In the anime

Diglett first appeared in EP031. These Mole Pokémon were causing trouble for a contruction crew that 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.

Diglett were also used by a man named Poncho in EP114. He used them to dig tunnels underground of a town that was infested with Electrode. The tunnels sent the Bomb Ball Pokémon to an open field where'd they live piece.
