Physical Sweeper Sandshrew (Retro)
Sandshrew is a decent Physical Sweeper in single battles. This moveset is designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Generation one was a completely different game from what it is now. Back before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Earthquake is a physical STAB-boosted 100-base power Ground-type move that deals a vast amount of damage. ♦ Dig is a physical STAB-boosted 100-base power Ground-type move (digs underground turn 1, strikes turn 2). ♦ Double-Edge is a physical 100-base power Normal-type move (has 1/4 recoil). ♦ Body Slam is a physical 85-base power Normal-type move (30% chance to paralyze the target). ♦ Rock Slide is a physical 75-base power Rock-type move that deals damage. ♦ Seismic Toss is a physical 1-base power Fighting-type move (damage = Sandshrew's level. Can hit ghost types).
