Pokédex entries

What each game says about it, in the games' own words.

Red / Blue / LeafGreen / YCurls up into a spiny ball when threatened. It can roll while curled up to attack or escape.
YellowIt is skilled at slashing enemies with its claws. If broken, they start to grow back in a day.
Gold / HeartGoldIn an attempt to hide itself, it will run around at top speed to kick up a blinding dust storm.
Silver / SoulSilver / XIf it digs at an incredible pace, it may snap off its spikes and claws. They grow back in a day.
CrystalAdept at climbing trees, it rolls into a spiny ball, then attacks its enemies from above.
RubySANDSLASH’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.
SapphireSANDSLASH 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.
EmeraldIt 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.
FireRedIt is adept at attacking with the spines on its back and its sharp claws while quickly scurrying about.
Diamond / Pearl / Platinum / Black / WhiteIt curls up, then rolls into foes with its back. Its sharp spines inflict severe damage.
Black 2 / White 2The spikes on its body are made up of its hardened hide. It rolls up and attacks foes with its spikes.
Omega RubySandslash’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.
Alpha SapphireSandslash 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.
SunAlthough they are sharp, its claws and spikes often break off. They grow back the next day, so it is not bothered by the temporary loss.
MoonIt uses its claws to climb trees and then curls its body into a spiny ball, ready to drop onto any prey that appears.
Ultra SunIts claws and horns often break off. The broken claws and horns can be used to carve plows for tilling farm fields.
Ultra MoonThanks to its thick claws, it’s good at climbing trees. There are plenty of Sandslash that park themselves in trees and go right to sleep.

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
