Crystal | It digs underground and chews on tree roots, sticking its head out only when the sun isn’t bright. |

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. |

Sun | It chews on plant roots underground. Farmers whose vegetables are vulnerable find it can be quite a pest. |
Moon | Many farmers cherish and nurture Diglett because its droppings enrich the soil it lives in. |
Ultra Sun | It travels through tunnels that it digs underground. It hates sunlight, so it comes out only after the sun goes down. |
Ultra Moon | Around their crops, farmers plant the kind of tree that Diglett like to eat as a way of getting Diglett to plow the fields for them. |

Alolan Diglett
Sun | Its head sports an altered form of whiskers made of metal. When in communication with its comrades, its whiskers wobble to and fro. |
---|---|
Moon | Its golden hairs function as sensors. It pokes them out of its burrow to monitor its surroundings. |
Ultra Sun | Although it’s powerful enough to dig right through volcanic rock, it doesn’t allow itself to be seen very often. |
Ultra Moon | The need to dig through volcanic rock in the ground has made them more powerful than the Diglett of other regions. |
Let's Go Pikachu Let's Go Eevee | After living in soil with high iron content for some time, three steel whiskers sprouted from the top of its head. |
Sword | The metal-rich geology of this Pokémon’s habitat caused it to develop steel whiskers on its head. |
Shield | Its three hairs change shape depending on Diglett’s mood. They’re a useful communication tool among these Pokémon. |
