Plan this partner in PokéBonk

This analysis describes the Sandshrew League partner and its evolution line, not necessarily the current form alone.

Armor and critical chance give Sandshrew a balanced baseline. Its fissure Ultimate creates space, and sand weather adds mobility once that interaction is available.

Trade-off: Weather benefits are conditional, and the kit lacks a reliable recovery loop.

Passive: Sand Rush

Ultimate progression: Seismic Dig / Abyssal Fissure

Curated kit: Fury Swipes (Lv. 1) · Rollout (Lv. 2) · Crush Claw (Lv. 4) · Bulldoze (Lv. 7)

Later moves become eligible offers; they are not automatically equipped.
