The pokemon was shown on the beaches of Paldea and will appear in the upcoming Pokémon games, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

It is a long worm-like Pokémon that has the same small black eyes and round pink nose as Gen 1 Pokémon Diglett.

Diglett already has an alternative shape, the Alolan shape, which is of the Steel/Ground type.

While it shares a face and comes out of the ground just like Diglett, the announcement confirmed that it’s not an alternate form to the Mole Pokemon.

Instead, it’s a whole new kind of Pokémon is introduced for the Paldea region.

The announcement reads: “This Pokémon that lives on the beach or in the sea of ​​the Paldea region would be Wiglett.

“Although they appeared to be a Paldean form of Diglett, we learned that they live and eat differently, as if they were a completely different Pokémon.

“According to the research, it is said that it is a coincidence that they have similar bodies, as they both burrow into the ground and the sand.”

Wiglett has a white body and can stretch it high above the ground without appearing completely.

The Pokémon Company has not yet updated the official website, but the announcement on the stream indicates that Wiglett will be the official name.

This part of the stream was announced in Japanese with English subtitles, and both announced the name as Wiglett.

The new Pokémon was apparently discovered by Jacq, a new character in the series.

He will be your living room and biology teacher and also develop entries for the new Rotom Pokédex.

This means that the announcement on stream could also be Wiglett’s official Pokédex entry.
