How Much Useful Is My Sandile?
Quadruped with a long snout and tail, Sandile is a short crocodile resembling Pokemon. Its body is mostly light brown with the exception of black stripes crossing over and under its legs and its pink underbelly. On its snout in front of its eyes it has a black stripe, and on the tip of its tail is a black covering. Its eyes resemble shaded binoculars and are shrouded in black all around their front. This black colored membrane helps Sandile see in the harsh and hot desert sun, also they prevent sand from getting in its eyes.
Sandile being a ground/ dark dual Pokemon is vulnerable to Fairy, Fighting, Ice, Grass, Water and Bug moves. When attacking Pokémon in Gyms, Mud-Slap and Crunch are the best moves for Sandile. Additionally, this move combination is the best moveset for PVP battles and has the highest total DPS also.
Well, do you think that the Sandile Evolution can suffice your needs in the game after going through its weakness, Moveset, stats, and more? If yes then you should run down to the Sandile Evolution!
But if still, you think that you may find some better Moveset, stats, and less unhealthy weakness with the help of evolution other than of Sandile, then Herald Journalism has information stocked for that purpose.
