Description

Burrows deep underground in arid locations far from water. It only emerges to hunt for food.

Disliking water, it lives in deep burrows in arid areas. It can roll itself instantly into a ball.

If it fell from a great height, this Pokémon could save itself by rolling into a ball and bouncing.

It burrows and lives underground. If threatened, it curls itself up into a ball for protection.

It burrows into the ground to create its nest. If hard stones impede its tunneling, it uses its sharp claws to shatter them and then carries on digging.
