In-Depth Analysis

With a base stat total of 425, Dugtrio plays as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Its standout stat is Speed at 120, while HP (35) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.

Defensively, the Ground combination gives Dugtrio 2 resistances, 1 immunity, and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 5 types with super-effective STAB coverage.

A low catch rate of 50 makes Dugtrio a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Speed +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
