Dig Those Diglett (Japanese: ディグダがいっぱい! Full of Digda!) is episode 31 of the Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 28, 1997 and in the United States on October 19, 1998.
Synopsis
Whilst journeying through a mountainous region, the protagonists and Team Rocket hear what sounds like an explosion in the distance. Upon arriving at the scene, they instead find several trucks in a pile-up. A local construction worker reveals that a group of Diglett inhabiting the area are responsible, in an attempt to halt the building of a "Great Dam" within the region. The worker reveals that rewards will be offered for those who succeed in halting the Diglett's interference; conveniently, Gary Oak chooses this moment to make one of his rare appearances. Nevertheless, the attempts of the invited trainers fall flat, as their Pokémon possess no desire to do battle with the Diglett.
Meanwhile, Jessie and James plot to take possession of the hordes of new Pokémon nearby, but quickly realize their efforts would be in vain with simply Ekans and Koffing at their disposal. Shortly thereafter, seemingly out of a love for their owners, the two Pokémon evolve into Arbok and Weezing during a typical ambush on Ash and his friends. However, despite the evolutions, Team Rocket are again soundly defeated by Ash and Pikachu.
The episode concludes with the scene of the construction worker vowing to bring the dam project to a halt, after learning that Diglett and Dugtrio inhabited the area peacefully prior to his intrusion.
