sandile

Base Flavor

black: They live buried in the sands of the desert. The sun-warmed sands prevent their body temperature from dropping.

white: It moves along below the sand’s surface, except for its nose and eyes. A dark membrane shields its eyes from the sun.

black-2: They live hidden under hot desert sands in order to keep their body temperature from dropping.

white-2: They live hidden under hot desert sands in order to keep their body temperature from dropping.

omega-ruby: It moves along below the sand’s surface, except for its nose and eyes. A dark membrane shields its eyes from the sun.

alpha-sapphire: They live buried in the sands of the desert. The sun-warmed sands prevent their body temperature from dropping.

sun: It submerges itself in sand and moves as if swimming. This wise behavior keeps its enemies from finding it and maintains its temperature.

moon: It conceals itself in the sand and chomps down on the legs of any prey that unwarily walk over it. Its favorite food is Trapinch.

ultra-sun: Alola, where it’s warm all year round, is a comfortable environment for this Pokémon. Sometimes you’ll even see it outside of deserts.

ultra-moon: Sandile’s still not good at hunting, so it mostly eats things that have collapsed in the desert. It’s called “the cleaner of the desert.”

sword: The desert gets cold at night, so when the sun sets, this Pokémon burrows deep into the sand and sleeps until sunrise.

shield: Sandile is small, but its legs and lower body are powerful. Pushing sand aside as it goes, Sandile moves through the desert as if it’s swimming.

Base Stats

Habitat

Abilities

• intimidate

  When this Pokémon enters battle, the opponent's Attack is lowered by one stage. In a double battle, both opponents are affected. This ability also takes effect when acquired during a battle, but will not take effect again if lost and reobtained without leaving battle. This ability has no effect on an opponent that has a substitute. Overworld: If the first Pokémon in the party has this ability, any random encounter with a Pokémon five or more levels lower than it has a 50% chance of being skipped.

• moxie

  This Pokémon's Attack rises one stage upon knocking out another Pokémon, even a friendly Pokémon. This ability does not take effect when the Pokémon indirectly causes another Pokémon to faint, e.g. through poison or spikes. If this Pokémon knocks out a Pokémon with mummy, the former's ability will change without taking effect.

• anger-point

  Whenever this Pokémon receives a critical hit, its Attack rises to the maximum of 6 stages. This ability will still take effect if the critical hit is received by a substitute.
