Sandslash in Emerald Imperium

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

Compared with the official games

Stats Attack 100 → 110, Defense 110 → 120, Sp. Atk 45 → 25, Sp. Def 55 → 65 (total 450 → 460)

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.
