Sandslash (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Sandslash is a bipedal, ground dwelling {{wp|pangolin|pholidote}} Pokémon. Although Sandslash is usually bipedal, it can run on all fours. Its body is mostly covered in sharp, brown quills formed from its tough, dry hide. It has two large claws on its paws and feet. These claws are its primary weapons, and are used for slashing. They can also be used for burrowing. Its claws and spikes can both break off and are shed regularly, but grow back quickly. It can curl into a large ball to protect its white underbelly. In this position, it can roll to attack or escape, and protect itself from heatstroke. Sandslash is also adept at climbing trees, and is prone to ambush its enemies from above. Sandslash can mostly be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|deserts}} and grasslands.
