Wiglett (Japanese: ウミディグダ Umidiguda) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Wiglett is a long, white Pokémon that seems to be perpetually buried within the earth, leaving only its head and part of its body visible. It has beady dark blue eyes and a large, round, pink nose. Although Wiglett has a stated Pokédex height, it is unknown how long it really is underneath the sand, or what the rest of its body looks like.[1]
Wiglett lives in beaches and seas, where it burrows into beach sand.[2][3] It pokes part of its body out of the ground to feed. Wiglett has an exceptional sense of smell, which has a range of over 60 feet (20 meters). Wiglett is a timid and cautious Pokémon; it hides in the sand when it picks up the scents of other Pokémon nearby.[1]
Some researchers initially confused Wiglett for a Paldean regional form of Diglett due to their physical resemblance, but they are separate species and differ in habitat and diet. It is theorized that the two species ended up having similar body plans as an adaptation to suit their environments and burrowing behavior.[1][2][3]
Trivia
- Wiglett was revealed on September 28, 2022, on a mock webinar titled "World Pokémon Ecological Society".[2][3]
Origin
Wiglett appears to be based on garden eels. The fact that it physically resembles Diglett may be a reference to convergent evolution or parallel evolution, which can lead to separate organisms independently developing similar or identical characteristics and body plans.
Name origin
Wiglett may be a combination of wiggle, water, or white, and Diglett.
Umidiguda may be a combination of 海 umi (sea) and ディグダ Digda (Diglett).
