What Diglett looks like underground is a mystery, a fact that has sparked many fan interpretations over the years.
They dig underground quickly, and can cause small tremors.
(Unconfirmed!)
Diglett live in tunnels, and caves under the earth. They also sometimes live in burrows near forests where they maintain the soil. Diglett are frequently kept on farms to till the land.
Diglett may also eat dirt, as some ground-dwelling creatures do.
Diglett appears to be very similar to the artificial moles used in Whac-A-Mole arcade games, as referenced by its full health phrase. There is also some similarity to worms.
Diglett's name seems to combine "dig", and "piglet."
