Red and Blue Yellow Gold Silver Crystal
Burrows deep
underground in
arid locations
far from water.
It only emerges
to hunt for food.
Its body is dry.
When it gets cold
at night, its
hide is said to
become coated with
a fine dew.
If it fell from a
great height, this
POKéMON could save
itself by rolling
into a ball and
bouncing.
Disliking water,
it lives in deep
burrows in arid
areas. It can roll
itself instantly
into a ball.
It prefers dry,
sandy places
because it uses
the sand to
protect itself
when threatened.
