Diggersby (Japanese: ホルード Horūdo) is a dual-type Normal/Ground Pokémon.

It evolves from Bunnelby starting at level 20.

Biology

Diggersby is a bipedal Pokémon resembling a large, portly rabbit.

Diggersby's most remarkable features are its two ears, which are each crowned with a massive, muscular forearm, complete with three-fingered paws. The ears are furry and mostly grey in coloration, with a pink inner pinna, whereas the paws at the ends of the ears are brown. Three spots of brown fur surround each of the ear-wrists. A pointed protrusion marks the outer elbow, hinting at the presence of bones inside the ear-forearms. These ears are strong enough to lift objects weighing over a ton and prove to be an invaluable asset in Diggersby's digging.

The other four limbs growing from Diggersby's round, grey torso are small in comparison to the ears. The fur of the upper paws is white, while the feet are brown. A sash-like structure composed of thicker, wooly fur surrounds Diggersby's waist. This sash is brown with a squared yellow segment on the front. Diggersby likes to keep its upper paws tucked into this sash.

Diggersby's face is dominated by a large brown muzzle, resembling what would be three-day stubble on a middle-aged human male. Two large front teeth protrude from its wide mouth and three whiskers decorate each cheek. Diggersby's eyes are perpetually squinting and it seems to favor a slightly furrowed brow.

Trivia

Origin

Diggersby is based on a rabbit as well as rabbit burrows, its brown and tan belly fur meant to represent the overturned earth at the entrances to said burrows. Considering its ability to use its ears as powerful digging and excavating tools, as well as the fact that it hangs out at construction sites, Diggersby is probably based on an excavator and possibly other heavy equipment. Its tendency to laze about after working, as well as its brown "five o'clock shadow" and mud-like markings, may also mean Diggersby is based on construction workers as well.

Name origin

Diggersby may be a combination of digger and bunny.

Horūdo may be a combination of 掘る horu (to dig) or hole and 土 do (soil) or 兎 to (rabbit).
