** Despite not being a starter itself, to the Mudkip line, especially Annihilape and Swampert. Both have amazing typing, great stats (Annihilape and Swampert even share the same BST) and an incredable movepool, both natural and TM based. However, Swampert slightly better defensive stats and typing (only being weak to grass, and uncommon attacking type), while Annihilape is better suited for offense (Ghost is only defensively handled by Normal and Dark types, which Fighting destroy).

* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Assuming it wasn't a case of OffModel, the line's shiny counterparts are different in Gen II; shiny Ponyta has brownish-grey colored flames, whereas shiny Rapidash has lavender colored flames. From Gen III onwards, shiny Ponyta has blue colored flames while shiny Rapidash has silver colored flames. Interestingly, shiny Rapidash goes back to having lavender flames in ''Legends'', likely as a MythologyGag.

* InASingleBound: Ponyta is said to be so fast, it can jump over France's Eiffel Tower and Australia's Ayers' Rock in one leap -- or so their 'dex entries say. This explains why they learn the move Bounce in the later Generations.

A furry, purple bug-like creature with highly-developed eyes that evolves into a moth with poisonous scales. They are nocturnal but are instinctively attracted to light. The Pokémon are kinda unremarkable, apart from being a better choice as a Bug Pokémon than Beedrill or Butterfree, except that it comes ''far'' later than both of them.

Based on Whack-a-Moles, these are probably tied with Voltorb and Magnemite for the Pokémon with the simplest design. Diglett appears to be only a half-buried brown nub with a bright red nose. Dugtrio appears to be no different, except that it's three of them. While most Ground-types tend to be tanks, these guys are lighting-fast, but can't take a hit well. It also has the ability to trap land-based opponents.

In the Alola region, the volcanic environment they live in makes it hard for Diglett to find places to hide, so they developed metallic whiskers on top of their head to act as sensors so that Diglett doesn't have to expose itself above ground. As it evolves into a Dugtrio, their whiskers grow into marvelous gold hair. Because of how beneficial Diglett and Dugtrio are in regards to agriculture, the latter is held in great regard as being the incarnation of the god of land.

* ConvenientWeaknessPlacement: Can't defeat Lt. Surge because his Raichu is mopping the floor with your Squirtle? Don't worry; just go to the nearby Diglett's Cave and catch a Diglett (or a Dugtrio should one happen to crop up), then proceed to destroy Surge with a well-placed Dig.
* DevelopersForesight: Game Freak ''really'' goes out of their way to ensure that the bottom half of Diglett and Dugtrio are never seen leaving the ground, to the point of giving them special animations for when any other Pokémon uses a non-animated hop (Pokéathlon, Poké Transfer) or just appear in mid-air like being sent into battle. When you normally send a Pokémon into battle, they'll fall from the Poké Ball and onto the ground, but Diglett and Dugtrio will just materialize on the ground immediately. The move Telekinesis (a move which involves lifting the opponent into the air) fails when used on them. The ground that conceals the bottom half of their body even follows them into the sky [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HmMPQX7uJ8 when they use a Flying-type Z-move!]]

* InformedSpecies: They're classified as the Mole Pokémon but much more closely resemble Whack-a-Moles in both appearance and behavior (going straight up and down their holes). Despite this they can still learn scratching moves you would associate with actual burrowing animals, but no one's ever seen their claws.
* InvisibleAnatomy: Diglett and Dugtrio don't appear to have any arms or legs but they're perfectly capable of using many attacks that involve claws, such as Scratch, Slash or even Aerial Ace.

* RiddleForTheAges: We will likely never see what the rest of Diglett or Dugtrio's body looks like. They have claws, that is obvious from their movepool (Scratch, Slash, Shadow Claw, etc), in the anime, a Diglett is small enough to fit inside of a man's hat, and in ''Mystery Dungeon'' a Diglett mentions it has feet, but that's all the clues we've been given.

** Alolan Diglett and Dugtrio have an ability unique to it known as Tangling Hair, which lowers the speed of opponents who attack it with a contact move (similar to Goomy's Gooey ability). However, due to having low HP and defenses, they can't really stand up to repeated attacks to make full use of this ability.

