Small personal victory here: For a Pokemon that is based upon the game of wackamole, I've wanted Dugtrio to learn Ally Switch for so long... Now it does. Can't wait for the full Doubles Diglett teams spamming Switch, Protect, and Dig.
More seriously, Dugtrio doesn't come off too bad here. Loss of Pursuit hurts, but Dugtrio has been given access to boosting moves, including Work Up which was hoarded by the golden boys last gen and is more reliable than Screech. Agility is there to outspeed Scarf revenge killers. High Horsepower finally gives Dugtrio a single target Earthquake for Doubles. The only mystery is... how?????
