In-Depth Analysis
Sandaconda's 510 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Defense (125) carries most matchups, but a low Special Attack stat of 65 means careful positioning matters.
Its Ground typing leaves Sandaconda with 3 weaknesses against 2 resistances and 1 full immunity. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 5 types for super-effective damage.
A catch rate of 120 puts Sandaconda in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Defense +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
