Alolan SandshrewMcdonalds Collection 2019 #4 Pokémon Card

Alolan Sandshrew is a beloved Ice/Steel-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII with the Alola region. Unlike its Kantonian counterpart, which is a Ground-type, Alolan Sandshrew adapted to the snowy peaks of Mount Lanakila, developing an icy shell and a steel-like hide. This adaptation allows it to roll down icy slopes at high speeds, using its tough exterior to protect itself. Its diet primarily consists of berries found in snowy environments, and it often burrows into snow to hide from predators or to sleep. In the games, Alolan Sandshrew is exclusive to Pokémon Sun and evolves into Alolan Sandslash. Its unique typing provides it with a strong defensive presence, though it does gain new weaknesses compared to its original form. Alolan Sandshrew also plays a role in the anime, often depicted as playful and resilient, endearing it to fans. Its distinct appearance and regional variant status make it a memorable addition to the Pokémon world.
