Sporting all-around stats, Diggersby is a jack of all trades that specializes in Attack-based moves. Players may be hesitant to use Diggersby because of its Ground/Normal-typing, which leaves it vulnerable to Fighting-type and the more common Water and Grass-type. Luckily, Pokemon GO gives Diggersby Grass-type coverage through its Charged Move: Fire Punch. Therefore, catching and evolving a Bunnelby may be worth the time.

How to Get Diggersby in Pokemon GO

Diggersby can’t be caught in the wild or hatched from Eggs. If players want Diggersby, they will need to get Bunnelby first.

Bunnelby debuted in Pokemon GO’s Kalos Celebration Event on December 2nd, 2020 alongside other Kalos Pokemon including the Kalos Starters.

There are different ways to catch Bunnelby:

Catch in the wild Raid battles Hatch from 2km Eggs; more likely to hatch during 9/1/2021 - 11/30/2021 Kalos Celebration Event: Catch 3 Normal-type Pokémon October 2021 Field Research: Earn 2 Candies walking with Buddy Pokemon

Bunnelby has a 50% catch rate and a 10% Flee Rate. Hence, it may not be necessary to use Razz Berries to prevent it from fleeing.

Since Bunnelbys are more likely to hatch from now until the end of November, players can try their luck with the 2km Eggs. However, Eggs are always randomized, and if Bunnelby’s looking to evolve, it might be easier to rack up Candy by catching multiple Bunnelby in the wild instead.

Evolving Bunnelby

Diggersby needs 50 Candy to evolve, which is a low amount compared to other Pokemon such as Milotic or Gyarados. Each time a Pokemon is caught, the player also receives 3 Candy of the Pokemon Species. Meaning 1 Bunnelby will reward the player 3 Candy. Search for Bunnelby spawn locations or Pokemon nests to make this easier.

Something else to do while catching Bunnelby is to use Pinap Berries during capture. These will double the amount of Candy if the next Catch is successful.

With Eggs, each 2km Egg hatched will give 10 Candy. Meaning the player will only need to hatch 5 Bunnelby to get the required amount for Diggersby

Players can also set Bunnelby as their Buddy, as Buddy Pokemon will give Candy after a certain amount of distance has been walked.

Pokemon GO is available now on mobile devices.
