Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Wiglett gets new details and trailer

Wiglett was revealed for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet yesterday, and new details about the creature have been revealed along with a trailer.

Wiglett is a Garden Eel Pokemon. Though its appearance may remind some of Diglett, it’s actually a completely different species of Pokemon.

Here’s the full rundown:

Boasting an exceptional sense of smell, Wiglett is able to pick up scents from over 60 feet away. It has a skittish disposition and is constantly cautious of its surroundings. When it notices the scent of other Pokémon, Wiglett burrows into the sand to conceal itself.

Wiglett pokes a part of its body out of the sand to feed in the ocean. It’s still unclear what the rest of its body hidden in the sand is like or how long it might be. It’s said that Wiglett’s resemblance to Diglett might be a mere coincidence—a result of its adaptation to its environment.
