Diglett's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Diglett PvE Analysis

Diglett has pathetic stats, with its DEF and HP not even going beyond 100. Its ATK isn't good either. It's a Dex filler and nothing more. 😒

Diglett PvP Analysis

🧸 Little Cup

Diglett, with its abysmal stats, only finds use in the Little Cup, and even then, only to a certain degree. The only factor working in its favor is the coverage it gets from its Ground and Rock-type moves. However, its lack of bulk severely hinders any form of viability.

💎 Diglett’s best moveset for the Little Cup is Mud-Slap, Mud Bomb, and Rock Tomb.
