How to find Wiglett in Pokémon Go

As part of the biome update for Pokémon Go, Wiglett has made its debut. For those wanting this special Pokémon — who is not a regional form of Diglett, but rather its own thing — we have you covered.

Wiglett spawns in beach biomes, but understanding what qualifies as a beach biome is where things get a little murky. Players on Reddit have reported Wiglett to also spawn around lakes, meaning it’s likely that the wiggly worm just spawns around bodies of water. Since these biomes are so new, it’s a little hard to say whether or not this is 100% intentional or if all bodies of water qualify as a “beach” biome. We’ll update this guide as more information comes in.

As for right now, it’s best to check your radar as you approach bodies of water to see if Wiglett is around. Its long silhouette is unmistakable, so it should be easy to find among any other unseen Pokémon. You’ll also definitely want to keep an eye out if the area you’re in around water has a beachy biome aesthetic.

Wiglett originally made its debut in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, as what people thought was a Diglett regional variant, but it was quickly made clear that Wiglett is its own thing, not an evolutionary wonder.
