物語The Story
What the Pokédex says
- Shield
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.
- Sword
It loves to bathe in the grit of dry, sandy areas. By sand bathing, the Pokémon rids itself of dirt and moisture clinging to its body.
- Let’s Go, Eevee!
Its body is dry. When it gets cold at night, its hide is said to become coated with a fine dew.
- Ultra Moon
When its skin gets wrinkled from moisture, it heads for a volcano. It lies flat on a spot with a lot of geothermal heat and dries itself out.
