Biological Characteristics
Despite its name, Sandshrew's appearance borrows more from the armadillo or the pangolin rather than from the shrew. It is a short, yellow, rodent-like creature, covered in scales and with clawed paws. Its eyes are large and black. Families Pampatheriidae (prehistoric) Glyptodontidae (prehistoric) Dasypodidae Armadillos are small placental mammals, known for having a bony armor shell. ...
Species Manis culionensis Manis gigantea Manis temminckii Manis tricuspis Manis tetradactyla Manis crassicaudata Manis pentadactyla Manis javanica Pangolins (pronounced ) or scaly anteaters are mammals in the order Pholidota. ...
Suborders Sciuromorpha Castorimorpha Myomorpha Anomaluromorpha Hystricomorpha Rodentia is an order of mammals also known as rodents. ...
Sandshrew's natural environment is deep underground in arid, sandy locations with very little moisture, the desert being the best example. It chooses this habitat to keep its hide as dry and tough as possible, while the sand also provides it with a good camouflage. Dew on a spider web Moldy bread Moisture generally refers to the presence of water, often in trace amounts. ...
This article is about arid terrain. ...
Habitat (from the Latin for it inhabits) is the place where a particular species lives and grows. ...

Sandshrew emerges from its burrow only when hunting. It lurks by the opening to its nest, its body blending with the surrounding soil. If prey approaches close enough, it lunges, grabs the victim, and carries it with it back to its nest, where it eats it.
When threatened, Sandshrew's primary means of defense is to instantly curl up its body into a ball, leaving only its tough skin exposed (compare with the defensive measures of hedgehogs, armadillos, and pangolins.) When it is rolled up like this, Sandshrew has the potential to withstand many attacks, as well as being dropped from a great height (also similar to hedgehogs.). Genera Atelerix Erinaceus Hemiechinus Mesechinus Paraechinus A hedgehog is any of the small spiny mammals of the subfamily Erinaceinae and the order Erinaceomorpha. ...

Despite its aversion to water, even Sandshrew needs it in order to survive. Its metabolism is configured in such a way so that it can absorb water with minimal waste, allowing Sandshrew to get by with small quantities of it. Its low speed and metabolisim in many ways make it the exact opposite of a real-life shrew. A few of the metabolic pathways in a cell. ...
Sandshrews make lovable and loyal pets in the desert, but since they are finicky eaters they are tough to raise.

Like most Ground-type Pokémon, Sandshrew has excellent defense, but it also has a very good attack stat. On the downside, it is a bit on the slow side and its special defense is very low. Unfortunately, Sandshrew does not learn many powerful attacks naturally, forcing players to resort to Technical Machines.
The Sandstorm move is especially useful for a Sandshrew: thanks to its Sand Veil ability, its evasion will then rise, causing the opponent to miss Sandshrew once in a while. Furthermore, the Sandstorm will inflict a small portion of damage periodically to most types, resulting in a fair amount of damage. Sandstorm can refer to: Sandstorms, a term used for dust storms in the desert. ...
Some players accent Sandshrew's evasion further using the Brightpowder or Lax Incense item or by employing the Double Team move, while Toxic is often used in conjunction with Sandstorm to accumulate indirect damage. However, Sandshrew's decent physical also allows for a more offensive strategy, involving moves such as Earthquake, Rock Slide or Brick Break. It can also learn Metal Claw, Crush Claw, and Rapid Spin as Egg Moves.
In Pokémon Emerald, it can be taught the Rock-type move Rollout by a man standing near the Mauville City Gym, allowing it access to the Defense Curl/Rollout combo. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...
