==Biology==
'''Sandile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メグロコ''' ''Meguroco'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].
===Physiology===


====Gender differences====
It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Krokorok}} starting at [[level]] 29, which evolves into {{p|Krookodile}} starting at level 40.


===Special abilities===
==Biology==
Sandile is a short, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long snout and tail. Its body is mostly light brown with the exception of black stripes crossing over and under its legs and its pink underbelly. It has a black stripe on its snout in front of its eyes, and black covering the tip of its tail. Its eyes resemble shaded binoculars and are shrouded in a black membrane all around their front. This membrane prevents sand from getting in Sandile's eyes and helps it see in the harsh desert sun. Its long snout is tipped by two protruding nostrils, and its mouth comprises the bottom half. Its feet are flat and contain three sharp, black claws. They are attached to stubby legs on its sides.


===Behavior===
Sandile is only found in deserts, with the exception of [[Alola]], where the warm environment is comfortable enough for them to appear elsewhere. It usually burrows under the surface of the sand, with only its nose and eyes appearing above ground. Due to being so close to the surface, it can move around the desert and allow the heat of the sand to regulate its body temperature. This also serves as a way of hiding from enemies. Its movement through sand has been described as being similar to swimming. When the sun sets, it burrows deep into the sand to sleep until sunrise. As seen [[BW003|in the anime]], in the wild, Sandile can be mischievous and potentially troublesome to humans. However, Sandile will protect another of its species, and can be caring at times. Sandile is an ambush predator, hiding under the sand and waiting for unwary prey, such as {{p|Trapinch}}, to walk over it before it bites on their legs. However, Sandile is not very skilled at hunting prey, thus it also mostly eats anything that collapses in the desert; hence it has been known as "the cleaner of the desert."

==Trivia==
==Trivia==


===Origin===
===Origin===
Meguroko seems to be based on a {{wp|crocodile}}.
Sandile seems to be based on a baby {{wp|crocodile}}; specifically, it has traits from both the {{wp|Mecistops|slender-snouted crocodile}} and the {{wp|Nile crocodile}}. The stripes are similar to a stereotypical burglar, with the marking around the eyes resembling a mask or sunglasses. Sandile's movement through sand being described as similar to swimming may reference the {{wp|Scincus scincus|sandfish skink}}, named so because it is capable of burrowing and moving through sand as if it is swimming.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
''Meguroko'' may be a combination of 目 ''me'', eye, and ''croco''dile.
Sandile may be a combination of ''{{wp|sand}}'', ''{{wp|crocodile}}'', and possibly a play on ''sandal'' (footwear).
 
Meguroco may be a combination of 目黒 ''meguro'' (black-eyed) and ''crocodile''.
