How to play the Sandshrew line

Sandshrew’s line is the Digger. Its passive, Sand Rush, gives +10 armor and +6% crit, and +30% speed in a sandstorm. The kit is Fury Swipes and Crush Claw (Normal), Rollout (Rock) and Bulldoze (Ground). The Ultimate starts as Seismic Dig: you sink underground, invisible, and come up with a tremor that stuns, four fissures and rock spikes. As Sandslash it becomes Abyssal Fissure, eight 16 m fissures with rock spikes, and a sandstorm breaks out, which is the weather the passive rewards. The game’s code puts Sandslash at about level 36. Its challenge is to dodge 120 attacks. Dodge first, then hit back hard: that is the rhythm it rewards.

Where the Sandshrew line starts

Sandshrew starts the Sandshrew line with a base stat total of 300 (Defense highest at 85), the tier 1 Ultimate Seismic Dig and the family passive Sand Rush. Sandshrew evolves into Sandslash at about level 36 (worked out from the game code, not play-tested).
