Pokédex entries

Sword	As it digs, it swallows sand and stores it in its neck pouch. The pouch can hold more than 17 pounds of sand.
Shield	It spews sand from its nostrils. While the enemy is blinded, it burrows into the ground to hide.
Scarlet	Silicobra’s neck pouch, which can inflate and deflate like a balloon, gets more elastic each time Silicobra sheds its skin.
Violet	Silicobra’s large nostrils are specialized for spraying sand, so this Pokémon is not very good at telling apart different smells.
