What happens when three heads share a body? Pokémon's Dugtrio answers that question in all its cuteness. This mole lad is technically one entity, although it looks like three Digletts put together. Its Alolan form has some swanky hair, too. You can find out more about both forms of Dugtrio in this guide.
We suggest grabbing some Pokémon Go codes or Pokémon TCG Pocket codes if you want to guarantee Dugtrio's presence in your Pokédex, but you can chance it if you want. It's your funeral.
