Sandslash-Alola is an Ice/Steel-type Pokémon (National Dex #28) with a middling stat total of 450. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield and Let's Go, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.
Its best stat is Defense at 120, which makes it a defensive wall. Attack outweighs Special Attack by a clear margin, so an Adamant or Jolly nature and a physical move set play to its strengths. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.
Defensively, Sandslash-Alola takes super-effective damage from Fire, Fighting at 4×, and Ground at 2×. It is completely immune to Poison. It resists Normal, Grass, Ice, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Dragon, Fairy. Its ability options are Snow Cloak, Slush Rush, and you choose which one your copy carries.
Sandslash-Alola evolves into Sandshrew-Alola. You can order any stage directly rather than raising it — useful when you want the final evolution at a specific level, or the pre-evolution with an egg move it can only learn early.
In-game, Sandslash-Alola has 32 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (11), Sword & Shield (10), Let's Go (11) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Sword & Shield, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Sandslash-Alola ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
