Not Austin giving us a biology lesson! As a bio teacher, I can confirm that yes you are using the terms correctly! They are not closely related species however evolved similar adaptive traits to fit a similar niche (environment, diet, predators, etc) maybe in the same location or often in similar conditions across in another part of the world. They have “converged” on similar traits.
Thanks Megs. just trying my best here to explain why this pokemon is the way it is. Mainly so people don't immediately go to thinking its a "lazy/ripoff" design. lol
@@AustinJohnPlays fair enough, I get it, and think it’s kind of cool. But at the same time we didn’t really have a need for it. People will complain because of that. Of course as you mentioned, people will probably still complain saying it’s lazy. That’s just how it will go in this community, because most fans are too lazy to look for cool details like this.
@@AustinJohnPlays I actually think it’s kinda cool
looking lol I like derpy Pokémon
@Shin3y I think an argument can be made that the necessity for a pokémon like this would be for educational purposes. Exactly what Austin John is doing right now which is to use the pokémon as a means to teach people about what convergent evolution is. Video games get a lot of flack for taking kids away from studies but video games can be used to teach and this would be a good example.
@@Shin3y I’m actually pretty excited for convergent evolutions in Pokemon, although to be fair we’ve actually had them for a while if not in name. Examples:
Magikarp and Feebas- weak water type that evolves into strong water type
Pikachu and Pachirisu- forest-dwelling electric rodents
Pidgey and Fletchling- small, easy-to-raise flying-types that evolve into birds of prey, have similar habitats
Meowth and Purrloin- feline pokemon that are able to stand upright.
Shinx and Pyroar- apex predators styled after lions and living in prides
We’re just being a little more blatant now.
Can't wait for the evaluation
actually really cool
Super
Very amazing
Ok placut interesant
👍
I hope they add a grass type diglett as well and call it Twiglett
I didn't know I needed this before now
The funniest part about that for me is that Twiglet is a brand of snack.
This is the single best thing I've read all day and I love it
Hahahahahahah
Or one that evolved to drop tasty fruits... Figlett.
I love how Alolan Diglett would've fit the wiglett name way more
TAKE MY DUMB LIKE AND STOP IT
But this one wiggles :/
@@midi5467 but Alolan Diglett had a wig
Wig like hair heheh
That’s be best joke ever
I'm happy that some pokemon are now interacting with the environment and not just standing or roaming.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was some strange fusion of Diglett and Shuckle but I think this is actually really cool now that I know more about it.
Shucklett
Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him. True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. 👍🏾
*God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.*
As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God!
Love how Pokémon is incorporating real life scientific concept more and more:
Regional Variants - Divergent evolution
Now we have Convergent evolution.
What does divergent and convergent means?
To me, it just seems like a lazy way of redesigning old Pokémon and making entirely new ones
@@EliC09 Just like real life then 👍
@@arminarlert1953 in real life, as explained by Austin, Divergent evolution is when a specific specie evolves into multiple different species. Just like how regional variants are presented.
Convergent evolution on the other hand, is when 2 unrelated species evolves similarly in terms of appearance, traits, etc. In the case of Wiglett and Diglett they are totally different specied (one is a fish and the latter is a mole) but they somehow look the same.
@@arminarlert1953 divergent evolution is when two organisms have one common ancestor, but they separated overtime (like going to different places) and changed their forms because they adapted there (for example, the mammoth and elephants in real life). to diverge is something like "to separate". convergent evolution is when two organisms aren't related to each other, but they developed some similar characteristics to one another--like it's coincidental and it may also be due to adapting to their environment (for example, sharks and dolphins). to converge is something like "to come together" or "to merge"
That shark/dolphin and mole analogy made A LOT of sense. I couldn't wrap my head around it NOT being the same type of pokemon as diglett. An eel and a mole definitely isn't the same animal lol.
I like how GameFreak are making Pokemon more Animalistic with Variants & Convergent Evolution. Hopefully we get alot more like this!
