Its story
Lifestyle
It inflates its pouch to shield its head and, by contracting, blasts sand out through its nose. Tough while it has sand and timid without, it evolves from Silicobra.
In the anime
In the animated series, Lyla's Sandaconda battles Goh and Gary alongside Sterling's Runerigus, then loses to Blastoise and Cinderace.
Name origin
The design draws on the anaconda, desert snakes, the ball python, spitting cobras, and a double-barreled gun. Sandaconda may combine sand and anaconda. Its Gigantamax form suggests a dust devil.
Did you know?
- Its pouch holds over 220 pounds of sand; a Durant's pincers cannot pierce it.
- Sand mixed with its saliva becomes sharp gravel that lacerates on contact.
- In Gigantamax form, over a million tons of sand swirl around it and can wreck a skyscraper.
