Stats & Training
Wiglett's all-in on Speed at the expense of HP. The mixed lean is obvious from the bars. Yields 1 Speed EV and follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
This Pokémon can pick up the scent of a Veluza just over 65 feet away and will hide itself in the sand.
Though it looks like Diglett, Wiglett is an entirely different species. The resemblance seems to be a coincidental result of environmental adaptation.
