Sandslash

Sandslash appeared in 1996 video game called Pokémon Red & Green. Sandslash is a Mouse Pokémon. The spikes that cover Sandslash are sharp but brittle which are easily broken on impact. Fortunately, they grow back quickly. It sometimes ambushes foes by rolling up into a spiny ball and dropping from above.

Alolan Sandslash
Sandslash is covered in spikes of tough steel, and in the cold mountains where it lives, each spike develops a thick coating of ice. A plume of snow flies up behind it as it dashes across the snowfield.

Appearance
Sandslash is a tall, yellow, mammalian creature with brown spikes/quills on its back. It has two very long claws on each "hand" used for digging and battling. Sandslash can curl up to a small size just like its pre-evolved form Sandshrew, but it is of a much larger stature, which enhances its defense.

Alolan Sandslash keeps the traits of its Alolan pre-evolution. It is a tall, ice blue mammalian creature with steel-hard, ice blue crystals on its back. It has two very long claws on each "hand" used for digging paths in the snow. The weight of the ice makes it slower than regular Sandslash.
