History

Diggersby is the evolved form of Bunnelby, a Normal/Ground-type rabbit Pokémon introduced in Generation VI (Kalos). It uses its large ears like a pair of shovels or excavators, with enough strength to move heavy boulders, making it valued at construction sites. The flavor text highlights its insulating belly fur, which people once gathered after it was shed to make warm winter clothing, underscoring its connection to human daily life.

Name & meaning

The Japanese name ホルード (Horūdo) is generally understood to combine 掘る (horu, "to dig") with a sound suggestive of "lord" or "hard"/"horde," fitting its burrowing nature and large rabbit-like ears used as tools. The English name 'Diggersby' blends 'digger' (reflecting its digging behavior and Category, the Digging Pokémon) with a suffix evoking a rustic, hare-like name; it may also nod to the British dialectal feel of names ending in '-by.' Both names emphasize its identity as a powerful excavator.
