During the World Pokemon Ecology Society Webinar where the Pokemon Company had held a special showcase that featured various details of the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Violet games, among one of the clips showed a new regional Diglett form – Wiglett and fans are loving it.
From the information that we could gather from the Webinar, this new regional Diglett form is called Wiglett and it is the new evolved form of it. Instead of evolving into the triplets of Dugtrio that we all know of, this new form adapts to a marine environment and is said have a different type than its normal and Alolan counterparts.
After its reveal, fans were quick to jump on the bandwagon by making fanart as well as memes of Wiglett, expressing their excitement of this new regional variant.
