Stats and Stat Score
Sandile has 92 HP, 105 speed and a 1.10x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.
Compared with the whole roster, its HP is among the lowest on the roster, its speed is about average and its attack is below average. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 40.1, which puts it at rank 653 overall, rank 100 of 141 among Unova Pokemon and rank 50 of 70 Ground-types and 51 of 60 Dark-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

Sandile moves
Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Sandile starts every run with Mud Shot: splashes mud around and slows foes.
The level-up cards can then offer 15 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 7 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.
- Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
- Ground moves: Mud Shot, Bulldoze, Bonemerang, Spikes
- Dark moves: Bite, Dark Pulse, Night Shade
Weaknesses and resistances
Sandile takes extra damage from Water (1.6x), Grass (1.6x), Ice (1.6x), Fighting (1.6x), Bug (1.6x), and Fairy (1.6x). It resists Electric (0.3x), Psychic (0.3x), Poison (0.6x), Rock (0.6x), Ghost (0.6x), and Dark (0.6x). The remaining 6 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.
The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Sandile are the ones whose first type is Water, Grass, Ice, Fighting, Bug, or Fairy. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Ground or Dark moves do not hit harder just because Sandile shares the type.
How to get Sandile
Sandile is part of the Unova banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (45% for Common) and then picks one of the 36 Common Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Sandile a 1.25% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 80 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.
A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 15 coins, or 45 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.
A rarity-1 Pokemon like Sandile can also turn up as the Lost Pokemon event in a run. Lead it to the marker and, one time in five, it joins your collection; you always get coins, a ticket and a heal.
Shiny Sandile exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.
Sandile as an enemy
Sandile can show up as a regular enemy from 0:00 into the run (enemy tier 1). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.
Its enemy role is jumper: it leaps onto your position every few seconds once you are close.
