Pokédex entries

RedBlue Lives about one yard underground where it feeds on plant roots. It sometimes appears above ground.
Yellow It prefers dark places. It spends most of its time underground, though it may pop up in caves.
Stadium Its head pokes up approximately eight inches out of the ground. However, its real size remains a mystery to this day.
GoldStadium 2 Its skin is very thin. If it is exposed to light, its blood heats up, causing it to grow weak.
Silver If a Diglett Digs through a field, it leaves the soil perfectly tilled and ideal for planting crops.
Crystal It digs underground and chews on tree roots, sticking its head out only when the sun isn’t bright.
