*Sandshrew is the first {{type|Ground}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
*Sandshrew and {{p|Sandslash}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Raichu}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate have also been called Rat Pokémon.

They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate have also been called Rat Pokémon. However, neither shrews, armadillos nor pangolins (all of which Sandshrew has been based on) are actually rodents.
*Although Sandshrew was introduced in [[Generation I]] as a pure {{type|Ground}}, it could not learn any Ground-type attacks via level-up until [[Generation II]] when {{m|Sand-Attack}} became a Ground-type move. Sandshrew first learned a damage-dealing Ground-type move by level-up in [[Generation III]].
