Dugtrio (Japanese: ダグトリオ Dugtrio) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves from Diglett starting at level 26.

Biology

Physiology

They are three Diglett huddled together, although what they look like underground is a mystery. They may be fused together, but that is uncertain. It is known, however, to have feet, as revealed in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

They tunnel under the earth at massive speeds, triggering tremors and earthquakes.

Behavior

Its three heads bob separately up and down to loosen the soil nearby, making it easier for it to burrow. Each triplet composing a Dugtrio trio thinks exactly like the other two triplets. They work cooperatively to burrow endlessly. In battle, it digs through the ground and strikes the unsuspecting foe from an unexpected direction.

Habitat

Dugtrio live in tunnels and caves under the earth. They also sometimes live in burrows near forests where they maintain the soil & plant trees to revitalize wooded areas. They are normally native to Kanto but can be found in Sinnoh as well.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Dugtrio feed on plant roots.
