Diglett and Dugtrio are Pokémon #50 and #51 in the Pokédex, making them one of the first generation of Pokémon. Surprisingly enough, these Pokémon have undergone no major transformations since then, apart from adding the Alolan versions. Both the original versions and the Alolan versions can be used in low-tier tournaments, and both are excellent Pokémon to use—if you use the right moves.
The original evolution line is only Ground-type Pokémon, but the Alolan line adds Steel to the mix. Mostly, these Pokémon will all use the same attacks. However, the list of best attacks can change as Pokémon evolve or in different weather conditions.
Notes
- Ground attacks are boosted by Sunny weather and Steel attacks are boosted by Snowy weather.
- These Pokémon can learn several attack types. These are best used depending on the weather. Still, for the most part, it's best to stick to Ground or Steel attacks.
