Diglett

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	Its skin is very thin. If it is exposed to light, its blood heats up, causing it to grow weak.
Silver	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.
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.
Emerald	DIGLETT are raised in most farms. The reason is simple--wherever they burrow, the soil is left perfectly tilled for growing delicious crops.
Diamond Pearl Platinum	A Pokémon that lives underground. Because of its dark habitat, it is repelled by bright sunlight.
HeartGold	Its skin is very thin. If it is exposed to light, its blood heats up, causing it to grow weak.
SoulSilver	If a DIGLETT digs through a field, it leaves the soil perfectly tilled and ideal for planting crops.
Black White Black 2 White 2	A Pokémon that lives underground. Because of its dark habitat, it is repelled by bright sunlight.
X	Lives about one yard underground where it feeds on plant roots. It sometimes appears aboveground.
Y	Its skin is very thin. If it is exposed to light, its blood heats up, causing it to grow weak.
Omega Ruby Alpha 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.
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.
Let's Go Pikachu Let's Go Eevee	It prefers dark places. It spends most of its time underground, though it may pop up in caves.
Sword	If a Diglett digs through a field, it leaves the soil perfectly tilled and ideal for planting crops.
Shield	It burrows through the ground at a shallow depth. It leaves raised earth in its wake, making it easy to spot.
Brilliant Diamond Shining Pearl	This Pokémon lives underground. Because of its dark habitat, it is repelled by bright sunlight.

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.