And then they go and put those absolutely ridiculous head pieces on them for the new gimmick. Lol
@@trevorreish1676 listen Linda, listen, that can be based on European royalty. Have you SEEN the former queen's crown? Said to be so heavy thanks to all the jewels you couldn't bend your damn head.
@@TheRibottoStudiosI think it still looks ridiculous. Haha
@@trevorreish1676 Don't use it then
So much better than alolan diglett
Its kinda like how every region has a pokemon that is very similar to pikachu but is in fact not a regional form of pikachu.
As a current Bio Major, you are using the term correctly! Convergence is so interesting to study, especially finding out how integral environmental pressures are to evolution!
This idea of convergent evolution is interesting, it would explain things like why we've had a pikachu/raichu looking rodent every gen since 3 too
It's so cool to see convergent evolution shown in pokemon in this way
Literally stole this comment
@@CaptainArvz and the stolen comments always get more likes and the heart lol
@@TheRibottoStudios lol
@@CaptainArvz eh just the way the cookie crumbles on RUclips.

Convergert Evolution: Bats and Birds. Bats are a mammal but evolved wings by skin flaps in order to fly. Birds are a bird, not a mammal, however they evolved to have wings that use feathers and a hollow bone structure so they can fly. Clearly different species but have very similiar adaptions. This was the example that helped me out alot in school.
@K P He said if we knew of other examples of convergent evolution to post in comments. You completely missed the point of his video and my post.
I think it's awesome that the pokemon company are using real life ecology. Wigglet reminds me of a spotted eel.
That’s definitely what it’s based on!
@K P it’s… 100% based on a garden eel. It’s even been confirmed by them if I recall correctly.
As a Palaeontologist, specifically one who studies paleoecology, I absolutely love this!!! Convergent evolution makes SOOO much sense in the Pokémon world, and these new forms show perfect examples of how differently related animals evolve into similar traits/shapes as others. Spot on with the terminology as well!
@K P Bro its still a pokemon
@K P bro it’s video game, there’s walking trash bags and floating swords, and a cat that talks. I just think it’s cool they’re incorporating an idea of convergent evolution to have two similar but different looking Pokémon species
No such thing as a convengent evolutions
@@Yusei255 💀
I think a mechanic where you fill out your own pokedex entries based on your personal observations would be so much fun!
OH MAH GOD ITS A LONG DIGLETT
Ahn~❤
it is indeed a long Diglett
Long sneasel vs long diglett.
No its a W Iglett
@@Killua656 it looks like a sock puppet :P
Pokémon back at it again with another new and fun reveal format, Austin as well with the fast and quality uploads as usual, much appreciation, very enjoyable, hope y’all have a good one 👍
Despite Wiglett being a completely different pokemon instead of a paldean diglett its still gonna be very hard for me to keep that in mind due to how used I am to regional variants
That being said wow Convergent evolution is so interesting, I'm so excited to see if gamefreak do more with this idea
As a bio major and general science nerd, I love that they’re including actual biological concepts in the games. I was ecstatic when they introduced regional forms!
Will I use it? Probably not.
Do I love it? Absolutely!
I’m a biologist, and I think it’s neat that they decided to do this whole interactive ecological survey thing!
Can't wait for the Wugtrio reveal
*realises he kept henti open in another tap* " just going to keep that muted for now "
The names in this generation are literally top tier. 😂
Convergent means that any two separate species evolved to copy one of them or it may even be a coincidence...think of the leaf insect that looks just like a leaf...same thing happens in this case. Now divergent evolution means that any single species evolved into two or more different species to survive in any unfavorable conditions, (in nature it's more common than convergent evolution & yes, today was my Bio board exam and I described these in my board exam just 2-3 hours ago)
Thanks for keeping us updated Austin have a awsome day
Can't wait for the evaluation , Wugtrio!
It’s not the Pokémon we asked for, but maybe it’s the Pokémon we deserve.
