Sandaconda uses its inflated sand pouch to protect its head from harm. The pouch can store up to 220 pounds (100 kilograms) of sand, and is very elastic and thick to the point where a {{p|Durant}}'s pincers cannot harm it. Sandaconda can contract its body to spray the sand stored in the pouch through its nose with tremendous force, and its unique method of coiling allows it to blast its sand more efficiently. Some of the sand is combined with Sandaconda's own saliva to form sharp pieces of gravel, making it so dangerous that just coming in contact with it will cause lacerations. While Sandaconda may act tough and confident, it will become timid and cowardly the moment it runs out of sand.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/sandaconda/ Sandaconda | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> Sandaconda is known to eat {{p|Durant}} eggs.

===Forms===
As [[Gigantamax]] Sandaconda, it becomes larger and stands on its tail like a cobra. Its body, decorated by brown and black diamond markings, has coiled in a spiral that resembles a tornado, with its head and neck in the middle. Masses of mottled brown sand overflows from its neck pouch and swirls around it, exceeding 1,000,000 tons in weight. Three red clouds float above its head and its eye color changes to bright red. Gigantamax Sandaconda attacks by spinning its body at high speeds, causing the sand to move at incredible speeds and inflicting massive damage to anything that touches it, even a skyscraper.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-sandaconda/ Gigantamax Sandaconda | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>
