Read more ↓Diglett is a diminutive Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I, famously known as the Mole Pokémon. Its most striking characteristic is that only its head is ever seen above ground, leaving its body a complete mystery that has fueled fan speculation for decades. Diglett primarily inhabits caves, tunnels, and grassy fields, where it digs intricate networks of burrows. Its diet consists mainly of plant roots, which it consumes while tunneling, inadvertently aerating and enriching the soil, making it a natural ally to farmers. Diglett are typically shy and prefer to remain underground, emerging only briefly to forage or when disturbed. They are known for their speed in digging and their ability to quickly escape danger by retreating into their tunnels. Diglett evolves into Dugtrio, which consists of three Diglett sharing a single body. In the games, Diglett is often encountered early on and is a staple Ground-type, while in the anime, it has appeared in various episodes, often showcasing its digging prowess and playful nature. Its simple yet iconic design and the enduring mystery of its hidden body have cemented Diglett's place as a memorable and culturally significant Pokémon.
