027: Sandshrew

Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s twenty-seventh lesson on Pokémon biology. In today's lesson, we will be discussing Sandshrew: the Mouse Pokémon. Wait, seriously? Another "Mouse" Pokémon? What even is a "Mouse"? Anyway, despite also being a "Mouse" Pokémon, Sandshrew is nothing like Pikachu or Raichu. Sandshrew is a ground-dwelling creature that loves spending its time burrowing and heating itself near volcanoes. This Pokémon has an Alolan variant, which is a steel/ice type, and it enjoys thriving in snowy mountains and sliding across the ground with "bullet-like speed". Yes, that fast. And as always, there's a pop quiz today. So pay attention and take detailed notes on both variations of Sandshrew!
