Dugtrio (Japanese name: ダグトリオ Dugtrio) is a ground type Pokemon that was introduced in generation I. It is the fully evolved form of Diglett. Like Diglett, Dugtrio can learn the moves Scratch, Slash, Fury Swipes, Shadow Claw, and Cut. It can also learn Aerial Ace even though it can't lift from ground.

[edit] Biology

[edit] Physiology

Dugtrio is very a like to Diglett, its pre-evolvion. Instead of one head there are three, they could be fused together however this is uncertain.

[edit] Gender Differences

Diglett has no gender differences.

[edit] Competitive Battling

Dugtrio was seen in the UnderUsed (UU) Tier in Generation IV as it was generally too frail to succeed with regularity in the OverUsed Tier. In Generation V, many players use Dugrio and its Arena Trap ability to defeat opposing weather starters to win what are referred to as Weather Wars. Because of this, Dugtrio has risen to the OverUsed (OU) Tier of Competitive Battling.
