| Scarlet | It will expand its body as much as it can and then contract itself, blasting out sand with enough force to wash away a dump truck. |
| Violet | The sand it spews contains sharp, pointy gravel, which is actually just sand that Sandaconda’s saliva has hardened into irregular shapes. |
Gigantamax
