    Diggersby tho?


    Lets talk about that.

    So it's not often that we see a beginner capture Pokémon become a brute force in competitive battling. Especially Bunnelby. Who would have thought it'd turn into this bad-ass monster of a Pokémon. Diggersby tho? Diggersby tho.

    In my honest opinion, he should be OU instead of BL.
    ...And his attack is so higggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh.
    Diggersby is like, a rabbit God man.
    I'm surprised to not see him on more Lake Valorian's teams.

    Here's a common set of his:

    Diggersby @ Choice Scarf/Life Orb
    Ability: Huge Power
    EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
    Jolly Nature
    - Earthquake
    - Return
    - Knock Off
    - U-turn

    Even going against a Mega-Lopunny he still stands a chance.

    (With Choice Scarf) 252+ Atk Huge Power Diggersby Return vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Lopunny: 247-292 (91.1 - 107.7%) -- 50% chance to OHKO
    (With Life Orb) 252+ Atk Life Orb Huge Power Diggersby Return vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Lopunny: 321-380 (118.4 - 140.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

    ......Scary man.
    Especially since Mega-Lopunny is in the meta right now.
    Lopunny's High Jump Kick can't OHKO him by any means.

    "His hands are EARS!" I love that video lmao, I have it faved.

    I've wanted to use this guy ever since haha. I just don't know what to also put on the team since I'm not the best at team building (though I'm slowly getting better).

    Of course he's a monster, just look at those EARS!! xD

    I remember when that vid first cam out. It's funny every time.

    But yea, Diggersby became a huge asset in the OU metagame, and I was very surprised. I never thought it was gonna rise above UU due to it's typing, but Diggersby has proved me wrong. I would definitely not want to be the guy up against those ears.

    Seems like a good Pokémon, but...His design kills me.
    Whhhhyyyyy...

    The hand-ear thing is pretty cool, though.

    Diggersby is so good. Used him in 2014 VGC (perfect counter to M-Gengar).
    Now that he gets Knock Off, he really is a deadly force to be reckoned with. A very fun Poke to use in general.

    I've considered using Diggerby before because the attack power + Earthquake/Return is great, though ultimately I go for Excadrill because I think Exca is more versatile.

    At first, I didn't like Diggersby at first, but then, I received it in wonder trade, and it was 5IV. I looked at the moves, and it was perfect for competitive battling! So, I bonded with it, and now use it often.I usually have a move set similar to this when using it.

    I have never used Diggersby before, but i'm surprised it went up to BL in the first place.

    I thought it was going to be on BL2 thanks to its typing and poor speed. I guess this Pokémon showed me.

    I mean it's Diggersby tho.

    He might be slow, sure. But that POWER.
    He had to lack in some department somewhere in order to make up for those massive punches from those big ass ear hands.
    XD
