Sandshrew (Alola) in Emerald Imperium

Ice / Steel — where to catch it, what it learns, and how it differs from the official games.

Compared with the official games

Against the base species it is built from:

Stats Defense 85 → 90, Sp. Atk 20 → 10, Sp. Def 30 → 35
Type Ground → Ice / Steel
Abilities gains Slush Rush, Ice Body and loses Sand Veil, Sand Rush

Compared against present-day official data. The Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived after Pokémon Emerald, so a difference here can belong to the series rather than to this hack.
