'''Diglett''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディグダ''' ''Digda'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Dugtrio}} starting at [[level]] 26.
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Dugtrio}} starting at [[level]] 26.
In [[Alola]], Diglett has a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Steel}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} Dugtrio starting at level 26.
It is [[Ecologically similar Pokémon|ecologically similar]] to {{p|Wiglett}}; however, the two are separate species.


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Diglett is a tiny, brown {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that seems to be perpetually buried within the earth, leaving only its head visible. Its small stature makes it both the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] and [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{t|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.
This tiny brown Pokémon's most famous feature is that it seems to be perpetually buried within the earth, usually having only its head visible. Another one of its most distinguishing characteristics is its big red nose.


What Diglett looks like underground is a big mystery, which has sparked many fan interpretations over the years. The only thing known is that they have feet, as mentioned in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], although not even its friend {{p|Magnemite}} knew this until Diglett mentioned its feet.
Diglett lives in tunnels and {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} under the earth, where it feeds on tree roots and vegetables. It is known to live in burrows left behind by {{p|Onix}}. It also sometimes lives in burrows near forests and has even [[PK04|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.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>


====Gender differences====
In [[Generation II]], Diglett and its evolved form, {{p|Dugtrio}}, were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Fissure}}.
None that can be seen above ground.


====Special abilities====
===Forms===
They dig underground quickly, and can cause small tremors.
Diglett has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Diglett.


===Behavior===
In [[Alola]], Diglett has developed three fine gold whiskers on its head from living in soil with high iron content. 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.<ref>[https://www.Pokémon-sunmoon.com/en-us/Pokémon/alolan-diglett/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Diglett]</ref> Needing to be able to dig through Alola's volcanic rock, Alolan Diglett is notably stronger than its non-Alolan counterparts. However, they are still very small, tying with {{p|Klefki}} and {{p|Meltan}} as the shortest {{type|Steel}}. They can also be found in the [[Coastal Biome]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]], where Alola's island life is simulated.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Cave.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Cave Pokémon|Cave Pokémon]]]]
Diglett live in tunnels and caves under the earth. They also sometimes live in burrows near forests where they maintain the soil.  Diglett are frequently kept on farms to till the land.


===Diet===
Alolan Diglett and its evolution are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Tangling Hair}} as an [[Ability]].
:''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''
Diglett may also eat dirt, as some ground-dwelling creatures do.


==In the anime==
Despite Diglett having a strong resemblance to {{p|Wiglett}} from the [[Paldea]] region, the two Pokémon species are not biologically related, having entirely separate diets and habitats.<ref>[https://wpes.pokemon.co.jp/en/ World Pokémon Ecological Society]</ref> Their resemblance to each other is said to be a coincidental result of adaptations to their respective environments.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/wiglett/ Pokémon Scarlet and Violet site | Wiglett]</ref>
[[Image:Diglett anime.PNG|right|thumb|A Diglett in the anime]]
Diglett first appeared in ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett]]''. These Mole Pokémon were causing trouble for a construction crew that planning on building a dam. The foreman insisted that the Diglett were to be exterminated, but the Pokémon of the trainers that happened to be in the area refused to fight them. The reason was that the Diglett and Dugtrio were helping to plant trees in the forest.


Diglett were also used by a man named {{Oi|Poncho}} in ''[[EP114|The Underground Round-Up]]''. He used them to dig tunnels underground of a town that was infested with {{p|Electrode}}. The tunnels sent the Bomb Ball Pokémon to an open field where they'd live in peace.
===Evolution===
Diglett evolves into {{p|Dugtrio}}.


Diglett appear in the ''{{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness}}'' special as members of the [[Wigglytuff Guild]].  They sounded the alarm whenever intruders stepped into the Guild.
{{rf|Alolan}} Diglett evolves into Alolan Dugtrio.


Several Diglett also appeared in [[DP110]].

* At the [[Heahea City]] Game Freak office in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, [[Shigeki Morimoto]] states that he made up Diglett when he was a little kid.
* Diglett has the second lowest HP after {{p|Shedinja}}. This makes it one of the most difficult Pokémon with a 255 [[catch rate]] to be caught.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|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 {{rf|Alolan}} Diglett have the lowest base {{stat|HP}} and {{stat|Defense}} stats of all {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], after the first [[Mt. Steel]] mission, Diglett mentions having feet.

* Up until {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Diglett was only obtainable in [[Diglett's Cave]].
* 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.

===Design quirks===
[[File:Diglett feet reference PMD.png|frame|Diglett mentioning having feet in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] and their [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|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 {{p|Arbok}}'s pattern changes and the inside of {{p|Forretress}}'s shell.
**Its ability to learn moves like {{m|Scratch}}, {{m|Hone Claws}} and {{m|Slash}} imply it has claws on its hands and feet. This also applies to its Alolan counterpart who can learn {{m|Metal Claw}}. Furthermore, its ability to learn {{m|Body Slam}} implies that it has a body large enough to use the attack.
* Due to being embedded in the ground, Diglett and {{p|Dugtrio}} have special interactions with certain mechanics in the [[Pokémon games]].
** In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, if Diglett is the {{player}}'s [[Walking Pokémon|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.
** Since [[Generation V]], when Diglett and Dugtrio are sent out, they merely fade onto the screen instead of dropping down like all other Pokémon.<!--even those that fly or levitate go down-->
** In the [[Poké Transfer]], Diglett and Dugtrio run between bushes rather than jump.
** On the "Compare" screen of {{g|X and Y}}'s Pokédex, if the player taps the menu sprite of Diglett, Dugtrio, or {{me|Gengar}}, the Flying-type Pokémon will give up and disperse before even trying to lift it.
** Diglett, Dugtrio, {{p|Sandygast}}, {{p|Palossand}}, and {{me|Gengar}} are immune to {{m|Telekinesis}}. However, a Pokémon {{m|transform}}ed into one of these can be affected by Telekinesis.
** If a [[Z-Move]] animation, such as {{m|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 {{g|GO}}, Diglett will not float in the air when it is evolved into Dugtrio, unlike other Pokémon.<ref>(June 17, 2020).

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. 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. 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.

Trivia

Design quirks

Diglett mentioning having feet in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
  • 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.
    • Since Generation V, when Diglett and Dugtrio are sent out, they merely fade onto the screen instead of dropping down like all other Pokémon.
    • In the Poké Transfer, Diglett and Dugtrio run between bushes rather than jump.
    • On the "Compare" screen of Pokémon X and Y's Pokédex, if the player taps the menu sprite of Diglett, Dugtrio, or Mega Gengar, the Flying-type Pokémon will give up and disperse before even trying to lift it.
    • 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.
