It’s because discussion of leaks would just lead to people going off topic and people discussing things that could be made up.

Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet - 18th Nov 2022! **OFFICIAL INFO ONLY**
- Thread starter DHR-107
- Start date
It’s amazing that a bold and all caps title saying “Official Info Only” is ambiguous. Sometimes in life places have rules that you have to follow, even if they don’t make sense to you personally. This is a good time to follow those rules unless you don’t want to be able to talk about the new games here at all.
Can you mfs shut up about khu and make a discord group for the leaks or something.
Anyways wiglett. I hope wigtrio (or whatever the official name is) looks more eel-y. Maybe some small fins, it'd be really cute. Just dugtrio but white would be worse than just diglett with wigs (though the wigs are so stupid it endears me)

Meet in between and give them head fins that look lile a mohawk
Monster Hunter twitter posted a reaction to Wiglett.
If I wanted to discuss stuff on Discord, I'd do so. I'm on a forum, so clearly, I want to discuss things on a forum and not an IRC client with pretensions.
Wiglett is cool. It'll be interesting to see what they do for the evo. The obvious thing is 3x it, but with convergent evolution, it would make a lot of sense if the evo is completely different from Dugtrio since they're not actually related.
That said, there's usually a BUNCH of good water-type mons, so Wiglett has to really deliver to earn a teamslot.
Guys we are missing the obvious here
The introduction of convergent species makes it possible for us to have a Pikachu convergent officially called Pikablu

Isn't that just Marill?
That's the joke. Also, remember when there were rumours of a blue Pikachu in the Detective Pikachu game?
No. It's red normally and blue when Shiny. (Until the 3D era where colors are desaturated to the point Diglett's nose looks pink.)
Someone has a height complex.

Is it me, or they changed Diglett's cry?
Also, no Arena Trap according to the website.

The games modulate the cries a little to add variation depending on the emotion being shown; it's typically only shown in pokemonamie/refresh/camp but you'll hear it out on the field osmetimes in LA and i think some of the wild areas.
It's slightly different at the start of the trailer when its skidish and hiding, but plays the normal cry when it appears to be talking with Wiglett
That's an interesting selection of abilities. Notably, Rattled tends to "not stick" when a pokemon evolves, generally becoming "aggressive" abilities like Intimidate or Moxie, so I wonder if the evolution of Wiglett (assuming there's one, but I'm like 99.9% sure there will be) will actually be an aggressive looking pokemon as well.
Also interestingly enough, depending on the evolution stat, it could be a pretty interesting option competitively, since both Gooey and Rattled are basically speed control tools, and many contact-based sweepers and breakers could have their sweep interrupted istantly by a -1 in speed.
In other (late) news, Best Buy is giving out a set of berries as their exclusive preorder bonus.

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.

It's just a pun on "wiggle" + "diglett".It seems to be a misnomer, that is more appropriate for wig-wearing Alolan Diglett.
That's really it. Nothing else.
(Also I love it)
I actually think it's more than just Wiggly Diglett, even though that's the main one. It's also White and lives in the Water.
I mean, this is a completely separate Pokémon. For all we know it could just outright have a higher BST than Diglett.
