Sandaconda

Sandaconda has no published standing in the ranked singles ladder this month (usagePct 0, rank unavailable). Across all formats it reaches only 0.23%, well below the threshold where a Pokémon is treated as a stable option. The 363 raw appearances cluster around hazard-setting, Glare pivoting, and sand-summoning utility, none of which translates into a defined role at competitive rating.

In doubles Sandaconda is a fringe pick at 0.02% usage and rank 242. Sand Veil is the defining trait at 86.7%, paired with Bright Powder at 84.3% and the Minimize / Iron Defense / Body Press core to turn it into a long-game nuisance. In this metagame the central sand abusers such as Mega Charizard X define the archetype, and Sandaconda plays only a supporting role around them.

Playstyle：The doubles role is a sand-veil disruption tank. Bright Powder stacks with Sand Veil for evasion, Minimize compounds that further, and Body Press or High Horsepower punishes weakened targets once it has survived. The choice rate is highly concentrated: 84.3% Bright Powder, 86.7% Sand Veil. Careful with max special defense (52.8%) suits partners like Mega Tyranitar (17.6%) and Sinistcha (15.8%), who also benefit from drawn-out exchanges.
