Basics
Sandile is a Ground/Dark-type Pokémon. Its 100% IV CP is 592 at level 20 (raids, eggs and research), 741 at weather-boosted level 25 and up to 1,172 at level 50. It is weak to Water/Grass/Ice/Fighting/Bug/Fairy attacks (1.6×). It resists Poison/Rock/Ghost/Dark/Electric/Psychic attacks. In raids, Bite + Dig is its strongest moveset (level 40, 100% IVs). It evolves into Krokorok with 25 Candy. As your buddy, it earns 1 Candy every 5 km you walk together.

Sandile's still not good at hunting, so it mostly eats things that have collapsed in the desert. It's called “the cleaner of the desert."
