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. |
