Pokedex Entries

Game	Entry
Red	Curls up into a spiny ball when threatened. it can roll while curled up to attack or escape.
Gold	In an attempt to hide itself, it will run around at top speed to kick up a blinding dust storm.
Silver	If it digs at an incredible pace, it may snap off its spikes and claws. they grow back in a day.
Ruby	Sandslash’s body is covered by tough spikes, which are hardened sections of its hide. once a year, the old spikes fall out, to be replaced with new spikes that grow out from beneath the old ones.
Sapphire	Sandslash can roll up its body as if it were a ball covered with large spikes. in battle, this pokémon will try to make the foe flinch by jabbing it with its spines. it then leaps at the stunned foe to tear wildly with its sharp claws.
Firered	It is adept at attacking with the spines on its back and its sharp claws while quickly scurrying about.
Leafgreen	Curls up into a spiny ball when threatened. it can roll while curled up to attack or escape.
Heartgold	In an attempt to hide itself, it will run around at top speed to kick up a blinding dust storm.
Soulsilver	If it digs at an incredible pace, it may snap off its spikes and claws. they grow back in a day.
X	If it digs at an incredible pace, it may snap off its spikes and claws. they grow back in a day.
Y	Curls up into a spiny ball when threatened. it can roll while curled up to attack or escape.
Sun	Although they are sharp, its claws and spikes often break off. they grow back the next day, so it is not bothered by the temporary loss.
Moon	It uses its claws to climb trees and then curls its body into a spiny ball, ready to drop onto any prey that appears.
