What do the attacks on Diglett 55 cost, and what do they hit for?

Every attack printed on the card, with the Energy it asks for.

Diglett 55 — every printed attack, its cost and its damage
Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Dig Through	1 Fighting + 1 Colorless	2	—	—	This attack does 30 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Retreating costs a further 1 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

Dig Through2 Energy cards

The Energy this attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

What Diglett 55 does without attacking

Diglett 55 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Why this sits apart from the attacks

An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.

What does being a Fighting card do for Diglett 55?

What knocks out Diglett 55 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 1,853 cards in the archive that can remove Diglett 55 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 20 printed damage against a bar of 20. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

What is Diglett as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Diglett 55 is one print of Diglett. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

Diglett has been printed 29 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

What has to be in play before Diglett 55 can be?

Diglett evolves from an earlier stage, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

It is not the end of the line either — Dugtrio evolves from this card, so a deck can keep going past it.
The line runs 2 stages, so the first card has to be in play 1 turn before this one can be.
Every print in the line shares Pokédex number 050.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (90 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Is this the strongest Diglett print, and can the older ones still be played?

29 prints carry this name in the archive. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (60 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

4 of the 29 prints listed here are legal in Standard play. An older print of the same Pokémon is a different card for legality, because legality is read from the print rather than from the name — so owning the cheap old copy does not always mean you can enter with it.

Diglett 55 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Diglett 55?

Diglett 55 has 40 HP and a Grass weakness at ×2, so a Grass attack printed at 20 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 40.

What is the retreat cost of Diglett 55?

1 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

Can an older Diglett print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 29 prints listed on this page, 4 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

Can Diglett 55 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Expanded play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Diglett 55 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
