Pokédex descriptions

Shield

It climbs trees by hooking on with its sharp claws. Sandslash shares the berries it gathers, dropping them down to Sandshrew waiting below the tree.

Sword

The drier the area Sandslash lives in, the harder and smoother the Pokémon’s spikes will feel when touched.

Lets Go Eevee

It is skilled at slashing enemies with its claws. If broken, they start to grow back in a day.
