Diglett · XY Evolutions, what to know.
About the Diglett card
Diglett is card 55 of 113 in XY Evolutions, released in November 2016, a Common. It is a Basic Fighting-type with 40 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Diglett needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.
Illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi. Kinebuchi contributed a smaller body of Wizards-era cards but is responsible for several memorable holos, with a warm, heavily textured style.
The card's flavor text gives Diglett a line of lore: "It burrows through the ground at a shallow depth. It leaves raised earth in its wake, making it easy to spot."
About Diglett in the Pokémon world
A Ground-type that only shows its head above the soil. Famous for the Diglett tunnel route in Red and Blue. Base Set Common. Cheap, easy to grade.
What is Diglett worth?
Diglett is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Diglett before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Diglett is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Diglett
Raw copies of Diglett are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Diglett is the practical move.
