Sandshrew is a bipedal mammalian Pokémon, but runs on all fours [[EP008|in the anime]]. Its yellow hide is dry, tough, blends in with desert sand, and has a brick pattern, but its underbelly and muzzle are white. Sandshrew has blue, almond-shaped eyes, a pointed snout, and triangular ears with white insides. Its tail is thick and conical. It has two long claws on each foot and three sharp claws on its forepaws, which are used to burrow.
Sandshrew is a bipedal {{wp|pholidota|pholidote}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (though it runs on all fours in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'')<ref>''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''</ref>. Its brick-patterned yellow hide is dry, and tough, blends in with desert sand, and protects its soft white underbelly and muzzle. Sandshrew has blue, almond-shaped eyes, a pointed snout, and triangular ears with white insides. Its tail is thick and conical. It has two long claws on each foot and three sharp claws on its forepaws, which are used to burrow.


Sandshrew spends much of its time hidden underground in deep burrows. It only emerges to hunt, which it does by waiting within its burrow to instantly lunge out and drag in passing prey. Sandshrew can quickly curl into a tight ball to protect itself from great falls and opponents, but may also throw sand at attackers. While its body can efficiently absorb water to facilitate life in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|desert}}, Sandshrew is also found in grasslands and caves.
Sandshrew spends much of its time hidden underground in deep burrows. It only emerges to lunge and drag in passing {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.

While its body can efficiently absorb water to facilitate life in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|desert}}, Sandshrew [[EP006|has been found]] in caves as well. It also lives deep underground in nests it has created from digging tunnels. Should hard rocks get in the way of digging, Sandshrew will use its sharp claws to remove them before continuing to dig. If it is too wet, its skin becomes wrinkly. It dries itself out by using the geothermal heat near a volcano. It is also known to bathe in sand, which helps remove dirt and moisture from its body.

==In the anime==
===Forms===
[[File:AJ Sandshrew.png|200px|thumb|right|Sandshrew in the anime]]
[[File:Alolan Sandshrew SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Concept artwork of {{rf|Alolan}} Sandshrew for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
[[File:Sandshrew Egg.png|thumb|A Sandshrew {{pkmn|Egg}} in the anime]]
Sandshrew has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Sandshrew.
===Major appearances===
Sandshrew was first featured in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''. It was owned by a Pokémon Trainer named [[A.J.]]. Despite A.J.'s seemingly barbaric training methods (e.g. using a whip, training in a pool), it was very loyal to him.


A Sandshrew was one of the Pokémon that played Hide-n-Seek in ''[[PK10|Pikachu's PikaBoo]]''. Sandshrew camouflaged itself in front of a brick wall.
In the [[Alola]] region, Sandshrew migrated to snowy mountains due to the volcanic activity near the desert areas. Its body is a light, icy blue, with a cream-colored belly and muzzle. Thicker plates form a dome around its head and its ears resemble an {{wp|igloo}}'s entrances. In adapting to this cold climate, its body became larger and heavier with a shell of hard ice covering its hide. The shell is also made of very hard steel.


[[Mira]] enlisted {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} to help her retrieve her Sandshrew that was lost at the bottom of an artificial lake created by a dammed river in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]''.
This steel-like covering grants it extra defense from predators like {{p|Sneasel}}, but it is unable to curl into a ball like its desert counterpart; smarter predators such as {{p|Weavile}} exploit its soft underbelly. Alolan Sandshrew can burrow itself in the snow to avoid being blown away by blizzards. Its claws allow it to move without slipping on icy surfaces, but it slides on its stomach when it needs to move quickly.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180915020424/https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-sandshrew/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Sandshrew]</ref> A traditional Alolan custom during festivals is a competition to see who can slide Alolan Sandshrew across the ice the farthest. They can also be found in the [[Polar Biome]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]], where Alola's island life is simulated.
