Diglett (Japanese: ディグダ Digda) is a Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves into Dugtrio starting at level 26.
In Alola, Diglett has a dual-type Ground/Steel regional form. It evolves into Alolan Dugtrio starting at level 26.
It is ecologically similar to Wiglett; however, the two are separate species.
Biology
Diglett is a tiny, brown Pokémon that seems to be perpetually buried within the earth, leaving only its head visible. Its small stature makes it both the lightest and shortest Ground type. It has beady black eyes and a large, round, pink nose. A Diglett in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team mentions that it has feet, though their size and appearance are unknown. It spends much of its time underground and has very thin skin. If Diglett is exposed to sunlight, its blood will heat up and cause it to grow weak.
Diglett lives in tunnels and caves under the earth, where it feeds on tree roots and vegetables. It is known to live in burrows left behind by Onix. It also sometimes lives in burrows near forests and has even been shown to live inside of trees. Diglett digs regularly through the earth at a shallow depth, leaving perfectly tilled soil in its wake. Some farmers welcome Diglett because it tills their fields and its droppings enrich the soil, but others consider it a pest for eating their vegetables. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Diglett is known to sleep underground during the night. Seeing a Diglett asleep above ground is considered to be good luck.[1]
In Generation II, Diglett and its evolved form, Dugtrio, were the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Fissure.
Forms
Diglett has a regional form: Alolan Diglett.
In Alola, Diglett has developed three fine gold whiskers on its head from living in soil with high iron content and volcanic environment. These whiskers function as sensors and allow it to monitor its surroundings without coming above ground, though it will still occasionally poke its head out to see outside. The whiskers can also be used for communication, wobbling around to relay mood or emotion. They stand straight up for anger, swing around for happiness, and droop for sadness.[2]
Needing to be able to dig through Alola's volcanic rock, Alolan Diglett is notably stronger than its non-Alolan counterparts. In Alola, their tunneling activity has resulted in creating cultivated soil. This cultivated soil is good enough for agriculture. The people in the Alola region are said to be very grateful for the actions of Alolan Diglett. However, they are still very small, tying with Klefki and Meltan as the shortest Steel-type. They can also be found in the Coastal Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated.
Alolan Diglett and its evolution are the only known Pokémon that can have Tangling Hair as an Ability.
Despite Diglett having a strong resemblance to Wiglett from the Paldea region, the two Pokémon species are not biologically related, having entirely separate diets and habitats.[3] Their resemblance to each other is said to be a coincidental result of adaptations to their respective environments.[4]
Evolution
Diglett evolves into Dugtrio.
Alolan Diglett evolves into Alolan Dugtrio.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)
Game data
NPC appearances
- Pokémon Sword and Shield - The Isle of Armor: There is a side quest where the player is tasked with finding 150 Alolan Diglett scattered throughout the Isle of Armor.
- Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl: Diglett and Dugtrio can be found roaming the halls of the Grand Underground. When 40 Diglett (or Dugtrio, which counts as 3) have been found, all players in the same Grand Underground session will receive a variety of bonuses for a period of 4 minutes. These include raising the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon in a Pokémon Hideaway from 1/4096 to 1/2048, and forcing all Stone Boxes found when mining to become Pretty Stone Boxes.
- Pokémon Pinball: Numerous Diglett appear in a bonus stage accessible from the Red Table, where the aim is to knock all the Diglett out. Once achieved a Dugtrio appears which must be knocked out. More Diglett appear on the Red Table itself and earn the player points upon being hit.
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team: The third story mission of the game is to rescue a Diglett from Mt. Steel. Afterwards, Diglett can be found near Pelipper Post Office. Diglett's hero is its father, Dugtrio, who it thinks can do anything.
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness: Diglett is one of the members of Wigglytuff Guild. His primary role is sentry duty, to examine visitors' footprints and say what Pokémon they are. Like in the first game, Diglett also has a father who it thinks can swim in the sea.
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX: A group of Diglett will accidentally burrow their way to the player's home from the Pelipper Post Office. As an apology, the player is given free access to use the tunnel to immediately go to the post office directly from their home.

Trivia

- At the Heahea City Game Freak office in Pokémon Sun and Moon, Shigeki Morimoto states that he made up Diglett when he was a little kid.
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Diglett was originally to use its Japanese name, "Digda", as its English name. This name was retained in the German localization of the games.
- Diglett and Alolan Diglett have the lowest base HP and Defense stats of all Ground-type Pokémon.
- Alolan Diglett has the lowest base HP and Defense stats of all Steel-type Pokémon.
- In Pokémon the Series, Gary claims Diglett is able to pull its head underground faster than the speed of light. In the English dub, this is changed to simply at the speed of light.
- Diglett is listed in Pokémon Stadium as having Acid as a valid move, despite not being able to learn the move.[5]
- Despite being the only species seen within the halls of the Grand Underground in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Diglett and Dugtrio cannot actually be caught or traditionally encountered in any of the Pokémon Hideaways.
Design quirks
- In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team and their remake, after the first Mt. Steel mission, Diglett mentions having feet. It is mentioned again as being one of the seven mysteries of Pokémon in a letter, alongside Arbok's pattern changes and the inside of Forretress's shell.
- Its ability to learn moves like Scratch, Hone Claws and Slash imply it has claws on its hands and feet. This also applies to its Alolan counterpart who can learn Metal Claw. Furthermore, its ability to learn Body Slam implies that it has a body large enough to use the attack.
- Due to being embedded in the ground, Diglett and Dugtrio have special interactions with certain mechanics in the Pokémon games.
- In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, if Diglett is the player's partner Pokémon, and the player goes to the Pokémon Center, Diglett jumps to its Poké Ball to be healed.
- In the Pokéathlon, Diglett and Dugtrio are unable to jump. In Hurdle Dash, they dig under hurdles instead of jumping them, in Lamp Jump they cannot move, and in Disc Catch they can only move but not jump to catch the discs.

- Diglett, Dugtrio, Sandygast, Palossand, and Mega Gengar are immune to Telekinesis. However, a Pokémon transformed into one of these can be affected by Telekinesis.
- If a Z-Move animation, such as Supersonic Skystrike, results in showing Diglett or Dugtrio in the air, it is shown still embedded in the ground.
- Hurricane will not lift Diglett or Dugtrio off the ground in the Generation VI animation like it does with other Pokémon.
- Since version 0.177.1 (Android)/1.143.1 (iOS) of Pokémon GO, Diglett will not float in the air when it is evolved into Dugtrio, unlike other Pokémon.[6]
Origin
Diglett appears to be based on an artificial mole used in the Whac-A-Mole arcade games. This is referenced by its full health phrase in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, "Please don't whack me on the head!".
Alolan Diglett's hair may be based on Pele's hair, a thin volcanic glass formed near Hawaiian volcanoes. The darker soil surrounding its body may be a reference to black sand, which is found on beaches near volcanoes. Its Steel type may be a reference to another kind of magnetic black sand found in placer deposits.
Name origin
Diglett may be a combination of dig and the suffix -let (indicating small size).
Digda may be derived from dig.
