On Shovelsaurus.
Shovelsaurus spends its life underground, carving tunnels through old ruins and bedrock with the broad blade of its tail. In a fight it does the same thing it always does: digs in, roots down, and dares anything to try to move it.
It is the pal trainers build a defense around. Nothing flashy — it simply refuses to give ground, raising cover and surfacing buried resources while the rest of the team does the scoring. Patient trainers love it; impatient opponents hate it.
