More Revealed About Wiglett, the Garden Eel Pokemon

Wiglett has made its English-language debut in a video posted to the official Pokemon YouTube channel. As noted before, Wiglett is not a Paldean form of Diglett, but is a new Pokemon with a very similar appearance.

Boasting an exceptional sense of smell, Wiglett is able to pick up scents from over 60 feet away. 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.

Wiglett pokes a part of its body out of the sand to feed in the ocean. It’s still unclear what the rest of its body hidden in the sand is like or how long it might be. It’s said that Wiglett’s resemblance to Diglett might be a mere coincidence—a result of its adaptation to its environment.
