New Pokemon Resembling Diglett Revealed for “Scarlet” and “Violet!”

[Water Pokémon Master]

A new Pokemon resembling Diglett has just been revealed for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet! The Pokemon Company revealed the Pokemon through a fake webinar called the “Pokemon World Ecological Society.” During this webinar, various “researchers” from around the world discussed footage of Pokemon from the Paldea region.

The researchers give the Pokemon the name “Wiglett,” though it’s unclear if this is a placeholder name or its official name. Although the Pokemon looks similar to Diglett, the researchers state it’s a completely new Pokemon. They also say it’s not a Paldean form of Diglett. Its cry sounds nothing like Diglett’s — it makes a “squeaky” sound. Its head pops up and down from beneath the sand.

Looks like a garden eel. I'm guessing it'll be water/ground.

Probably the first regional form (even if they pretend it isn't) that I don't like. Alolan Diglett was probably the furthest you could push Diglett's design without it looking ridiculous.
Also people are going to complain about Gen 1 getting another form, and a with a repeat Pokemon to boot.

I’m guessing this is one of the regional fakes that the leaker spoke about.
It’s pretty cute I guess, nothing noteworthy though.

its not like pikachu, meowth, and charizard will get more forms right?

 

[Da idiot]

I think either rock type or rock/water

Pikachu and Charizard are understandable, just due to popularity. But Meowth, with such a Japanese-centric design always struck me as odd to have a regional form in places like Galar.

Reality:

Yikes.

It really is Wiglett Wednesday, huh.

Yes I too thought of that from Animal Crossing having them in game. IDK why but to me I think they will be water/fairy with their pink noses, silly reasoning but yeah

 

[Digg07]

I think I would enjoy this design more if it actually lived on the sea floor and not the beach

 

[WillyCharizard]

They need to give an evolution where left the ground and we can see the full body, so people could finally have an idea of how Digglet looks underground even if its not the same Pokemon

 

[ShinyNoivern]

Very odd-looking, that's for sure.

 

[Kyle J. Asplund]

Waluigi Wednesday or Wigett Wednesday?

 

[FireLizard]

He's cute

 

[ZestyGan]

Finally, they revealed one lf the regional fakes!

Regional forms are an example of divergent evolution. This is an example of covergent evolution. And while I like the idea it uh... needs work.

 

[Mudkipster07]

It seems weird but it's background design makes a lot of sense, but the alolan diglett line should of been could wiglett instead!
