Trapinch

Although Trapinch suffers competition from Diglett as a Ground-type trapper, it is able to heavily differentiate itself through its higher Attack stat and far greater bulk. Its decent defenses allow it to trap several important threats that Diglett struggles against, although they still aren't anything to write home about. Trapinch's effectiveness outside of trapping specific targets is hindered by its low Speed and limited movepool. Furthermore, once it has done its job, its common weaknesses make it easy to force out. For these reasons, Trapinch's disadvantages should be carefully weighed before simply throwing it onto a team.
