Sandslash

Sandshrew's evolution, Sandslash, is similarly ambiguous in taxonomy, and it's also just damn cool. It still feels a little like an armadillo crossed with a pangolin, but the spines say "hedgehog" or "echidna." It's kind of a chimera of all those weird ground-mammals with scales or spines instead of fur, and it still has some of Sandshrew's cuteness, but it also looks like it could absolutely slaughtera guy. Out of everything we've reviewed so far, I feel like Sandslash says "DO NOT F*** WITH THIS" the hardest, which is impressive considering we've seen a fire breathing dragon, a truck-sized turtle with guns on it and a hornet that could impale three babies at once.
