fun fact: until october 2021 I had never ever seen an alolan sandshrew or sandslash
so when I hatched a shiny one in pokemon go I got surprised that sandshrew even had an alolan form
i’ll always cherish the memory of discovering that form via a lucky shiny hatch
also, another fun fact: sandshrew community day happened on my birthday. an event for my favorite pokemon on my birthday, how cool is that?
