Alolan Dugtrio

Alolan Dugtrio is the regional variant of Dugtrio, a Mole Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Unlike its Kanto counterpart, Alolan Dugtrio is a Steel/Ground type, reflecting the volcanic and mineral-rich environment of the Alola region. Its distinctive feature is its long, flowing blonde hair, which is actually metallic, hardened hair-like whiskers. In Alolan culture, these whiskers are highly prized and are believed to be a manifestation of the land's feminine deities, making Alolan Dugtrio a sacred and cherished Pokémon. They are often found near active volcanoes, burrowing through the earth with remarkable speed and precision. Their diet consists primarily of subterranean minerals, which contribute to the strength and luster of their metallic hair. Alolan Dugtrio evolves from Alolan Diglett, which itself is a Steel/Ground type. In the games and anime, Alolan Dugtrio often plays a role in local folklore and is sometimes depicted as a protector of sacred sites.
