GIGADRILL

GIGADRILL
The Subterranean Pokémon

Type: Bug/Ground
Ability:
- Gluttony
- Detritivore - This Pokémon restores health when hit by a Ground- Type move. It also restores health when it goes underground (e.g. on the first turn of Dig)
- (Sand Rush)
Info: When Wormine evolves into Gigadrill, its teeth become too long to fit inside its mouth. Thus, its long teeth protrude outward, helping it eat through the earth. It often clamps its teeth together and rotates its body, turning itself into a huge drill which can torpedo its way through the underground. Their drilling carves vast networks of tunnels in the earth, which can stretch for miles. It has to eat through tons upon tons of soil each day in order to replenish its body with sufficient nutrients.
