LC Alolan Diglett

Diglett-Alola @ Life Orb
Ability: Tangling Hair
Level: 5
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 36 HP / 236 Atk / 196 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Rock Blast
- Sucker Punch

While it looks cute, the Mole Pokemon packs a serious punch in LC! Thanks to its great Speed tier, Alolan Diglett outspeeds the majority of the unboosted metagame, bar Hisuian Voltorb. Iron Head hits Pokemon that resist Earthquake, such as Toedscool. Rock Blast allows Alolan Diglett to deal a large amount of damage to or OHKO common threats such as Vullaby and Wattrel. Sucker Punch gives Alolan Diglett a way to revenge kill faster Choice Scarf Pokemon such as Gothita or weakened sweepers like Shellder. Life Orb allows Alolan Diglett to OHKO threats it normally could not, such as Tinkatink, as well as guaranteeing a 2HKO on Hisuian Voltorb and Mienfoo. Tera Ground makes Alolan Diglett's STAB Earthquake more spammable and more potent. Due to Alolan Diglett's relative frailty, if it cannot OHKO a foe, it will most likely be OHKOed back. As such, Knock Off users such as Mienfoo, Tinkatink, and Stunky that can remove Eviolite and chip threats such as Toedscool are good partners. Likewise, U-turn users such as Vullaby and Mienfoo invite Pokemon Alolan Diglett directly threatens such as Glimmet and Tinkatink. Vullaby is an especially notable partner, as it can threaten Pokemon that give Alolan Diglett problems, such as Foongus and Timburr.

[Éric]

nothing worng but i think id add uturn partners like vull bc it invites tink and glimm in, which is basically a free kill

 

[Berks]

quick add to what Eric said as well, Vullaby also really threatens stuff like Foong and Timb that are problematic for Dig-A, so the U-turn stuff isn’t their only good synergy.

Also, quick note to save GP the trouble, Hisuian is correct and Husuian isn’t. Let us know when you’ve implemented for a quick once over
