|gender=Male<ref>Confirmed via [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences.]]</ref>

'''Sandy''' (Japanese: '''ナギサ''' ''Nagisa'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Lana}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Alola]] [[region]], and her third overall.

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''====

=====As a wild Pokémon=====

Sandy first appeared in {{DL|Where Are You Going, Eevee?|Episode 1|the first episode}} of the [[Where Are You Going, Eevee?]] shorts. He was exploring in the streets of a town, only to run afoul a {{p|Houndour}} when he stole its food. He managed to escape Houndour, and after seeing the ocean, he set sail on a boat. He reappeared in {{DL|Where Are You Going, Eevee?|Episode 2|the second episode}} of the segment, where he fell off the boat. However, he was rescued by a {{OBP|Mantine|recurring}}, which took Eevee on its back so it could bring him to the shore.

In {{DL|Where Are You Going, Eevee?|Episode 5|the fifth episode}} of the segment, Eevee encountered {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}}' Pokémon for the first time and befriended them. In {{DL|Where Are You Going, Eevee?|Episode 6|the sixth episode}}, Eevee played with them at the beach and even helped knock some Berries down from a tree to share with them. At sunset, the other Pokémon returned to their respective Trainers, while Eevee sadly returned to his impromptu home under a tree trunk to sleep.

In ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]'', Eevee wanted to see his new friends again, so he wandered around [[Hau'oli City]], and eventually ended up getting chased by an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Persian}} [[nickname]]d Pershie. After being rescued by [[Lana's Popplio]], both ended up falling into a river and washed up on the Hau'oli City Beachfront, where they encountered {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s [[Tupp]], [[Rapp]], and [[Zipp]]. Tupp and Rapp began fighting over Eevee, as the former wanted Eevee to make him popular with girls while the latter found Eevee to be cute. They were stopped when {{an|Lana}} and her friends arrived. With its newly learned {{m|Surf}}, Popplio created a platform of water for Eevee to jump on, allowing him to use a powerful {{m|Double-Edge}} and send the {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s blasting off. After some encouragement from her classmates, Lana asked Eevee if he wanted to join her team, which he happily accepted. Eevee was [[Nickname|named]] Sandy and {{pkmn2|caught}} in a [[Dive Ball]]. After returning home and introducing Sandy to her family, Lana gave Sandy a haircut, cutting his long bangs to a shorter length resembling her own hair. This got rid of the hair that kept blocking his vision, much to Sandy's pleasure.

=====With Lana=====

In ''[[SM117|Drawn with the Wind!]]'', Sandy joined Lana and her classmates during their two-day trip to [[Malie City]]. Soon after their arrival, Sandy started curiously exploring his surroundings and even absentmindedly tried to cross a road, requiring {{TP|Mallow|Shaymin}} to save him from getting hit by a car. During the group's visit to [[Malie Garden]], Sandy let [[Ash's Meltan]] ride on his back. Later, when Mallow's hair ornament was blown away by the wind and Shaymin chased after it, Sandy and Meltan followed. After Sandy and Meltan helped Shaymin recover the hair ornament, the three Pokémon were imprisoned by {{TRT}}. The metal cage was too sturdy for Sandy's {{m|Tackle}} to break through, but thanks to Meltan's ability to eat metal, the three Pokémon were able to get out. Team Rocket then sent out their Pokémon, and Sandy started battling [[James's Mareanie]], but wound up being {{status|poison}}ed by her {{m|Sludge Bomb}}. However, Lana, Ash, and Mallow intervened, while Shaymin used {{m|Aromatherapy}} to heal Sandy of his poison. Following this, Meltan and Sandy were able to defeat Mareanie with a combination of {{m|Headbutt}} and Double-Edge.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====

In ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]'', Sandy helped rescued [[Goh's Raboot]] from drowning after it and [[Goh]] fell into the sea. Later, Sandy watched the battle between Kiawe and Goh.

In [[JN112]], Sandy attended a party to celebrate the return of Lillie and her family after they found [[Mohn]]. During the party, he met [[Chloe]] and her {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}}, whom Sandy quickly befriended.

Sandy is adventurous and gluttonous, which has sometimes gotten him into trouble. For example, when he ate a Houndour's food without permission, the Houndour was angered and chased him off. Sandy is also extremely playful, like when he enjoyed falling into the ocean after falling off Mantine when he was [[Mantine Surf]]ing. However, he is also easily scared as well, such as when he ran from a Houndour and later when he found himself lost at sea.

Sandy is particularly playful towards new Pokémon, but he is also prone to roughhousing in the process, greeting friends old and new with a hearty {{m|Tackle}}. As a result, he tends to get into trouble. In {{DL|Where Are You Going, Eevee?|Episode 4|the fourth episode}} of the segment, he chased after a {{p|Wimpod}} despite it actually being scared. In {{DL|Where Are You Going, Eevee?|Episode 5|the fifth episode}} of the segment, Sandy cuddled a {{p|Pyukumuku}}, inadvertently angering it into attacking.

Sandy and {{TP|Lana|Primarina}}, while it was a Popplio, quickly became best friends after meeting each other, and Sandy appears to look up to it like an older sibling. In ''[[SM106|Evolving Research!]]'', he was seen enthusiastically mimicking Popplio as it was training with [[Ida]]'s {{p|Primarina}}, singing along with the master and its disciple. In ''[[SM134|The Road to The Semifinals!]]'', he cheered Primarina on during the [[Manalo Conference]] and angrily growled at [[Guzma]] when his {{p|Golisopod}} hurt Primarina. Sandy quickly became loyal to Lana and bonded with her right away, after she helped protect him from Team Skull.

Sandy cares for his friends even in dire situations, such as changing to a slow pace so that he could run beside Popplio as they ran away from a {{tc|Madame}}'s {{p|Persian}}, Pershie. Also, when his friend {{OBP|Mantine|recurring}} and the Poké Ride {{p|Mantine}} were captured by Team Rocket in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', he was the first to rush in and help. In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', Sandy was revealed to love the taste of [[Poni Island]] radishes. Sandy also loves the ocean and enjoys playing in it no matter what the activity. Sandy is very curious and absentminded, to the point where he was almost hit by a car in ''[[SM117|Drawn with the Wind!]]'' while attempting to cross a road, as well as rushing in the middle of an Eevee procession and mistaking a {{p|Swablu}} statue for the actual Pokémon.
