Trivia
Origin
Sandaconda's design is based on an anaconda and other kinds of desert dwelling snakes such as sidewinders or rattlesnakes. Its nose also resembles a double-barrel gun, as it shoots sand from it at high speeds.
Its Gigantamax Form is based on a tornado or dust devil.
Etymology
Its name is a combination of the words sand and anaconda.
