Summary
An imaginativePokemonplayer has just designed a Grass-type Diglett variant that looks more like a carrot than a mole. Diglett was one of the first 151 Pokemon introduced in the originalPokemon Red and Bluegames, and it quickly set itself apart from the rest with its unique design. Most of the time, only Diglett’s head is visible, with the rest of its body being buried underground - though aPokemon Scarlet and Violetglitch gives a small clue about what it may look like. This element of mystery makes Diglett especially popular withPokemonfans, despite it not being particularly useful as a battle companion.
Diglett also has its fair share of interesting evolutions and variants. At level 26, Diglett will evolve into Dugtrio, which is essentially three Diglett joined together. Both Diglett and Dugtrio have Alolan variants that give them a Steel element alongside their usual Ground abilities. Furthermore,Pokemon Scarlet and Violetintroduced Wiglett and Wugtrio, a pair of Water-type Pokemon that, while being entirely separate from the Diglett/Dugtrio lineage, share many traits in terms of design and behavior.
This isn’t getting into the custom Diglett variants created byPokemonfans like Reddit user GL0riouz, who recently shared a creative Grass-type design for both Diglett and Dugtrio on r/pokemon. While thetraditional Diglett is designed after a real-life mole, GL0riouz’s take (fittingly named “Carrett”) instead resembles a carrot with Diglett’s signature beady eyes and large, oval-shaped nose. Just like the real Dugtrio, the evolved “Carotrio” resembles three Carrett bunched together, leaving some Reddit users wishing for aPokemongame where all the creatures are based on food.
Carrot-Themed Diglett Grass Variant Looks Good Enough to Eat
Plenty of otherPokemonfans have devised impressive alternate forms for both Diglett and Dugtrio, including Paradox versions that show what the Mole Pokemon’s ancient ancestors and futuristic decedents might look like. Others have createddarker versions of Diglettthat instead resemble a tombstone, much to the morbid delight of their fellowPokemonfans.
GL0riouz’s Grass-type Diglett variant is a tad more wholesome, instead reimaging the Gen 1 fan favorite as a nutritious carrot that still retains the defining feature of both Diglett and its evolved form: namely that most of its body remains mysteriously buried underground at all times. Carrett and Carotrio are certainly charming, though they may wish tosteer clear of any rabbit-themed Pokemonif they don’t want to become a sudden snack.
