What are Alolan Sandshrew's base stats in-game?

Alolan Sandshrew has Attack 125, Defence 129, Stamina 137. Types: Ice / Steel. Max CP: 1,479.

How is Alolan Sandshrew different from the standard form?

The variant has different typing (Ice / Steel) and rebalanced base stats. This typically shifts its raid and PvP role — for example, regional variants often trade Speed for bulk and swap one type for a niche typing like Ice, Steel, or Ghost. Check the recommended movesets above to see how Hundo Hunter ranks it.

Can Alolan Sandshrew appear in raids?

Yes — most regional variants rotate through raids during themed events (Spotlight Hours, GO Fest, Tour seasons). When Alolan Sandshrew is a raid boss, the catch CP range above tells you whether your catch is a hundo. Standard raid (L20) is the floor; weather-boosted (L25) raises the whole range.

Where can Alolan Sandshrew be found?

Alolan Sandshrew is associated with the Alola region in the main series. In-game, regional variants appear via raids, eggs, Field Research breakthroughs, and limited-time event spawns rather than being geographically locked the way classic regional exclusives (Heracross, Tropius) are.

Does Alolan Sandshrew have a separate hundo CP from the standard form?

Yes. Different base stats produce different CP at the same level + IVs. Alolan Sandshrew's raid catch hundo CP is the value shown in the card above (1,479 at L40) — separate from the standard form's number. Always check the variant table when planning a hundo hunt.
