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.
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 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. In Generation II, Fissure was its signature move. Druddigon is a natural predator of 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 monitor its surroundings. 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.[1] 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.
Despite having a strong resemblance to Wiglett from the Paldea region, the two Pokémon species are not biologically related, having entirely separate diets and habitats.[2] Their resemblance to each other is said to be a coincidental result of the convergent evolution of adaptations to their respective environments.[3]

- 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.
- In Pokémon GO, Diglett will not float in the air when it is evolved into Dugtrio, unlike other Pokémon.
- 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 anime, 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.
- Diglett is listed in Pokémon Stadium as having Acid as a valid move, despite not being able to learn the move.[4]
- Despite being the only species seen within the halls of the Grand Underground in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, Diglett and Dugtrio cannot actually be caught or traditionally encountered in any of the Pokémon Hideaways.
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.
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) or singlet.
Digda may be derived from dig.