🤣🤣
You are one of my favorite RUclipsrs!! I love your content and how informative you are!! Keep up the good work! You did good on the Dykg!
can we just aprreciate the randolph outro. had no idea it was made specifically for you! clashing of two worlds i didnt expect
It’s super cool how they come up with this stuff.
Geoduck(pronounced gooey duck) I believe are the inspiration, it is a species of clam and is the longest shellfish, they look pretty similar, definitely not the main inspiration, but, definitely similar
Biologist here!! You are using the term perfectly here. Convergent evolution is one of my favorite concepts in biology, the other being subspecies (regional forms in pokemon).
Posted 8 minutes ago! This is the best RUclips notifications has ever worked. Always love the content. Thanks for the updates!
You come through again Austin. Will say it again. Your videos really are the best!
I love that we have a Pokémon based on convergent evolution. That's so cool.
Since we have regional variants as divergent evolution, it's about time we have convergent evolution.
@@Qin73 I’m confused. What’s the difference between convergent evo and divergent evo? Give some examples
@@ssm1559 Shark and Dolphin can be said convergent evolution, they shared similar morphology and external characteristics but they are derived from 2 kingdom of animal. Dolphin is a mammals and shark is fish. They shared similar morphology as they were exposed to the same living environment and food source. Another example is Wolf and Tasmanian devil, wolf is placental mammal whereas Tasmanian devil is marsupial which is more closely related to Kangaroo. Tasmanian devil evolved this way as it is carnivorous and its body evolve to enable it to hunt.
@@ssm1559 Divergent evolutions occurss when 2 organisms of the same species evolve different traits in order to accommodate for differing environmental pressure. Wolf is Canis lupus and Dog, Canis familaris. Both wolf and dog share the common ancestor, but human domesticated dog make them evolved to a more docile and less aggressive variant of a genus, Canis
@@ssm1559 Itchyosaurus, Shark and Dolphin are very similar but they are reptile, fish and mammals respectively. They have evolved to having similar morphology as they are sea- dwelling predators.
Could be wrong, but maybe based off of a Garden eel? As a marine biologist, and one who loves garden eels and diglett, thank you very much Wiglett.
Love the video, I am a huge fan of real evolutionary processes existing in Pokémon, and yes you used convergent evolution correctly! To be nitpicky the distinct animals do not need to live in the same place, but in places with very similar of not identical environmental needs/pressures. So your definition was correct but not super specific haha. Either way you taught well, but as a person who has taken collegiate level evolution courses I felt the need to be this way haha. Thanks for what you do Austin!
Nice Pokémon but did you really have to put it as your thumbnail I was trying to stay unspoiled 😅
It’s the alaskan bull worm!!!!!
LMFAO
Gotta love this thing's Japanese name: Umidigda.
Umi = Sea
Digda = Diglett
The way the hole/rock thing surrounding it moves with the Wiglet when it turns looks so weird. A hole doesn't work like that 😂
I'm leaning towards razon clam mostly because spotted eels are in the water and clams can pop up in the beach.
My brother did wonder about wigglet and digglet "If W is for worm, then D is for..." XD
Thanks for the great video!!
You got the definitions of “Convergent” and “Divergent” evolution correctly. Good job @AustinJohnPlays.
Looks like it’s based on a razor clam based on regional context. Could be a bit of both razor clam and the eel though. Razor clams pop out of the sand when you pour salt on the sand surface. They also dig through the sand by protruding their arm/leg/face to act as a scooping implement, ejecting any sand from their butts if they ingest it whilst digging.
Spain has GREAT razor clams. Delicious with herby garlic butter. 🤤
The dolphin vs shark comparison is a great analysis. They both may share similar characteristics and same habitat of being marine animals, but the key difference is one is a fish the other is a mammal. Quick, easy and straight to the point. 👍🏾 Wiglett is a marine fossorial and Diglett is a land fossorial 😅 Although sand is apart of the land and can be burrowed through it is however damp because of the beach. And Diglett being a ground type will possibly fall weak digging through it
Cannot wait for a Wigtrio to appear randomly.
