Its Water + Diglett, with a bit of "wiggle" to add flavor. Think of it as what we used to call Oshawott, Wotter.With this official reveal, we now have the French and German names of Wiglett, so I thought of having a look:
Diglett in French is Taupiqueur, a blend of taupe (mole) and piqueur (miner), whereas Wiglett's French name, Taupikeau is a combination of Taupiqueaur and eau (water). Both have really close pronunciations.
In German, we have Digda for Diglett (same as the Japanese name) and Schligda for Wiglett (from Schlick, meaning silt/mud, and Digda).
Tbh I'm a bit disappointed with the English name. It seems to be a misnomer, that is more appropriate for wig-wearing Alolan Diglett.

Considering it's still "basically diglett", i doubt it'll be anything to tank anything outside of LC.
Its evo however, well that's up to anyone's guess. Could be another Dugtrio case of fast and frail (which however could still be very obnoxious with a focus sash to revenge kill or shut down certain setuppers), or could be a bulky water, or honestly literally anything.
can someone please make a day 1 patch removing it

Me listening to Vandalize for the 59th time: "Wow, wouldn't it be neat if Pokemon games got their own vocal themes?"
Ed Sheeran, for some reason:
Pokemon games having some sort of vocal performance? No way!
Wiglett confirmed one of the leaks. But this is not the subject of this discussion.
Let's talk about this garden eel that looks like a sock-puppet popping out of sand.
As someone stated, Rattled is sometimes replaced or paired with abilities that indicate bully behavior or simply is replaced because the pokemon was a baby that evolved strong and big.
I THEORIZE that goey indicates that it can evolve into some tipe of hagfish based pokemon because... Well, hagfishs are goey. There's nothing much to theorize about this. It is not diglett, so it does not needs to evolve like diglett.

Also worth noting on another note, but apparently an Ed Sheeran song is gonna actually be played in the games.
This is a pretty strange and dissonant thing to me, first we have Toby Fox working on music for Pokemon and now this. The idea of a popular celebrity having a song of theirs play in a mainline Pokemon game is something that I can't really fully come to terms with in my head, even though I don't really have a strong opinion on Ed Sheeran one way or another.
Is just a song from a popular singer in a popular video game, is not the first time a video game does that, plenty have opening themes, feature a radio with irl music, or have a character singing in a cutscene.
I have no idea who this guys is tho
It feels like they got someone that had no idea how Pokémon plays to sign the contract and accepted the first offer.
Ed Sheeran is one of the more popular world wide musicians (which must, I presume, include Japan's pop charts) around currently, if you wind up listening to current music you probably wind up hearing at least one of his songs.
It's not unusual for video games as a whole, but it is unusual for Nintendo titles in general, which generally opt for original songs pertaining to the game (& prrrrrobably not made by a "known" singer), where as this is Pokemon just...putting a pop song in their game.
It's not bad, per say, though I'm not a fan of this song or Sheeran in general, just kinda...weird?
e: honestly if you were to ask me if they'd ever do it, i'd say "ehhh probably not" followed by "but maybe a japanese artist, i guess?"
As a person who still gets hype seeing the swsh trailer that revealed Dynamax, im glad GF is putting more emphasis on vocal tracks.
Say what you want about gen 8 overall, but dont lie and say this trailet wasnt dripling with adrenline. Not to mention the best tracks in SWSH had vocals in the form of crowd chants and howling wolves.

Apparently Ed Sheeran is a long time fan and he did a GO collaboration last year and had a video at Worlds as well, so there was some buildup to it.
You know I had just sort of assumed that Sheeran was on the Pokemon 25th anniversary album they put out last year but turns out no, he wasn't. Guess they were saving all that energy for this.
So like is he also going to get a personalized (and not playable) TCG Promo like Katy Perry, Post Malone and J Balvin. I mean he got to get his song played in the game give him a card too imo

NOT THE ED SHEERAN SAKUGA
Who is Ed Sheeran?
Popular singer. About as far as I can go without giving a biased opinion from someone who can't stand him (hes on wikipedia though if you want more info)
Why does Ed Sheeran just reminds me of the smell of cheese?
Many other RPGs, e.g., the Tales series, have vocal themes as well, except it's usually J-Pop.
Brand New World Gang, howl!

Are those vocal tracks done my mainstream artists or more of a games music composer?
It would be cool to have vocal tracks in mainline games, but for important moments like Champion fight or all your friends coming to help you.
Based on the tone of the Ed Sheeran song, seems like it will be played as the intro or end credits.
One that comes to mind is "BURN", the theme song of Tales of Berseria, sung by FLOW, probably best known for singing the first and last openings of Code Geass.
Here's a live performance of this song:
So what will the evolution be called? Wigtrio? Wettrio? Wugtrio?
Or maybe it won't have an evolution but I am assuming it will.
Also what is it with some Pokemon having multiple regional variants. Meowth has two. Diglett now has two. Why not another Pokemon type for a change?
My guess is that it’ll have some twist where it doesn’t look like Dugtrio at all. Which would help show that this isn’t a regional form.
