Offensive Moves Explanation
-
Mud Shot is superior to Metal Claw for STAB and general type effectiveness.
-
Bulldoze is slightly superior to Earthquake for weave DPS, but both are optimal for Sandslash.
- Rock Tomb is a poor move in itself and lacks STAB or synergy with Sandslash’s fast moves.
Defensive Moves Explanation
-
Metal Claw has slightly better defensive DPS than Mud Shot.
-
All of Sandslash’s charge moves are easily reactable, but Rock Tomb at least has coverage against some Sandslash counters.
- Bulldoze is superior to Earthquake for the lower energy cost.
Rating Explanation
On offense, Groudon dwarfs every Ground-type. On defense, Sandslash is hampered by poor fast moves, common weaknesses, and unimpressive stats.
