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].
