Now most peoples first and likely still current view on Bunnelby was when they encounted one on route 22 and one shot it thus instantly dismissing it as this generations lame Buneary clone. To an extend they would be correct as on a regular playthrough it is less than useless. This topic aims to shatter than myth and show you why Diggersby is one of most underated pokemon of them all. There is a reason its BL for lower tiers and only allowed in OU and above as it completely overpowers a vast array of the game (this makes it a great choice for battle mansion).
Set 1: Choice Scarf
Firstly when you think of Huge Power most would instantly think Azumarill or Mega Mawile. Diggersby gets Huge power too as its ability and unlikely the other two is not slug paced thus required to go bulky.
252 Atk 252 Spd 4 hp* (or def whatever you don't really want to take a shot anyway)
Choice Scarf
Adamant (Huge Power)
U Turn
Return (Stab)
Earthquake (Stab)
Wild Charge
When scarfed Diggersby sits nice at a level where it will outspeed +speed natured pokemon up to 124 speed (that is above Noivern and Greninja). Not only that it will likely one shot most of them too with its stupidly high power and brilliant 2x 100+ damage stab moves and great overall coverage (Greninja *dead* on a U-turn), Thunderus *dead* by return, Terrakion *dead* by earthquake). As scarf pokemon go it is second only to Garchomp and is a great check for boosted Aegilash, is not 4x ice weak, U-turn switching and does not cry at fairies.
Weakness wise it just about loses the speed battle to a dragon danced Dragonite plus a couple of other DDers unlike Garchomp and like anything scarfed can get locked into a move which would allow others to switch in a flier or ghost safely.
Set 2: Huge Power Sweeping (gotta have me some mega boosting!)
The one thing people love to do more than anything is to mega boost and blow away an opponent with a boosted pokemon. Diggersby can do this.
252 Atk 252 Spd 4 hp* (or def whatever you don't really want to take a shot anyway)
Life Orb
Adamant (Huge Power)
Quick Attack / Agility
Sword Dance
Earthquake
Return / Wild Charge
Stab priority on a sword dance Huge Power pokemon is the thing of beauty. Much like how Mega Pinsir / Terrakion made quick cool again Diggersby does the same thing. Set up SD and proceed to blow away faster threats with quick attack and outspeed bulky pokemon to smack them with something more hurtful. Alternately to quick attack go for the SD / Agility double and switch in on a none threat and go for the grand slam of boosts. Game over if its pulled off. Wild charge is for coverage (Steel fliers/Gengar) or Return for overall killing.
Please note that the IV distribution and moves used are very similar on both sets so you really don't need to breed two if you want to try both sets .
Other ideas you may consider are going with a choice band for extra power for a priority revenge killer or removing a few speed ivs in exchange for bulk on agility sets.
