PVP Mode Explanatory Notes

PvP Moveset Explanation
Mud Shot or Quick Attack + Scorching Sands and Hyper Beam

Mud Shot features superior energy generation, letting Diggersby access its charge moves sooner. Quick Attack falls behind in energy gains and offers stronger Normal-type damage, but this is neutral at best and can't be Super Effective vs anything, making it generally inferior. 

Scorching Sands is Diggersby's primary STAB Charged Attack, a reliable, medium cost move that deals respectable damage with a chance to reduce its opponent's Attack. Thanks to Scorching Sands's reliability, Hyper Beam becomes a more viable secondary STAB option to deal very heavy damage to Flying-type Pokemon. Fire Punch can be used to threaten some Pokemon such as Trevenant or Ferrothorn, and is Diggersby's cheapest Charged Attack, but leaves it vulnerable to most Flying-type Pokemon. Earthquake was formerly Diggersby's main Charged Attack but is now generally not worth running over Scorching Sands. Dig is a fairly good move, but is strictly inferior to Scorching Sands.

PvP Rating Explanation
Great League: 4 / 5

Thanks to its enormous bulk and unique type combination, Diggersby finds a role as a reliable corebreaker to various Ghost-, Poison- and Steel-type Pokemon. Common targets include Sableye, Trevenant, Galarian Stunfisk, and Bastiodon, and many teams feature a combination of these Pokemon. Access to Fire Punch lets Diggersby further stand out among other Ground-type Pokemon by providing it with a reliable way of denting Grass-type Pokemon, although it is often not enough to outright win the match up.

Pokemon GO: Adventures Abound further improved Diggersby by granting it a reliable, medium cost Ground-type Charged Attack in Scorching Sands. Diggersby can now more viably run Hyper Beam to threaten the Flying-type targets that have plagued it for so long.

Ultra League: 0 / 5

Diggersby has inadequate stats to compete outside of Great League.

Master League: 0 / 5

Diggersby isn't an Easter Bunny, but it would still give its opponents free wins.
