From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Sandaconda (Japanese: サダイジャ Sadaija) is a Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.
It evolves from Silicobra starting at level 36. It also has a Gigantamax form.
Biology
Sandaconda uses it inflated sand pouch to protect its head from harm. The pouch can store up to 2220 pounds of sand for a time. The pouch is very elastic and thick to the point a Durant's pincers cannot harm it. Sandaconda can unleashing the sand stored within the pouch with tremendous force through the noise. By mixing the sand with pieces of gravel, it becomes very dangerous to the point simply being in contact of mixture will cause lacerations. White it may act tough and confident, it will become instantly timid and cowardly the moment it runs out of sand.[1]
When Gigantamxing, the sand overflows form the pouch and forms a ring around Sandaconda's neck. With the added addition of sand the surrounds it, about 1,000,000 tons of sand now spin around it. Sandaconda now resembles a humongous tornado. Gigantamax Sandaconda attacks its foes by spinning its body through high seeds. This in turn causes the sand to move at extreme speed. By increasing the sharp grit through rotation, Sandaconda can affect massive damages to anything that touches it. It also powerful enough to pulverize a skyscraper. [2]
Gigantamax Sandaconda is the only known Pokémon capable of using the exclusive G-Max Move G-Max Sandblast.
