(Japanese: サザンドラ Sazandora) is a dual-type Dark/Dragon pseudo-legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Jiheddo starting at level 64. It is the final form of Monozu.

Biology

Physiology

Sazandora is a Pokémon that resembles a Hydra. Sazandora has black tentacles on its back, similar to those of Giratina's Origin Forme. On Sazandora's neck is a pink flower-like collar which opens to its head. The main head is a dark blue and its eyes are brick red. Its hands, also black, harbor a head in each one; these heads are also blue with black eyes. There are small collars on the inside of Sazandora's hands. There are two overall-like pink lines on its underbody. Its feet have no nails, but are shaped like two-toed forks. Its tail also sports a pink stripe with a black tuft on the end of it.

Gender differences

None.

Diet

Sazandora's heads eat almost everything.

Trivia

• No other Pokémon share its type combination with Sazandora and its evolutionary line.
• Of all the Pokémon that evolve by level alone, Sazandora evolves from its pre-evolution later than any other Pokémon, at level 64.
• Sazandora has the highest Special Attack of all non-legendary Template:Type2 Pokémon.
  • Sazandora also has the highest Special Attack of all Pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

Origin

Sazandora and its evolutionary line may be based upon the Lernaean Hydra of Greek Mythology, a beast that grew two more heads in its place if one was severed.

Name origin

Both the sa and zan in Sazandora's name seem to come from 三 sa/san, or three, a reference to its three heads. The dora in Sazandora's name comes from dragon, hydra (a reference to its three heads in the form of a hydra's), or possibly King Ghidorah's name.
