FalseSwipeGaming, I got an idea I would like to get feedback from you however I wrote this on the Misdreavus video. As your aware you have had different music and background colour than usual and it is nice to see a new idea, the same shade that was used on the icon image and I got thinking since you work a fair amount on the icon images why not use the same colour scheme on the background of that pokémons video instead of the boring blue? Another idea to make things more characteristic is with including their roar when you see their sprite every now and then. I hope this helps you with more ideas for an aesthetic approach. Btw the trick or treat joke was great wordplay!

It even survived a hyper beam from Dragonite. Sand Attack twice and destroy it with rock slide.

A cock ring or cockring is a ring worn around the penis, usually at the base. The primary purpose of wearing a cock ring is to restrict the flow of blood from the erect penis in order to produce a stronger erection or to maintain an erection for a longer period of time. Genital adornment is another purpose, as is repositioning the genitals to provide an enhanced appearance. Cock rings are also called C rings, penis rings or shaft rings. When used in cases of erectile dysfunction (ED), they are known by various other names, such as erection rings and tension rings. Cock rings worn just behind the corona of the glans of the penis are known as glans rings, head rings or cock crowns. A ring that is worn around the penis and scrotum is also usually called a cock ring, but is sometimes referred to as a cock and ball ring. Rings that are worn just around the scrotum, in order to hold the testicles, are usually called testicle cuffs or ball stretchers.

Alolan Sandslash's typing just makes me sad. Ice is so horrible as a defensive type it actually worsens every Pokemon its slapped onto. Sure, its amazing offensively, but when almost every Water Type learns Ice Beam and Fairies taking over the Dragon killer niche that there is very little reason to ever use an Ice Type that has no special gimmick like Alolan Ninetales. Hope GameFreak gives the Ice typing resistances, to probably Water and Dragon.

It only dictates where a Pokemon can be used (ie if it is too broken for a tier). There are several instances where Pokemon rose up a few tiers because of a change in the meta game.

Whether he is good or not in competitive, this is one of my favorite pokemon because back when I played leaf green, I was just grinding in the tall grass and there I found a sandrew and I ran to my brother to ask him “what color is sandrew?” And he said a kind of yellowish. I replied “...this one is green” I used him throughout the game and sent him all the way through X and Y(never played sun an moon) unfortunately I lost my X and Y and so I lost him forever...but the memories will never fade.

Sandslash is a perfect example of a Pokemon that needs serious stat buffs to counteract the unrelenting power creep or an evolution were GF willing to do those anymore Statwise a buff to speed seems like it should be obvious especially with the connection to shrews which are one of the most extreme examples of life in the fast lane with only hummingbirds as any competition for the title. Even in that role Shrews take extreme to the next level with excellent sense of smell, echolocation and venom in addition to its hyper metabolism meaning it needs to hunt and kill a meal within an hour of its last or it will literally starve to death. Basically shrews are everything Sandslash isn't... really it probably should get speedboost as a shrew Pokemon in principal should be one of the fastest things in the game if it was represented accurately at all....

Coming back to this video, a word of advice about facing Lance the first time around in HGSS: Sand Veil + Bright Powder + Sand Storm = five turns of more or less ruining any chance of Dragon Rush hitting you, despite Lance spamming it. Sandslash can actually take one or two if there's a flub up. After Sandstorm goes up, just mass spam Shadow Claw and wear it down alongside the chip damage from Sandstorm while fishing for critical hits. I actually beat one Dragonite and dented another using this method before Sandslash fell. Give it a try sometime.

@@luiseduardo8806 It's glaring, but I forgot to also mention Sandslash being Pure Ground also helps with the fact at least one Dragonite carries Thunder and there's so much Thunder Wave spam from his team that blanking both only further drives Lance to spam Dragon Rush. With Bright Powder and Sand Veil/Snow Cloak, all moves operate at *72% of their normal Accuracy.* Ex. 100 Accuracy is now 72 Accuracy If I recall right, at least one Dragonite had either Ice Beam or Blizzard. I could be wrong there, so be careful. Look it up to be sure. Mamoswine could in theory run Snow Cloak with Hail for the same result with Bright Powder. It's got the natural bulk to make it function. But there is the consideration that Aqua Tail and any Fire moves from the Dragonites or Charizard make it harder to work out over Sandslash. Dugtrio doesn't have the bulk to make this work, so that's out.

Or you can sweep his whole team with a Miltank's Def Curl Rollout given the whole team hates Rock and Miltank outruns over half of his team(the Def curl also makes it so Intimidate doesn't turn your KOs into ranges)

One thing I've certainly noticed about these videos is that most Gen 1 mons have been thoroughly destroyed by power creep (even fairly early on), so whether or not that's the reason we've seen so much Kanto rebooting over the years I appreciate it giving the lovable mons that started it all at least a chance at redemption.

The gen 5 VGC team information is actually incorrect. I chose Sandslash over Excadrill because this was shortly after he got Sand Rush from the dream world. The correct team is T-tar, Garchomp, Cresselia, Ludicolo, Thundurus, and of course Sandslash. Sadly I wasn't really able to bring him into many games and honestly he did underperform compared to the rest of the team but I'm happy I was able to represent him a bit. I know this will probably die in the comments section but there's a tidbit of information for those that see this.

I used Sandslash in 4th Gen OU after Garchomp was banned to Ubers. Most players used Donphan at the time, but I found Sandslash speed made him a much better Rapid Spin-er and could even beat Donphan that was not running Seed Bomb, given his superior Speed stat and investment. After Sandslash received Sand Rush, he more exclusively became a Tyranitar killer for me, as he could easily out speed, even take a hit, and OHKO with Brick Break certain builds. He is definitely underpowered in today's OU with so many Ultra Beast, Megas, and former Ubers legendaries running around, but he is still a decent Pokemon if played right.
