4th Gen Johto Safari Zone

[Neil Peart]

I have a quick question: I'm trying to find the Sandshrew that the warden needs to pass his test, but all I'm getting in the desert is Onix, Fearow, Magnemite and Magneton. I've been looking for a good hour and a half now.

Do you have to bear the E4 before you can find it or something? I'm trying to find a Larvitar as well.

well sandslash when you get in to the safari zone sandslash is in the grass right the near the start

 

[CrashSmAshley]

As soon as the Safari Zone is open you can do this. I haven't even gone to the Safari Zone yet though!

 

[Neil Peart]

I've been walking around for 2 hours now and no sign of either.

 

[Clefairies]

I haven't beated the E4 and I have completed the Warden's requirements.
Just keep looking, are you 100% sure you are in the desert area?
A sandshrew will show up eventually!!!

 

[Neil Peart]

How long did it take you guys to find?

 

[GoombaMuffins]

[SoulNuva]

You could be in the wrong area.

Anyway, it took me around 5 minutes to find and catch one.

Check the pics it really helps to let you know which area you're in.

 

[Torterrax]

It took me... 1 minute? xD

 

[bobandbill]

Yeah, check you are in the right area. If you were in the wrong one, take heart in the fact that you are not the first - I've seen others make that mistake. =P

And now I shall close. Any more questions, use the Help thread.
