Read more ↓Sandshrew, the Mouse Pokémon, is a ground-type creature first introduced in Generation I. It is known for its ability to curl into a ball to protect itself and for its sharp claws which it uses to burrow through the toughest terrain. Native to dry, arid regions, Sandshrew are often found in deserts and caves, where they dig intricate burrows to create their nests and escape the heat. Its diet primarily consists of insects found underground. In the Pokémon games, Sandshrew evolves into Sandslash, a more formidable ground-type Pokémon with even larger claws. Its ground typing makes it strong against Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, and Steel types, but vulnerable to Water, Grass, and Ice attacks. Sandshrew has been a recurring character in the Pokémon anime, often depicted as a timid yet resilient Pokémon. Its iconic design and early appearance in the franchise have cemented its place as a fan favorite, representing the classic charm of the original 151 Pokémon.
