**To use Diglett effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Ground type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Diglett 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 Diglett fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Sand Veil, Focus Sash and Jolly 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Endeavor, Fissure, Protect, Rock Tomb, Helping Hand, and Memento. 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, Diglett has important weaknesses to 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, Whimsicott, Annihilape, Torkoal, and Tyranitar appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
