loading the Dex. Ash later attempted to catch another wild Grubbin in First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style by having Pikachu battle it, but it broke out of the Poké Ball and went underground, then startled Lillie when it popped back up before getting away.
