>>54546467Original Sandslash needs a buff for sure. It still doesn't have a third ability, which is weird. I don't know what it learned in older generations versus what I see in the updated list for SV, so I'm just going off of that
>Picks up Rough Skin or even Iron Barbs as a 3rd ability>Learns Spiky Shield, Iron Defense and Needle Arm by level up. Also gets back access to Pin Missile this time as a level up. Also give it Rototiller by level up, for flavor>Gains access to Trailblaze and Ice Spinner TMs>Steel Roller and Steamroller show up in its kit somehow>Scorching Sands comes back as a TM/Tutor>If we're crazy, give it Mortal Spin or Dire Claw but not both (it has access to Poison Sting and Jab, so the basis is there) as Egg Moves. Maybe even really out there shit as Egg Moves too, like Flame WheelThese are a lot of new moves, but some of them it had already got in previous generations. In SV, original Slash learns Knock Off, High Horsepower, Leech Life and Hone Claws too. I bet there's some scenario where you can set it up in Sand and then slowly start to snowball into a problem with an Assault Vest and Trailblaze, EQ/Horsepower, Knock Off and Leech Life.
