Hippopotas

It shuts its nostrils tight then travels through sand as if walking. They form colonies of around 10.

It moves through the sands with its mouth open, swallowing sand along with its prey. It gets rid of the sand by spouting it from its nose.

This Pokémon is active during the day and passes the cold desert nights burrowed snugly into the sand.

Though large and languid, Hippopotas is difficult to detect due to its tendency to burrow into and lurk beneath the soil. When agitated or excited, it expels sand from its nostrils.
