Biology

Biology · 1 form

Sandaconda is an anaconda-like Pokémon with a large sand pouch on its neck. This pouch is so thick that a Durant's mandibles cannot pierce through it. It expels the sand stored inside through its nostrils at high pressure, similarly to a double-barreled shotgun.

Gigantamax Sandaconda

GroundSand Spit Shed Skin Sand Veil

BST 510

When Gigantamaxed, Sandaconda's body coils up in the shape of a tornado, standing on the tip of its tail, and it attacks by spinning the sand around its body. Its body has diamond-shaped markings, and the pouch of sand around its neck has become so large that the sand within has overflowed and forms a ring around its neck. Its signature G-Max Move is G-Max Sandblast.
