Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
In the anime
Diglett first appeared in Dig Those Diglett. 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 The Underground Round-Up. 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 they'd live in peace.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Special manga
