Wiglett

Wiglett is a Water type Pokémon introduced in Generation 9.

Wiglett was revealed in a spoof presentation from the World Pokemon Ecological Society, which looked at how Pokémon adapted to different landscapes.

Wiglett bears a resemblance to Diglett, however it is a different species that looks similar due to environmental adaptation. It has a skittish disposition and is constantly cautious of its surroundings. When it notices the scent of other Pokémon, Wiglett burrows into the sand to conceal itself.​
