Pokedex descriptions

Red Blue	Lives about one yard underground where it feeds on plant roots. It sometimes appears above ground.
Yellow	It prefers dark places. It spends most of its time underground, though it may pop up in caves.
Gold HeartGold	Its skin is very thin. If it is exposed to light, its blood heats up, causing it to grow weak.
Silver SoulSilver	If a DIGLETT DIGS through a field, it leaves the soil perfectly tilled and ideal for planting crops.
Crystal	It digs underground and chews on tree roots, sticking its head out only when the sun isn’t bright.
Ruby Sapphire	DIGLETT are raised in most farms. The reason is simple - wherever this POKéMON burrows, the soil is left perfectly tilled for planting crops. This soil is made ideal for growing delicious vegetables.
Emerald	DIGLETT are raised in most farms. The reason is simple--wherever they burrow, the soil is left perfectly tilled for growing delicious crops.
FireRed	It burrows through the ground at a shallow depth. It leaves raised earth in its wake, making it easy to spot.
LeafGreen	Lives about one yard underground where it feeds on plant roots. It sometimes appears aboveground.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White Black 2 White 2	A Pokémon that lives underground. Because of its dark habitat, it is repelled by bright sunlight.
