Thanks GameFreak, we really needed another slow bulky Ice type down there in PU

I doubt it'll be worse than regular Sandslash simply because of all the resistances.
People tend to focus too much on weaknesses and overlook resistances. Celebi is weak to 7 types, but the 6 it resists mak it a decent Pokemon.
Conversely, Spiritomb and Sableye only have one one weakness (Fairy), but they also only have one resistance, and it's to Poison.

depends if it's still able to learn stealth rocks it may see some use otherwise not even steel typing will save it

>depends if it's still able to learn stealth rocks
That's a given considering just about every Ground or Steel-type can learn Stealth Rock.

>Sandshrew have historically lived in desert areas. But the frequent eruptions of nearby volcanoes drove the Sandshrew to abandon the desert and migrate to snowy mountains, where they took on this form.
Two choices: Stay in the desert and get burned to death by lava or move to the snowy mountains

You failed to mention that both the Fire and Fighting weaknesses are 4x.

Well see there's your problem. GameFreak doesn't know about your imaginary tiers.
>>27727629
Whether a weakness is 2x or 4x rarely makes much of a difference.
>>27727649
It's never going to get any use in Battle Spot or VGC either, so fuck off.
>>27727649
Game Freak also doesn't know of about 90% of the Pokedex.
