Taking into account the glasses design and the word "megane" the name is most likely a pun off of "meganekko" or glasses girls. 目黒子 (''meguroko'': Black-eyed child) with 目 (''me'') meaning eyes, 黒 (''kuro'') meaning black, and 子 (''ko'') meaning child.--[[User:Psychogurl|Psychogurl]] 00:12, 29 August 2010 (UTC) | Taking into account the glasses design and the word "megane" the name is most likely a pun off of "meganekko" or glasses girls. 目黒子 (''meguroko'': Black-eyed child) with 目 (''me'') meaning eyes, 黒 (''kuro'') meaning black, and 子 (''ko'') meaning child.--[[User:Psychogurl|Psychogurl]] 00:12, 29 August 2010 (UTC) | ||

Ability
Meguroko's ability is actually called Earthquake Spiral. Every time Meguroko defeats a foe it gets more and more powerful. - unsigned comment from gendrgar000 (talk • contribs)
- I think Overconfident is just a different translation or Earthquake Spiral. If you get more confident, don't you feel like you could do better? Also, please remember to sign your comments with ~~~~. Turtwig's A-B-Cs (talk | contribs) 15:26, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
earthquake spiral doesn't even make any sense.... (Ataro 15:30, 27 June 2010 (UTC)) yeah "Earthquake Spiral' sounds like an attack. how can people actually say that it's not overconfidence?Vkickass 00:01, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
Physiology for the admins to implement
Meguroko is a primarily tan-colored, quadruped crocodilian Pokémon, having a long snout as typical of crocodilians, and a thick black stripe on the bridge. Meguroko’s eyes are round and sepia-colored, with a circular pattern of black around them stretching between each eye, giving the impression of an archetypical robber’s mask or a pair of glasses, with the ridges surrounding the eyes being large and protruding. Two thick black stripes are present down Meguroko’s back, stretching to its pink-colored underside and encompassing its tan-colored limbs, which sport three claws each that are also black; additionally, its tapered tail is tipped with the color.

Origin
I'd like to point out this species as a partial design influence, particularly the "eyeglasses". Also, the word for spectacles (megane) is a more likely name origin than "eye".--Kaoz 01:27, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
Taking into account the glasses design and the word "megane" the name is most likely a pun off of "meganekko" or glasses girls. 目黒子 (meguroko: Black-eyed child) with 目 (me) meaning eyes, 黒 (kuro) meaning black, and 子 (ko) meaning child.--Psychogurl 00:12, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
It's most likely that the appearance of Sandile, like Totodile, is based on a cartoon crocodile. It's striped pattern are also found on some crocodilian species.Bennell 13:31, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
Unique typing?
Maybe it'd be relevant in the trivia to mention that as of now (barring any evolution with a similar typing, of course), Meguroko would be the only dark/ground poke'mon?--The Great Ratsby 02:42, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
The only known Dark/Ground Pokémon. But keep in mind that Black and White might introduce other Dark/Ground Pokémon. I think we should probably leave it out since if it turns out there are more we'd have wasted time. Absolution 09:27, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
I'd like to note that Meguroko was the first Pokémon with a unique typing revealed in G5. If it is unique, that is. --Element03 00:55, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
- That's incorrect, though. Reshiram and Zekrom have unique type combinations too, and I believe they were revealed earlier. --ZestyCactus 01:24, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
- Oh right, I forgot about them. My mistake. --Element03 05:58, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
- Well, Reshiram and Zekrom themselves were revealed earlier, but their typing was not, so Meguroko was the first Gen V Pokémon known to have a unique typing (assuming that all these guys have unique typings that it). Jas61292 03:56, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
- Oh right, I forgot about them. My mistake. --Element03 05:58, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
Sprite
Can we have it's sprite added to the page? --SnorlaxMonster 03:42, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
Evolution
Evolves to Warubiru, a humanoid crocodile.
It also further evolves to Warubiaru, appareance unknown as of yet, though.Gochiruzeru 19:05, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
- yes, we know it will be added when it's added..Ataro 19:13, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Anime.
The article says that Meguroko is "set to appear" but it appears already and the episode already aired. BW003. "☆AngelGuardian☆" 07:17, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- BTW, Shouldn't all the rest gen V Pokés be unprotected now? Seriously, June 2011 is somewhat an exaggerated date...--でんのう ☢ Zえんし 07:23, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
Yeah.. i can't wait to edit a lot of those articles.. "☆AngelGuardian☆" 09:52, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
- Make a list of them on the forums and they will be unprotected. --SnorlaxMonster 11:38, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Trivia
So, I've been thinking about this for a while and considering whether or not it was actual trivia, so I figure that I should just ask. The moves naturally learned match the striping on Sandile. Trivia? Yes I know it's not consistent and it's not really that important. Rucario64 20:50, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
