'''Dugtrio''' is the evolved form of [[Diglett]] from the first generation Pokémon games. It is actually three Diglett triplets working together.

=Information=

A Dugtrio evolves from a normal Diglett at Level 26. Dugtrio are Diglett triplets that originally split from the same body. They all think alike, which causes them to cooperative and work perfectly together as a team. They bob their heads separately to loosen the soil nearby and make it easier for them to burrow. They can dig through even the hardest ground and burrow up to sixty miles below sea level, which sometimes causes actual earthquakes.

As with its pre-evolved form, no one quite knows what a Dugtrio is like underground. They usually attack by digging underground and surprising its foe with an attack from an unexpected direction.