I love wiglett so much I just hope they update the official page for it
"We are gonna keep that muted for now" HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Hello! I am studying biology in college. Yes, you are correct that this would be the Pokémon version of convergent evolution. It’s really cool to see Pokémon getting more in touch with its sci-fi side.
I really like it. A lot of people are going to have a gut reaction but post Gen 5 Pokémon has had a lot more thought put into design and inspiration so I look forward to seeing how it melds with the past and future aesthetic
Why wasn’t alolan diglett called wiglett
Oh my lawd I see what you did...... wigtrio too....... bruh... 😆
@@SabreAran Lmaoooo
I'm glad Austin John affirmed my thought that Wigglet is based on a Spotted Garden Eel
Things like learning about Convergent Evolution, how certain Pokemon either draw references to mythological or real-life creatures, the symbology behind certain 'mons (Espeon and Umbreon have been my favorite pairing since gen 2) and how some of their behaviors or appearances can mimic or draw from real-life creatures is why I fell in love with the series as a kid and why I still enjoy it well into adulthood despite how it seems socially unacceptable at times for anyone that doesn't play video games.
Not a fan of it as a Mon but the convergent evolution idea is really cool. Would be down to see more.
Out of all the mons they could’ve given a convergent evolution idk why they picked such a meh Pokémon. Not to mention one they already gave a regional variant
There’s gonna be a Tentacool as well
Incredible that after 25 years of pokemon, they have finally revealed the best one.
A great example of convergent evolution is a Green Tree Python and Emerald Tree Boa. One lives in South America and the other live In and around Australia. They evolved in completely different parts of the world but look so similar and have such similar behavior its uncanny.
Dude... I love your videos. Can't wait to play these new Pokemon games using some of your tips and things.
Curious to see the evolution of Wigglet if there will be one. Who knows, many it won’t be just 3 Wigglet together?
Okay…now here me out…
Why is the white diglet longer than the black diglet?
Variety one is long the other thick. The beauty of evolution
Digletts you and wigletts the one she warns you not to worry about
That Majora Mask you have in the background is baddass man.
It's an interesting idea they have going on with Wiglett. I'm excited to try one out on my team!
so for people who dont know, there is going to be more of these "imposter" pokemon. they arent the original pokemon they are based on, like diglett. its not a regional form or varient. its a new pokemon that looks similar to a pokemon, but has different features. so its kinda like a in-between pokemon of other pokemon. like say spheal and seel. or rowlet and hoothoot.
So more Pokémon based on convergent evolution. Where two species might look similar because evolution wise it makes sense to have those traits but will behave totally differently. Like tigers and lions. They're both big cats, both utilize stealth for attack, and both have big paws, are huge in general. But one is a social animal the other is not. And due to their locations, one evolved to have stripes, the other golden fur.
Aka the developers ran out of good ideas so they just copy/pasted Diglett, sprinkled on a few changes & slapped a sticker on it that says 'this is a new Pokemon'.
@@grizzlyadams1929 if that's the case, this happened in Gen5 already
@@grizzlyadams1929 i bet you're the type to have gotten terrible grades in school aren't you
@@hazelnutspred3348 That’s the worst comparison I’ve ever heard. He’s 100% right. It’s literally a long white Diglett.
As a bio major gotta say that your explanation and terminology is spot on but I gotta say that inspiration for wigglet is that of a razor clam.
was very interesting, thanks for uploading it 🙂
NGL. The alolan Dugtrio looks more of a Wiglett than this one
It was an ALASKAN, BULL, WORM!!!
Love the background music!!
That whole speech about Convergent Evolution basically sounds like a very good reason to not completely design an entirely new Pokemon. I got no problem with it, but clearly it is save some costs on Pokemon design.
Can't wait to name mine Anita 🤩
Honestly I love this new Pokémon and it’s name
I always find my way back to this channel every year when the new Pokémon games drop
I like the idea of convergent evolution in a Pokémon game, it's a nice detail that makes them more believable.