* SpoiledBrat: The Alolan line is known for being very spoiled and unpleasant because of how the line was treated in ancient Alola - fittingly, it's a Dark-type due to its resultant bad attitude.

Sea". Tentacruel is also one of the few species Professor Laventon advises caution with in its ''Legends: Arceus'' Pokédex entry:
-->'''''Legends: Arceus'' Pokédex entry:''' ''"It has 80 tentacles, each with a venomous tip. These tentacles are also extendible, lengthening when Tentacruel attempts to catch prey. Use caution."''
* GrowingUpSucks: A minor example in the Tentacruel's ''Sun'' Pokédex entry; as it grows older, it loses its tentacles.

* TheArtifact: Fitting its amorphous, toxic body, Muk's movepool is filled with sludge-based Poison attacks. This was fine for the first three generations as all Poison moves were physical and Muk had an good Attack stat. Unfortunately, Gen IV introduced the Physical/Special split which reclassified these as special moves. Meaning that most of Muk's natural movepool now ran off its terrible Special Attack. Most Pokemon in this situation were given updated moves and/or stats to adjust. Muk wasn't so lucky. Alolan Muk gained an appropriately physical movepool when it was introduced, but its Kantonian counterpart is stuck with a thematically appropriate, but distinctly outdated set of level-up moves

* TheArtifact: Muk's movepool is filled with appropriate sludge-based Poison attacks. This was fine for the first three generations as all Poison moves were physical, working well with Muk's good Attack. Unfortunately, Gen IV's revised Physical/Special split reclassified these as special moves. Which meant that most of Muk's natural movepool now runs off its terrible Special Attack. Other Pokemon in this situation would be given updated moves and/or stats to adjust, but Muk didn't, leaving it stuck with its mismatched moves and stats. Alolan Muk gained an appropriately physical movepool when it was introduced, but its Kantonian counterpart remains stuck.

* OneHitKill: The line could learn Fissure by TM in Generation I. However, it isn't possible to have a Machamp with No Guard and Fissure because Pokémon transferred from the Generation I Virtual Console games always have their Hidden Abilities, which can't be changed. Hidden Abilities are able to be changed to regular ones from Scarlet & Violet onward... if Machop and its pre-evolutions were able to be transferred into it. [[note]]And even then, it's highly likely Pokémon HOME's move-deletion system would make it able to bring Fissure over.[[/note]]

* MagikarpPower: Growlithe has average stats for an un-evolved Pokémon, but when you evolve it, Arcanine's base stats are far above average, beaten only by legendaries, pseudo-legendaries, and Mega Evolutions (and three Pokémon with detrimental abilities hampering their usefulness)[[note]]Slaking has stats on par with Kyogre and Groudon, but its Truant ability prevents it from attacking every other turn. Archeops is only ''slightly'' stronger than Arcanine overall, but plays the role of ultimate GlassCannon by having poor defenses and HP and an ability that halves its potent offensive stats when its HP drops below 50%, and Wishiwashi, with Schooling allowing it to become a Mighty Glacier with attack stats comparable to legendaries and megas, but reverting back to the weakest Pokémon stat-wise after dropping to 25% HP[[/note]].

** Dodrio's ''Violet'' Dex entry says that it can't run as fast as Doduo, though it can run for longer stretches of time. Of course, being Doduo's evolved form, it has a much higher Speed stat in-game.

Unneeded note as it is already stated they learn only one recoil move.


* UselessUsefulSpell: Their Rock Head ability. The only recoil-inducing move it learns is Double-Edge, which is pointless to let Golem learn, as it can do more damage with a STAB-boosted Earthquake or Stone Edge [[note]]the line also can't learn Head Smash which would have made the ability far more useful[[/note]]. The Alolan forms could have gotten more use out of it with STAB Wild Charge, but they don't have access to the ability — they get Magnet Pull instead [[note]]while not useless as it can trap and eliminate opposing Steel types with Earthquake or STAB Thunder Punch.[[/note]]
