Diglett (Japanese: ディグダ Digda) is a Ground-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Dugtrio starting at level 26.
Biology
Physiology
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 pink nose.
What Diglett looks like underground is a mystery, a fact that has sparked many fan interpretations over the years. The only thing known is that they have feet, as mentioned in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, although not even its friend Magnemite knew this until Diglett mentioned it. Based on its height and weight, it is unlikely that the part of Diglett which is hidden can be much bigger than the portion that is visible.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
They dig underground quickly, and can cause small tremors. According to Gary in Dig Those Diglett!, Diglett can pull their heads underground at the speed of light.
Behavior
It burrows through the ground at a shallow depth. It leaves raised earth in its wake, making it easy to spot. Diglett has very thin skin, and thus if Diglett is exposed to light its blood will heat up, causing it to grow weak. This could be why Diglett prefer dark places, sticking its head up only when the sun is not bright.
Habitat
Diglett live in tunnels and caves under the earth. They also sometimes live in burrows near forests where they maintain the soil. On occasions, they have been shown to live in the canopies of forests. Diglett are frequently kept on farms to till the land. Diglett are native to Kanto, but can be found in Sinnoh.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Diglett feeds on plant roots.

Major appearances
Diglett first appeared in Dig Those Diglett!. They were causing trouble for a construction crew that was 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.
