The tiers of Diglett and it's evolution Dugtrio are based on taking the numbers from Magnitude at face value and assuming they're equal to an earthquake of equal rating on the Richter scale. The problems with this is that I don't recall anything in-game justifying such an assumption, the fact that there are several other Pokemon that can learn Magnitude, which would put all of them at high 6-C simply because they can learn a move, and even more given that Earthquake, a move that is generally stronger than Magnitude, can be learned by an even greater number of Pokemon through TM, and that this puts an unevolved Pokemon above the legendary birds, which seems incredibly wrong in my eyes.