But I would also love it if the wiglet we saw was just a lure, and the main body was hidden under the sand.
Like a nice nod to some digglet fan theories
I'm not the biggest fan of this thing, but the idea of convergent evolution in Pokemon is novel.
Yessss I’m a huge biology nerd and the fact they added convergent evolution into Pokémon has made my day. We need more of this honestly I’m down for it.
That's really cool that they incorporated the idea of convergent evolution in this.
Love that they started introducing concepts like convergent evolution. You can see most real world examples of this usually following mass extinctions in the fossil record. Some animals that specialized before the extinction event evolved to develop qualities and features that helped them within their specialization niche. You see time and again that evolution tends to recreate these qualities and features in different types of animals because those niches have been left vacant after the extinction event.
Ofcourse it doesn't take an extinction event for convergent evolution to take place. You just see the before animals and the after animals and just get fascinated at the marvel of evolution and how seemingly random mutations can sometimes lead to very similar things in different species of animals.
honest to God i thought this was an epic prank by Austin. kind of wish it was but Wiglett is starting to grow on me ngl
✋😭
edit: i listened to the convergent explanation and that's super cool! i love what they're doing with this and i hope we get some more examples of this
The new wood panel behind you're sign looks great!
Was that an Austin John rap at the end ?🤣🔥
Great video that ending song is amazing
Waiting anxiously for hurricane Ian to hit us, thank you for momentarily taking my mind of it!
I feel a little stressed because I'm currently working on getting a completed live national dex, and, to make things easier to find later, started organizing pokemon by first type and evolution lines instead of exclusively by numbers (ex. Slowking is next to Slowpoke & Slowbro in my water group instead of being in its numbered position with the Gen II group), and adding the concept of Conversion Evolutions makes remembering later a bit complicated.
On the other hand, I love that they're adding real science to this. I'm always happy when media decides to apply actual educational tools in a proper way.
On a completely left field note: I'm sure Bird Keeper Toby is losing his mind RN
PC: "its not a regional variant"
Wigglet: *evolves into Wugtrio*
So similar to pyukumuku and pinchurchin. They look very similar to the point they could be evolutionary forms but are entirely different pokemon
Really cool that it’s not a regional variant or anything like that but I kinda feel like this is just a way so they don’t repeat the Meowth situation aka having one Pokémon have many different regional forms like how Meowth has both an Alolan and Galarian form. Regardless can’t wait to see if this thing evolves and what it would evolve into if it does
Bro that thumbnail got my dying until I realised it was real... lmfao
2:14 I love them freaking out
I didn't know what they were called, but those Spotted Garden Eels were my first thought when I saw Wiglett. They're in the ending(and I think in some places during the episodes) of Shimoneta as a sort of innuendo, and they're a pretty recognizable animal.
Another example of convergent evolution IIRC is the Tasmanian Tiger and canines. If I'm not mistaken, the Tasmanian Tiger is/was a marsupial but looking at pictures you'd think it was some kind of wild dog or short haired wolf instead of being more closely related to kangaroos. I might be mixing up some details on that though.
I also bet on razor clams (navalhas in portuguese).They are a relative popular sea food in Portugal (in old time they were more popular, nowadays it's rare to find them)
"My money don't wiglett wiglett, it digs." XD
Eevee would be the best example of a divergent evolution tree, as Eevee depending on circumstance can at this point evolve into eight different Pokémon
Ayy 5 days late but I was finally notified of this video so here we are!
When I hear the name I think of Diglett wearing a wig....🤣🤣🤣
Just a side note/hopeful future Pokémon. With this being released, I feel like it’s only a matter of time till we can get a Sandflea based Pokémon (Mole crab/Sand Crab). Just seems like a cool concept to me and a good chance of typing and ability’s!
I love that pokemon doing new things when it comes to new pokemon.
I think I know why the trailer is in like 2 or 3 different languages is because it’s like having different scientists from around the world researching these Pokémon of Paldea
