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, Alolan Diglett. It evolves into Alolan Dugtrio starting at level 26.
It bears a close resemblance to Wiglett; however, the two are separate species.
In Alola, Diglett has developed three fine gold whiskers on its head from living in soil with high iron content and volcanic environment. 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 see outside. 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.
Needing to be able to dig through Alola's volcanic rock, Alolan Diglett is notably stronger than its non-Alolan counterparts. In Alola, their tunneling activity has resulted in creating cultivated soil. This cultivated soil is good enough for agriculture. The people in the Alola region are said to be very grateful for the actions of Alolan Diglett. However, they are still very small, tying with Klefki and Meltan as the shortest Steel-type. They can also be found in the Coastal Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated.
Alolan Diglett and its Evolution are the only known pokémon that can have Tangling Hair as an Ability.
Despite Diglett having a strong resemblance to Wiglett from the Paldea region, the two pokémon species are not biologically related, having entirely separate diets and habitats. Their resemblance to each other is said to be a coincidental result of adaptations to their respective environments.
