Diglett [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This 1st Edition Diglett is part of the original 102-card Base Set, the first English Pokémon TCG expansion, and its early print run is marked by the iconic 'Edition 1' stamp that collectors instantly recognize.
Artist
Diglett #47 was illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi, and its simple underground pose perfectly matches the card’s flavor text about living beneath the surface and only sometimes appearing above ground.
In-Game
Diglett is one of the original Generation I Pokémon, debuting in Pokémon Red and Blue, which gives this Base Set card a direct link to the franchise’s very first wave of monster designs.
Card History
Diglett had a memorable early anime spotlight in 'Dig Those Diglett!,' episode 31 of the Pokémon animated series, helping make the species feel especially familiar to fans who grew up with the Indigo League.
Cultural Impact
Pokémon designer Shigeki Morimoto said he originally created Diglett’s design as a child, giving this humble Base Set common an unexpectedly personal origin story from one of the franchise’s early creators.
