Pokédex entries
| Black | They live buried in the sands of the desert. The sun-warmed sands prevent their body temperature from dropping. |
|---|---|
| White | It moves along below the sand’s surface, except for its nose and eyes. A dark membrane shields its eyes from the sun. |
| Black 2 White 2 | They live hidden under hot desert sands in order to keep their body temperature from dropping. |
| X Omega Ruby | It moves along below the sand’s surface, except for its nose and eyes. A dark membrane shields its eyes from the sun. |
| Y Alpha Sapphire | They live buried in the sands of the desert. The sun-warmed sands prevent their body temperature from dropping. |
| Sun | It submerges itself in sand and moves as if swimming. This wise behavior keeps its enemies from finding it and maintains its temperature. |
| Moon | It conceals itself in the sand and chomps down on the legs of any prey that unwarily walk over it. Its favorite food is Trapinch. |
| Ultra Sun | Alola, where it’s warm all year round, is a comfortable environment for this Pokémon. Sometimes you’ll even see it outside of deserts. |
| Ultra Moon | Sandile’s still not good at hunting, so it mostly eats things that have collapsed in the desert. It’s called “the cleaner of the desert.” |
