Its story
Lifestyle
It lives on beaches and in the sea, stays buried, pokes out to feed, and smells more than twenty meters away. Timid, it hides when it scents other Pokémon and evolves into Wugtrio.
Name origin
Based on Diglett, garden eels, razor clams, and worms, its likeness to Diglett suggests convergent evolution. Wiglett may blend wiggle, water or white, and Diglett.
