Wiglett Is A New Diglett-Like Pokémon Coming To Scarlet And Violet

There are Pokémon designs like Charizard that make me go, “ooo yes, very nice” and there are others like Probopass that make me go, “oh why do you exist?” There’s also a rare third class of Pokémon I call “weird lil things” when I see them and Wiglett, a new Pokémon joining the Pokédex in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, is that class’ newest member. 

Today, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company released a 3 and a half minute video highlighting Wiglett, its similarities to Diglett, and how it’s just different enough that it is an entirely new species, rather than a regional variant. As such, this new Diglett-like Pokémon is called Wiglett. The worm-like creature lives on the shore and in the ocean and appears to be able to stay together with the other Wigletts. You can see it in Serebii’sWatch the video below. 

Wiglett’s development is what I am most eager to watch, if at all. However, it’s possible that I will see this in another trainer’s training party. I don’t think Wiglett’s a good bet. 

For more about Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, watch the latest trailer that shows off new school rivalries, gym leaders, and more, and then watch this trailer all about competitive play in the 9th generation of Pokémon. After that, read our preview of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet to find out everything you need to know about the Paldea region. 

Wiglett will be at your party. We want to know your thoughts in the comments!
