**To use Diggersby effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Normal/Ground type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Diggersby appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Diggersby fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Huge Power, Life Orb and Jolly 1/32/0/0/1/32. Its frequent moves include High Horsepower, Protect, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Ice Punch, and Quick Attack. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Diggersby has important weaknesses to fighting 2x, grass 2x, ice 2x, water 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Farigiraf, Incineroar, Charizard-Mega-Y, Whimsicott, and Staraptor-Mega appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
