Sandshrew (Alola) in Inclement Emerald
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 Snow Cloak, Slush Rush 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.
