Diglett-Alola @ Life Orb
Ability: Tangling Hair
Level: 5
Tera Type: Stellar
EVs: 36 HP / 236 Atk / 36 Def / 196 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Rock Blast
- Sucker Punch
With its Kantonian counterpart banned, Alolan Diglett fills its place as a fast cleaner while also possessing strong STAB moves allowing it to target the likes of Chinchou and Stunky and a good Attack stat! Rock Blast is helpful to OHKO Vullaby while also hitting Terastallized Chinchou and Wingull. Sucker Punch is valuable priority, allowing Alolan Diglett to pick off the only naturally faster Pokemon in the tier, Elekid, as well as Choice Scarf users like Gothita and Speed Boost Torchic. Tera Stellar is a unique Tera type option that allows Alolan Diglett to OHKO itemless Mienfoo and Foongus after Stealth Rock and OHKO Gothita from full HP with Sucker Punch. Alolan Diglett is lacking defensively, so it appreciates pivots like Mienfoo, Vullaby, and Chinchou allowing it to come in safely to fire off attacks. Knock Off users like the aforementioned Mienfoo and Vullaby as well as Stunky and Tinkatink can help remove Eviolite from foes to allow Alolan Diglett to more easily clean up teams. Alolan Diglett struggles to break through Mudbray due to its high bulk, so counters to it like Foongus and Wingull can come in handy.
