Diglett(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Ground Pokémon that made its first appearance in the first generation games Red and Blue. In Alola, it gains a secondary Steel typing.

Physiology and Behavior

Diglett is a small brown Pokémon with its body perpetually buried. On its visible head, it has small black eyes and a large pink round nose. It has been mentioned in the spinoffs that it does indeed have feet, though no details about its lower body have been given. Due to spending the majority of the time underground, its skin is thin and reacts strongly to sunlight. If it has too much exposure to the sun, its blood will heat causing it to grow weak.
