Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob’s twenty-eighth lesson on Pokémon biology. Today, we will be discussing Sandshrew's evolved form Sandslash: the... you guessed it... Mouse Pokémon. This incredibly resilient creature is capable of living in a wide variety of environments, including the icy mountains of Alola. So like Sandshrew, Sandslash also has a steel/ice type Alolan variant. And to help us discuss the Alolan Sandslash, we have a special guest professor: Prof. Lucas Palm from the Alola region! Prof. Palm is an expert on Alolan variants and a former colleague of Prof. Jacob, so his knowledge is very crucial for today's lesson. Special thanks to Lucas from Pokescience for joining us on today's episode! Please check out his podcast! Welcome to the World of Pokémon is part of the Poke Casters Network.
