Short-tempered and easily moved to violence. It whips up whirlwinds of sand to crush its foes' spirits, then goes in for the attack.
When roused to violence by its rage, it spews out the quantities of sand it has swallowed and whips up a sandstorm.
Stones can get stuck in the ports on their bodies. Dwebble help dislodge such stones, so Hippowdon look after these Pokémon.
It brandishes its gaping mouth in a display of fearsome strength. It raises vast quantities of sand while attacking.
It is surprisingly quick to anger. It holds its mouth agape as a display of its strength.
Its huge mouth is almost seven feet across. It has enough power to completely crush a car.
