Red/Blue Leaf Green Curls up into a spiny ball when threatened. It can roll while curled up to hunt for food.

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

Fire Red It is adept at attacking with the spines on its back and its sharp claws while quickly scurrying about.

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.

Crystal Adept at climbing trees, it rolls into a spiny ball, then attacks its enemies from above.

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.

Emerald It curls up in a ball to protect itself from enemy attacks. It also curls up to prevent heatstroke during the daytime when temperatures rise sharply.
