Diglett and Alolan Diglett 100% perfect IV stats, shiny Dugtrio in Pokémon Go

This week’s Spotlight Hour is dedicated to the Mole Pokémon, specifically Diglett and its Alolan variant. Both Diglett and Alolan Diglett are Ground and Ground/Steel types, respectively. While players have speculated about the appearance of these Pokémon beneath the surface, it’s worth noting that the Alolan Dugtrio boasts some of the most impressive hair in the Pokémon universe.

For those who have already caught all the Diglett they need, this Spotlight Hour offers an additional incentive: the double evolution XP bonus. This means players can gain significant amounts of XP by using a Lucky Egg and evolving Pokémon instead of just catching them.

Diglett 100% Perfect IV Stats in Pokémon Go

This Spotlight Hour is an excellent opportunity to catch Diglett with perfect IV stats. In Pokémon Go, a ‘perfect’ Pokémon refers to one with the ideal IVs across all three stats: Attack, Defense, and Stamina, totaling 15 in each category.

To identify a perfect Diglett, players should look for specific CP values based on their Trainer Level:

• Level 30 (wild CP maximum) – 579 CP
• Level 35 (weather-boosted wild CP maximum) – 628 CP

For Alolan Diglett, the ideal CP values are:

• Level 30 (wild CP maximum) – 584 CP
• Level 35 (weather-boosted wild CP maximum) – 632 CP

Are Dugtrio and Alolan Dugtrio Good in PVP?

Unfortunately, both Dugtrio and Alolan Dugtrio are not viable choices in the PvP scene. They perform poorly even in the lower tiers of the Go Battle League and are completely outmatched in the Ultra and Master Leagues.

However, players might find some success with Shadow Alolan Dugtrio, especially in the Great League, by utilizing moves like Sand Attack, Mud Bomb, and Iron Head. This combination can create shield pressure, but players should be aware that they will generally struggle against stronger meta Pokémon.

Shiny Diglett and Alolan Diglett

Yes, shiny Diglett and shiny Alolan Diglett are available in Pokémon Go. The shiny versions of both were released a few years ago, and while players may encounter shiny Diglett in the wild, the shiny rates are not boosted outside of special events. Thus, catching a shiny Diglett requires persistence.

What Do Shiny Diglett and Alolan Diglett Look Like?

Shiny Diglett features a change in its nose color from pink to blue, which some players find a bit underwhelming. Alolan Diglett, on the other hand, retains the blue nose but has a slightly burnt appearance, which adds a unique twist to its design.

Other Tips for This Spotlight Hour

In addition to the chance of catching a shiny Diglett, there are several benefits to participating in this Spotlight Hour:

• The primary advantage is the double evolution XP bonus, allowing players to accumulate a significant amount of XP quickly. To maximize this, it’s advisable to prepare two boxes in Pokémon storage, one for Pokémon to evolve and another for those to be evolved and transferred.
• New players can use this time to collect enough Diglett candy to fully evolve their Pokémon and add Dugtrio to their Pokédex.
• Catching Diglett contributes to progress in respective catch bonus medals, making this Spotlight Hour a productive opportunity for players seeking to improve their stats.

Remember, the events during the Spotlight Hour only last for one hour, from 6 PM to 7 PM local time. Best of luck in your search for the perfect Diglett!
