This small, mole-like Pokémon is known for its ability to dig through the earth at high speeds, creating intricate tunnel systems. Its natural habitat consists of fertile soil, fields, and caves, where it can easily burrow and search for roots to eat. Diglett's behavior is characterized by its shyness; it rarely surfaces completely, preferring to keep most of its body hidden underground, which contributes to the mystery surrounding its full appearance. It evolves into Dugtrio starting at level 26. As a Ground-type, Diglett is strong against Fire, Electric, Poison, Rock, and Steel types, but weak against Water, Grass, and Ice types. In the games, Diglett is often encountered early on, particularly in Diglett's Cave, and its evolution Dugtrio is a popular choice for its high speed. In the anime, Diglett often appears in episodes involving construction or farming, where its digging abilities are either a help or a hindrance. Culturally, Diglett represents the unseen forces at play beneath the surface and the simple yet effective power of nature.
