[Iron]

This Sandshrew is a pretty good encounter for Nathan, 'cause as he gets close he notices its hide seems to be made out of the gray bas-relief bricks of historical scenes that are so beloved in Cress City! Oh, and it's also shedding glimmering scales at it walks - IT'S SHINY! In the old Gen II style, a gray Sandshrew.

Nathan isn't sure yet what type it is. Ground is a possibility, because it is walking near its hole, with frequent glances around to make sure everything is safe.

Stealth: (6)(2)(4)(6)(4)(4) (2)(5)(5)(6)(1) = 8 successes
2 Insight + 4 Survival + 4 alert
(6)(4)(4)(5)(1)(5) (1)(3)(2)(5) = 5 successes.

With supernatural grace brought on by his holographic Badges, Nathan sneaks up on the wary Sandshrew. You can make a free attack, though if you're summoning a super non-sneaky Pokemon I might reroll. I think only Carvanha would qualify from your current party.
