Diggersby (Japanese: ホルード, Hepburn: Horuudo) (DIH-gurz-bee) is a Normal/Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

Biology

Physiology

Diggersby is a large bipedal rabbit-like Pokémon. It has a bulky, muscular build, with a round paunchy belly. Its fur is mainly gray in color, with brown patches (resembling splotches of mud) on the tips of its ears, its feet, its muzzle, and its belly. It has a round face with brown whiskers on its cheeks, a pink triangular nose, and squinted white eyes and a toothy grin. Its large white rabbit-like incisors protrude from beneath its upper jaw. Diggersby has extraordinarily long, powerful ears with brown-tipped claw-like digits on the ends; its ears actually function as extremely powerful arms, which it uses to excavate, lift heavy objects, and battle with. Due to its arm-like ears, Diggersby rarely uses its arms, which are quite slim, with small white tipped paws. It has a woolly mass of brown and yellow striped fur around its belly, which it tucks its small paws into.

Behavior

Diggersby is a helpful Pokémon; they commonly assist construction workers using their extraordinary excavation skills.They are often seen alongside Gurdurr and Conkeldurr in urban construction zones, destroying old structures and boulders to make room for the other Pokémon to build. Though they are industrious workers, Diggersby also seem to know the value of leisure as well; they can often be seen lounging around on long breaks after finishing their duties. In the wild, Diggersby build their burrows underground or in rocky mountainsides.

Forests, fields, mountains, rocky areas are the areas Diggersby live in.

Special abilities

Diggersby's ears have incredible strength, allowing it to lift extremely heavy objects and excavate with great expertise. With its digging ears, It can reduce bedrock to rubble and lift boulders weighing more than a ton.

Evolution

Diggersby evolves from Bunnelby at level 20.

Trivia

• Diggersby has horizontal pupils, unlike real rabbits which have round pupils.

Origin

Diggersby is based on a rabbit. Its ears and habit of digging with them may be based on excavator machines. It may also be based on a construction worker as its muzzle resembles a beard, its abdominal fur resembles a belt, and it is often seen around construction sites. Its abdominal fur also resembles an old style haramaki, a type of Japanese clothing that covers the stomach. Its ground type and rabbit inspiration as well as it being primarily gray in color may make it a play on a "dust bunny", a common nickname for clumped dust and lint.

Etymology

Diggersby comes from digger and bunny.
