About

Diggersby^[1] (Japanese: ホルード ) is a Normal/Ground-type Pokémon that has the appearance of a large rabbit. Evolving from Bunnelby^[2] at Level 20, this Pokémon is often scoffed at for being very ugly and useless.^[3][4]

Origin

Diggersby was first introduced in Pokémon X and Y, which were released worldwide in 2013.^[5] The phrase "Diggersby Tho" comes from a stream on YouTube by shofu^[6], shown below.

The phrase is often considered to be a forced meme ^[4], due to the fact that it is often spammed on forums. As of August 28, 2014, Diggersby Tho has 3 separate Facebook communities, ^[7][8][9], and 1 Twitter account^[10].
