Sandshrew is the Mouse Pokemon. It is a Ground type Pokémon. It evolves into Sandslash starting at level 22.
In the Alola region, Sandshrew has a regional variant that is an Ice and Steel Type. It evolves into an Alolan Sandslash when exposed to an Ice Stone.
Appearance[]
Sandshrew has the appearance of a mouse made out of yellow bricks. It has large, bulby blue eyes and pokey ears. It's a very small Pokemon, with a tan underbelly. It has two claws on it's feet, and three on it's hands.
Alolan Form[]
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 and with a cream-colored belly and muzzle. Its head now resembles an igloo. Thicker plates form a dome around its head and its ears resemble an igloo's entrances. In adapting to this cold climate, its body became larger and heavier with a shell of ice covering its hide. The steel-like covering grants it extra defense, but it is unable to curl into a ball like its desert counterpart. Alolan Sandshrew's claws allow it to move without slipping on icy surfaces, but it slides on its stomach when it needs to move quickly.
