Is Sandslash worth hunting?
Among the 25 Pokémon in the level 60 hunt, Sandslash ranks 3th for loot per kill — 6% above the level's median.
Its loot-to-XP ratio sits close to the level median — neither a money hunt nor a pure XP hunt, it serves both at a similar pace.
59% of all loot comes from a single item: Earth Stone. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.
The rare drop worth waiting for is Earth Stone (5,000 at the NPC), at 0.88% chance — on average one every 113 kills.
For XP it ranks 2 of 25 at this level — 2,168 per kill.
