Description
Sandslash
The drier the area Sandslash lives in, the harder and smoother the Pokémon’s spikes will feel when touched.
It is skilled at slashing enemies with its claws. If broken, they start to grow back in a day.
Thanks to its thick claws, it’s good at climbing trees. There are plenty of Sandslash that park themselves in trees and go right to sleep.
