Basics
Shadow Alolan Diglett is a Ground/Steel-type Pokémon. Its 100% IV CP is 389 at level 20 (Shadow Raids), 486 at weather-boosted level 25 and up to 770 at level 50. It is weak to Fire/Water/Fighting/Ground attacks (1.6×). It resists Normal/Flying/Psychic/Bug/Dragon/Steel/Fairy/Electric/Rock/Poison attacks. In raids, Metal Claw + Mud Bomb is its strongest moveset (level 40, 100% IVs). It evolves into Shadow Alolan Dugtrio with 50 Candy. As your buddy, it earns 1 Candy every 3 km you walk together.

Diglett are raised in most farms. The reason is simple—wherever this Pokémon burrows, the soil is left perfectly tilled for planting crops. This soil is made ideal for growing delicious vegetables.
