Dugtrio

() is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It has a /-type Alolan Form introduced in Generation VII.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Dugtrio resembles a congregated trio of Diglett. Although they look the same, the heights are varied. The middle body is the tallest, the left body is the second tallest, and the right body is the shortest. The holes that Dugtrio make are bigger due to the increase in size during its evolution. It's brown and it looks similar to a mole, but with a large, pink nose.
The Alolan form of Dugtrio has developed golden magnetic "hair". The middle body has the longest and curliest hair, while the left body has shorter blond hair and the right body has the shortest and straightest hair. They also have slightly darker body fur.
Both types of Dugtrio have a body, though they do not reveal this to anyone, not even their Trainers.
===Behavior===
Like Diglett, Dugtrio loathe sunlight. As triplets emerging from the same body, they also share the same thought process as each other. Nonetheless, Dugtrio are more aggressive than Diglett, and they'll try all kinds of methods to attack its enemy or opponents who are digging holes underground from all directions. Druddigon is a known predator of it.
Regardless, Dugtrio are very friendly with humans; Kantonian Dugtrio help people with agriculture, while Alolan Dugtrio are worshipped as feminine deities of the land incarnate regardless of gender. It is rumored that any hair picked up from Alolan Dugtrio will give bad luck. Thus, Alolans who see Kantoian Dugtrio will often be shocked by their lack of "hair".
Dugtrio live underground in caves. However, in Pikachu's Rescue Adventure, they live in hollow trees as well.
===Natural abilities===
Dugtrio are capable of burrowing over 60 MPH. This strength to do so sometimes triggers earthquakes or tremors.
Alolan Dugtrio have hair that will keep growing. This "hair" is actually thin yet heavy stands of steel, and can be used to detect nearby seismic activity.
==Evolution==
Dugtrio is the evolved form of Diglett as of level 26.

===Origin===
Dugtrio may be based on a group of moles, more specifically, moles used in the game Whack-A-Mole which have a much more rounded shape and pop in and out of holes similarly to Dugtrio does.
Its Alolan form and it gaining the -type may reference magnetic sand. Along with this, it may be based on the black sand that is found on some beaches. Its hair may also come from Pele's hair, a type of volcanic glass that forms around Hawaiian volcanoes and appears similarly to clumps of hair. Its hair may also be a pun on "hair metal", a style of metal music.
===Etymology===
Dugtrio comes from dug (paste tense for 'dig') and trio.
