Character Sheet: The Sandshrew Line

SANDSHREW/SANDSLASH

Next up, we have Sandshrew and Sandslash, our first ever ground types, both of whom are based on pangolins and are known for burrowing in the sand. They also have Ice/Steel type variants in Alola, but we'll cover those later.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Scratch > Slash

Side B: Rollout

Up B: Rapid Spin > Sandstorm

Down B: Sand Attack > Dig

Final Smash: Earthquake

Entrance: Poke Ball.

Taunts: Possibly just a Defense Curl, scratching at the ground, and such.

Kirby Hat: The top of the head (with Sandslash's spikes on Sandslash's version)

Kart: Poke Ball car

Special Move: Sand Attack

Spirit Battle: On a deserty-themed stage. We'll see if one crops up.

Victory Screen: Finishing its burrow and snuggling into it.

Losing Screen: Fainted.

Color Swaps: Main, shiny, reference to the Alola versions, other general colors.

Thanks for reading! Next up, the Nidorans battle for love.
