Diglett @ Groundium Z / Life Orb
Ability: Arena Trap
Level: 5
EVs: 36 HP / 236 Atk / 236 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Sucker Punch
- Substitute / Memento
In most tiers, trappers are known for removing potential threats for a Pokémon or a core, and Diglett is the premier example in LC! With access to the coveted Arena Trap, along with the fastest unboosted Speed tier, Diglett can trap any Pokémon that is grounded and revenge kill if a partner has been knocked out. Groundium Z allows it to fire a Tectonic Rage able to knock out bulkier threats such as Staryu, Timburr, and Foongus if their Eviolites have been removed. Although Diglett's positives are outstanding, its frailty means it can't switch in on anything, meaning it needs help from slow pivots such as Mienfoo and Chinchou to get in. Special attackers such as Abra and Gastly, and setup sweepers such as Shellder and Vullaby appreciate Diglett trapping and removing threatening Pokemon such as Alolan Grimer and Pawniard, which are hazardous for them, and giving support with Memento to set up. Diglett is hindered by Water- and Grass-types, and for that, Foongus is a good partner to deal with them.
