Concept artwork of Alolan Sandshrew.

Alolan Sandshrew, having fled the desert due to frequent eruptions, has adapted to the cold climate of the snowy mountains. This Sandshrew has a white belly and an ice blue back. Its back resembles bricked pavement or walls albeit colored ice blue. It has a short tail, four short legs and a small head. The majority of its ice blue body is clad in steel-hard ice armor, also sporting the ice brick pattern.

Behavior[]

Kantonian[]

Most Sandshrew are timid and they usually run away by digging holes. Despite this nature, they can become braver and more courageous once they're trained by skilled trainers. When their skin becomes wrinkled due to moisture, they head to volcanic areas and dry themselves out through laying on a spot with lots of geothermal heat. They are implied to eat bug types.

Alolan[]

When some Sandshrew first arrived at the islands of Alola, they tried to scrape out niches in lowland desert areas. However, such places were plagued with frequent volcanic activity in Alola's past, making them unsuitable for most forms of life. Though Sandshrew are somewhat accustomed to geothermic activity, the frequency of such disturbances was so great that were forced to flee to higher ground.

Today, Alolan Sandshrew inhabit snowy mountains. Their skin has grown thicker and steel-like to help insulate them from the cold; additionally, they are also covered in thin layers of ice. Though this gives them great defensive capabilities, it also hinder their flexibility. Consequently, Alolan Sandshew cannot curl up into balls like their mainland relatives. To move, Alolan Sandshrew slide across slick ice on their bellies like curling stones. A popular competition in Alolan festivals, in fact, is Sandshrew sliding, where contestants try to slide their Pokémon as far down the ice as possible. Alolan Sandshrew also have developed claws that help them cling onto ice without slipping. When attacked, they will hold tight to the slippery ground in order to keep their soft undersides safe from predators. This compact form also keeps them low to the ground and prevents them from being blown about during powerful blizzards. Thier diet is left unspecified.

Natural abilities[]

Sandshrew, when in danger, can curl into a ball to defend itself. They can also claw away sharp rock that impede their digging.

Alolan Sandshrew lack flexibility and cannot curl into a ball but have an excelling natural defense which makes up for this. They also have natural maneuverability on ice.

Evolution[]

Sandshrew evolves into Sandslash once it reaches level 22.

Alolan Sandshrew evolves into Alolan Sandslash when exposed to an Ice Stone.

Appearances[]

Anime[]

Sandshrew made its first major appearance in the episode The Path to the Pokémon League under the ownership of a trainer named A.J. A.J. used brutal methods of training his Pokémon, such as the use of a whip, and was a very strict trainer.

Trivia[]

  • Sandshrew is the first Ground-type Pokémon in National Pokédex order.
    • Its Alolan Form is also the first Ice/Steel type in this order, though the latter is debatable as Magnemite would be technically the first Steel Type (and Steelix if Magnemite's type change was not counted).
  • Despite what its Stadium Pokédex entry implies, it cannot learn the move Bounce.
  • Sandshrew could be seen as a counterpart to Vulpix. Both were introduced in Generation I and got Alolan Forms which are both Ice-types and a Version Exclusive to the Generation VII games (Vulpix being exclusive to Pokémon Sun, Ultra Sun and Let's Go, Eevee! and Sandshrew being exclusive to Pokémon Moon,Ultra Moon and Let's Go, Pikachu!) that evolve with an Ice Stone.
  • No other Pokémon has same type matchup of  Ice/Steel-type as Alolan Sandshrew and its evolution Alolan Sandslash.
  • Sandshrew is the regional mascot of Tottori, a prefecture in Japan known for its sand dunes.
  • While Sandshrew is depicted as a biped, A.J's Sandshrew was shown as a quadraped.
  • Sandshrew and its evolved form share their category with Rattata, Raticate, Pikachu and Raichu.
    • Interestingly, all of them sans Pikachu have an Alolan Form.

Origin[]

Sandshrew appears to be based on a mouse and an armadillo. As shown by how it can learn the move Poison Sting, its prey being bug-type Pokémon (as stated in its Pokémon Moon Pokédex entry), and by its name alone, it may also be based on shrews as they are also able to have venomous bites as well as feast on insects. Its hide pattern also resembles that often associated with Egyptian pyramids.

Its Alolan Forms hide pattern resembles that of an igloo. Its ability to roll up and slide on ice may also reference a curling stone.

Etymology[]

Sandshrew comes from "Sand" and "Shrew" which is a reference to their habitat and appearance.
