Sapphire：

Generation VII
Sun：

Ultra Sun：
Its claws and horns often break off. The broken claws and horns can be used to carve plows for tilling farm fields.

Thanks to its thick claws, it’s good at climbing trees. There are plenty of Sandslash that park themselves in trees and go right to sleep.
Let's Go Pikachu：

Generation VIII
Sword：
The drier the area Sandslash lives in, the harder and smoother the Pokémon’s spikes will feel when touched.
Shield：
It climbs trees by hooking on with its sharp claws. Sandslash shares the berries it gathers, dropping them down to Sandshrew waiting below the tree.
