'''Sandslash''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サンドパン''' ''Sandpan'') is a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Sandshrew}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Sandslash is a {{dl|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|tailed bipedal}}, ground-dwelling {{wp|pangolin|pholidote}} notable for its offensive and defensive capabilities. Its body is mostly covered in sharp quills formed from its tough, dry hide. It has two large claws on its paws and feet. It can curl into a large ball to protect its underbelly, and in this position it can {{m|Rollout|roll to attack}} or escape. Its primary weapon is the large claws on its paws, which can be used to {{m|slash}} at enemies. The claws are also useful for burrowing quickly and can sometimes be poisoned. Its claws and spikes can both break off and are shed regularly, but grow back quickly.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Sandslash are able to roll themselves into sharp balls of spikes, which can be used to both attack and defend themselves. In this ball form Sandslash can protect themselves from heatstroke, and can even kick up a dust storm. Sandslash is also adept at climbing trees, and is prone to ambush its enemies from above.

Like most fully evolved Pokémon, Sandslash can generate a {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
In the wild, Sandslash are more offensive than their pre-evolution, {{p|Sandshrew}}, but are still mostly defensive by nature. They spend much of their time hidden underground in their burrows, and will kick up sand or curl into a ball to escape predators. It will also curl into a ball to prevent heatstroke during the high temperatures of the daytime in its habitat. Although it is known to regrow its claws and spines if broken or snapped off, it does seem to have habitual molting. Once a year the old spikes fall out, to be replaced with new spikes that grow out from beneath the old spikes.

When needed, they can perform a variety of techniques to attack enemies, including slashing at them, rolling at them while curled up, and even climbing trees and attacking from above. Although Sandslash are usually bipedal, they are able to run on all fours.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
They are adapted to dry, arid areas. Thus, they can mostly be found in deserts and grasslands, and sometimes in river valleys or the upper levels of [[cave]]s as well. Wherever they are, they live underground in burrows. They are most common in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]], but can be found in [[Sinnoh]] on certain circumstances.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Sandslash do not require a lot of water, due to a very efficient system of staying hydrated with minimal moisture. They hunt for prey in the wild.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Sandslash's original name was "Sandstorm".
* Despite being one of the few pure Ground-type Pokémon in the first generations, Sandslash did not learn any damage-dealing {{type|Ground}} moves via leveling up until [[Generation III]].
* Although its species is the Mouse Pokémon, none of the animals it draws its design inspiration from are actually rodents.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Sandshrew and Sandslash}}
Sandslash shares various physical traits with the {{wp|pangolin}}. It also takes elements from hedgehogs, porcupines and echidnas, due to having spikes instead of scales, and also in its coloration. The fact that it [[Rollout (move)|rolls into a ball of spikes to attack]] appears to have been inspired by [[en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic The Hedgehog|Sonic The Hedgehog]]). Both {{p|Sandshrew}} and Sandslash are mentioned to have poisonous claws, similar to how some species of the {{wp|shrew}} are poisonous.

====Name origin====
Sandslash is a combination of ''sand'' and ''slash'' (referring to its long claws).

Sandpan may be a combination of ''sand'' and ''{{wp|pangolin}}''.

'''Stantler''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オドシシ''' ''Odoshishi'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Stantler are antlered Pokémon that are similar to real-life reindeer or caribou. These Pokémon are quadrupedal, with each leg ending in a black hoof. The pelt of a Stantler is a tan color with a cream-colored belly and a few cream-colored spots on the back. They have large, brown noses and a pair of pale cream-colored antlers, each with a black orb in the center. There is confusion whether the tail of a Stantler is cream or brown, since the artwork has differed this way between generations. However, the official artwork from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} depicts Stantler with a brown tail, the same brown as its pelt.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Stantler can distort reality and create illusions with its antlers by subtly changing the flow of air around them. Staring into them creates an odd sensation, as if one is being sucked through them, and one may become so dizzy it makes them impossible to stand. Its strange antlers are very valuable artifacts that [[Pokémon hunter]]s poach Stantler for. The species was nearly driven to extinction for this. The round balls found on the fallen antlers can be ground into a powder that aids in sleeping.

===Behavior===
It can be presumed that Stantler shed their horns at some point, as a Pokédex entry references its fallen antlers. If a baby Stantler is separated from its herd and frightened, it will instinctively produce an illusion of a big, stampeding herd to scare away the perceived threats.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Stantler live in herds in forests or mountainous terrain.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Stantler are {{a|Sap Sipper|herbivores}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Stantler anime.png|thumb|220px|Stantler in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[EP125|The Little Big Horn]]'', {{an|Brock}} helped a Stantler fawn reunite with its herd. A little while before that, Stantler created an illusion of a stampeding herd of Stantler in self defense, but it was later seen through by Brock.

In ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'', Ash got lost in a forest that contained many Stantler with his {{AP|Turtwig}}. Some of the Stantler used {{m|Hypnosis}} on the two, giving them various hallucinations. [[Paul]] captured one of the Stantler but released it after deciding that it wasn't worthy for his team.

[[Santa Claus]] has a group of Stantler to pull his sleigh as shown in [[PK06|Stantler's Little Helpers]], officially replacing his {{p|Ponyta}}.

A pod of three Stantler appeared in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]''.

It was also seen as part of [[Lila]]'s famous "tiger lily smile" in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]''.

Many Stantler appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

==Trivia==
*Stantler is the only Normal-type to learn {{m|Imprison}} and {{m|Calm Mind}} by level up.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on a {{wp|reindeer}}, since both the males and females have antlers. The center of its antlers also have some resemblance to a {{wp|jingle bell}}. In keeping with this Christmas theme, its shiny form has a red nose, implying it is based on Rudolph The Red-Nose Reindeer. Rudolph was the only red-nosed reindeer in the story, implying his coloration was quite rare, much like shiny Pokemon.
====Name origin====
Stantler may be a combination of ''{{wp|deer|stag}}'' and ''antler''.

Odoshishi may be derived from 鹿威し ''shishiodoshi'', a Japanese device traditionally used to scare deer and birds away from gardens.
