Alolan DugtrioSurging Sparks #123 Pokémon Card

Alolan Dugtrio is the regional variant of Dugtrio, a Ground-type Pokémon, introduced in Generation VII, specifically for the Alola region. Unlike its Kantonian counterpart, Alolan Dugtrio sports flowing, golden hair-like whiskers, which are said to be metallic. This unique aesthetic is attributed to the volcanic soil and mineral-rich environment of Alola, which influences their composition and growth. Alolan Dugtrio evolves from Alolan Diglett and is known for its mole-like behavior, living underground in colonies and emerging to bask in the sun. In the games and anime, Alolan Dugtrio is often depicted as a trio of individual Diglett heads, each with its own personality, working together. Their metallic whiskers are not just for show; they are incredibly strong and allow them to dig through even the hardest bedrock with ease, making them excellent tunnelers. Despite their heavy whiskers, they are not particularly fast. Their typing is Ground/Steel in the games, giving them a unique set of resistances and weaknesses. Alolan Dugtrio’s distinctive appearance has made it a memorable figure, adding a touch of Alolan flair to the classic Pokémon.
