Stats & Training
Dugtrio's all-in on Speed at the expense of HP. The physical lean is obvious from the bars. Yields 2 Speed EVs and follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
In battle, it digs through the ground and strikes the unsuspecting foe from an unexpected direction.
Extremely powerful, they can dig through even the hardest ground to a depth of over 60 miles.
Dugtrio Weakness
Dugtrio's Ground typing leaves it vulnerable to Water, Grass, and Ice. It shrugs off Electric-type attacks completely. At base 120 Speed, Dugtrio outspeeds most threats and doesn't need to tank what it can outrun.

Dugtrio Guide
For X & Y, it depends on your team. Dugtrio at 405 BST isn't a powerhouse, but the Ground coverage might be exactly what you're missing.
In X & Y, Dugtrio has a 405 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in X & Y's meta. It works best as a pivot. Earthquake with Focus Sash is the standard set.
Sand Veil increases evasion to 1.25× during a sandstorm. That's the one you want on Dugtrio. Sand Force is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Arena Trap works too if your team needs something different.
Game Availability
Dugtrio first appeared in Red & Blue and spans 20 games across 10 generations. It later gained an Alolan form in Generation 7, adding new dimensions to its competitive identity.
