My bet it has something with 'nut' in it's name, and evolved into something that will have 'bolt'. But probably, it's the next-gen equivalent of Magnemites.

So, the PGO community isn't exactly sure, but while I was out on Saturday for Community Day, as soon as it ended all of the Chikoritas turned into this little guy, and every one of them turned into a Ditto. My theory was that it was a placeholder sprite with its "eye" serving as the focal point of whatever it's standing in for. Alternatively, the hexagonal shape of it's head seems to be too specific to be "just a placeholder". So who knows really.

Regarding this, Niantic official Kento Suga said that this is a 'tease' of upcoming Pokemons, probably for the 2019 game.
