PvE Analysis

PvP Analysis

Best

Mud Shot + Rock Slide and Sand Tomb 

Mud Shot is recommended for its high energy generation, letting Sandshrew spam its Charge Moves more often. Sand Attack loses a bit of Energy Generation, but trades it for higher raw damage output. 

Rock Slide provides useful Rock-type coverage with a moderate energy cost. Sand Tomb is chosen for its lesser energy cost and debuff utility, though its damage output is very lackluster. Dig is a terrible move for its insane energy cost. 

Great League

Ultra League

Sandshrew approaches the CP cap of Great League, reaching 1443 CP when it's your Best Buddy. Unfortunately it still lacks stats to be viable against the meta, and the lack of decent Ground-type damage is rather unfortunate.

Master League

Don't use your Sandshrew maybe?
