Appearance

Dugtrio is a group of three small mole-like creatures. The tops of its heads are rounded, and its thin skin is covered with short brown fur. It has two small black eyes and a large roundish pink nose on each head. Interestingly, to date, no one has ever seen the entire body of a Dugtrio or its unevolved form Diglett. If seen above ground, it usually only sticks its body out of the ground about 2 feet, 4 inches (0.7m). Therefore it is impossible to know Dugtrio's true size. Some believe it has legs that it uses to dig, while others believe it is limbless and instead burrows like a worm or snake. Mole may mean: Mole (animal), a small burrowing mammal Mole (espionage), a spy working under deep cover Mole (sauce), a Mexican sauce made from chile peppers and other spices, including chocolate Mole (skin marking), a small spot of darkened pigment on the skin Mole (unit) is the SI unit for...

Biology

Dugtrio is unusual in that, like Magneton, it is simply three members of its pre-evolutionary species, Diglett, irreversibly joined. The three heads actually split from one Diglett during evolution, so all three think exactly alike. Working together, the three heads allow Dugtrio to dig down to 60 miles (97 km) below sea level, where the soil and rock is very hard. While doing this, Dugtrio is able to trigger earthquakes. Magneton is Pokémon #082 in the Pokédex. ... Diglett (ディグダ / Digda in Japanese, Digda in German and Taupiqueur in French) is a fictional species of the Pokémon franchise. ...
