Wiglett was first revealed during a fictional presentation by the “World Pokémon Ecologial Society” on the 28th September 2022. The presentation was only broadcast in Japanese as part of a microsite on the official Japanese Pokémon site.

It has a similar appearance to Diglett, but lives in the beaches and seas of the Paldea Region, and is in fact a totally separate species. It has a long body that it extends out of the ground that makes it look somewhat like a Razor Clam.

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.

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.​
