How to Get Sandslash in "Sapphire"
"Pokemon Sapphire" features many Pokemon, including Sandslash --- a ground-dwelling mouse Pokemon. While generally defensive, Sandslash has the ability to use advanced Pokemon maneuvers, such as Hyper Beam and Giga Impact. In "Pokemon Sapphire," you cannot catch a Sandslash in the wild, but you can capture a Sandshrew and make it evolve into a Sandslash.
