Verdict

Collector's Pick
Diggersby is a Normal/Ground-type Pokemon with base stats of 112/155/198 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 1,706. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Diggersby may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Shadow vs Regular: Shadow Diggersby deals 20% more damage but takes ~20% more. For raids, Shadow is generally the better investment. For PvP, evaluate matchups carefully — the bulk loss can be significant.

What are Diggersby's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?

What is Diggersby's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Diggersby's maximum CP is 1,706 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 1,509 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Diggersby's CP is calculated from its base stats: 112 Attack, 155 Defense, and 198 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully.

What CP is a 100% IV Diggersby?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Diggersby has the following CP at key levels: 646 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 862 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 1,078 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 1,706 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Diggersby, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Diggersby ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
