Diglett
The Mole Pokémon
Type: Ground
Official Registration #: 50
Entry: A subterranean-dwelling pokémon renowned for its mile-long burrows. On an unprofessional note, the scientific community is also well-aware of what the rest of a diglett’s body looks like, and we are frankly intrigued by the fact that trainers prefer refusing to Google this. (Is this a meme? Is that why all of you keep making gifs about diglett?)Dugtrio
The Mole Pokémon
Type: Ground
Official Registration #: 51
Entry: The evolved form of diglett, by battle experience. Actually just a trio of slightly larger diglett, but somehow, these slightly larger diglett can cause far, far more devastating earthquakes than a single slightly smaller diglett. And this, readers, is why pokémon evolution still baffles the scientific community.
Diglett (Alola form)
The Mole Pokémon
Type: Ground/Steel
Official Registration #: 50
Entry: The Alolan variation of this mole-like pokémon possesses three very stiff, very coarse hairs on the top of its head, each of which are as sturdy and sharp as needles. Which, in combination with diglett’s habit of popping up under the feet of unsuspecting hikers, means that the Alolan counterpart to Diglett’s Tunnel is even more exciting than its Kantonian cousin.
Dugtrio (Alola form)
The Mole Pokémon
Type: Ground/Steel
Official Registration #: 51
Entry: The evolved form of Alolan diglett, by battle experience. Long ago, the native Alolans worshipped this pokémon as the incarnation of a land and fertility goddess. Nowadays, given its long, whip-like hair and penchant for bobbing its head rather violently if given a beat, it’s still worshipped as a sort of deity but not so much among native Alolans as a fertility goddess and more by young metalheads as the perfect pokémon to bring to a Morbid Arceus concert.
