Wiglett Best Moveset
Water at 55 Attack and 95 Speed. 10 HP is the lowest in the format. Any hit that connects ends the game regardless of damage. The moveset goes fast and dies immediately. Evolve to Wugtrio for 100 Attack and 120 Speed, though the bulk barely improves.
Wiglett was a niche pick at best in Gen IX (Scarlet & Violet / Legends Z-A), rarely seen in standard play. This was Wiglett's competitive peak. Its most popular set ran Gooey with Brightpowder, favoring a Calm nature.

Shiny Wiglett
Wiglett's shiny makes the garden eel a slightly more washed-out white that blends into sandy backgrounds. When your entire design is a thin white tube poking out of the ground, color shifts have almost no canvas to work with. You'd miss this one without the sparkle animation.

Base Stats
Wiglett's all-in on Speed at the expense of HP. The mixed lean is obvious from the bars. Yields 1 Speed EV and follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Though it looks like Diglett, Wiglett is an entirely different species. The resemblance seems to be a coincidental result of environmental adaptation.
