Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Sandaconda is a ground-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 510 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 71) and a physical attacking profile. Its Sand Spit ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Sandaconda. Build around what Sandaconda actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
