- Ground Attacker:

⚔️ Raids
Sandaconda is a pure Ground-type Pokémon and the evolved form of Silicobra. Sandaconda has a strange mixed stat spread, where both its Attack and Defense stats are high but not high enough to be noteworthy. As such, many other Ground-type Pokémon outperform Sandaconda in terms of damage output and overall performance.

Despite a respectable 3155 max CP and decent overall stat product in the main leagues, Sandaconda is unlikely to ever perform exceptionally well in any of the three main metas. The reason for this is twofold: Firstly, it's a pure Ground-type with an almost entirely Ground-type movepool, as such it is very inflexible and predictable. The other major issue is that despite the overall stat product, Sandaconda's actual stat spread is rather awkward. Its mixed stat makes it neither offensive nor defensive, making it not have a definite role or niche it can fill in a team.
