Pokemon · Diglett line · last checked 2026-10-20
PokeBonk Dugtrio is a Ground-type Pokemon that you cannot pick at the start of a run: it is the evolved form of Diglett, a League Pokemon. Play Diglett and it evolves into Dugtrio automatically at player level 38, which raises your HP and damage multiplier to 1.12x. Dugtrio keeps the Diglett kit. The line sits in A tier with a Kit Score of 56.5.

How to get Dugtrio in PokeBonk
You do not unlock Dugtrio directly. First unlock Diglett through its League challenge and catch it; the PokeBonk unlock Pokemon guide lists the conditions. Then pick Diglett for a run and level up: evolution in a run depends only on your player level, not on stones or trades, so Dugtrio arrives at level 38.
Each stage adds 0.12 to your HP and damage multiplier, so an evolved form hits harder and takes more hits than the Pokemon you started with. An Eviolite helps until the last stage. See PokeBonk evolution for every line.
Dugtrio moves and passive
Dugtrio uses the same four-move kit as Diglett; evolving does not swap moves. Its passive is Sand Trap: +10 armor. Every 2 s the ground shakes around you (4.5 m): it damages and traps enemies in the sand (root). Like Dugtrio, 6 m.

| 2 | Mud Shot | Ground | Special | Projectile | Level 2 |
| 3 | Tri Attack | Normal | Special | Chain | Level 4 |

Dugtrio Ultimate
The Diglett line uses the Normal default Ultimate, Giga Impact: An enormous shockwave cracks the ground around you; then stars fall.
Dugtrio evolution levels in PokeBonk
In PokeBonk every evolution happens by player level inside a run, whatever the main games ask for. The Diglett line evolves like this: Diglett evolves into Dugtrio at level 38.
Dugtrio stats in runs
The game turns base stats into run stats with the share of each stat in the base stat total, so a balanced Pokemon and a lopsided one end up with different strengths. Each evolution stage adds 0.12 to the HP and damage multiplier. These are the starting values before Lab upgrades, items and vitamins:
| Form | Stage | Max HP | Armor | Speed | Physical | Special | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diglett | 0 | 80 | 6.5 | 1.18x | 1.07x | 0.98x | 1x |
| Dugtrio | 1 | 103 | 7.2 | 1.12x | 1.1x | 0.96x | 1.12x |

Where Dugtrio appears as a boss
Besides being playable, Dugtrio is listed as a boss on the maps: Rocky Desert as a possible zone 1 Summoner and a possible zone 3 Summoner. Boss HP is budgeted from your own damage per second, so the fight length stays close to the game's targets; the PokeBonk maps page lists every boss slot.
