It spends much of its time hidden underground in their burrows, and will kick up sand or curl into a ball to escape predators. Although Sandslash is usually bipedal, it can run on all fours. Sandslash can mostly be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|deserts}} and grasslands, and sometimes in river valleys or the upper levels of [[cave]]s as well. Wherever they are, they live underground in burrows. They are most common in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]], but can be found in [[Sinnoh]] on certain circumstances. It does not require a lot of water, due to a very efficient system of staying hydrated with minimal moisture. It hunts for prey in the wild.
