Sandile is among the rarest species in Pokemon Go, so here’s everything you need to know to get it in the mobile game, including how to evolve it and its shiny availability.

Pokemon Go features species from all generations, and seasonal rotations put the spotlight on different Pokemon from time to time. However, some creatures are harder to get than others, and some species are considered among the rarest to catch in Pokemon Go.

Sandile is one of the said species, as players don’t have many ways to capture it in Pokemon Go. So, we’ll cover everything you need to catch Sandile in Pokemon Go, including its evolution and shiny chances.

How to catch Sandile in Pokemon Go

The only way to get Sandile in Pokemon Go is by hatching it from 12km Eggs. These special Eggs are rewards for defeating the Team Go Rocket Leaders Cliff, Sierra, and Arlo, and they have a reserved space in your inventory. It’s worth noting that Giovanni doesn’t reward players with an Egg when defeated.

The 12km Eggs are very sought-after items, as they are the only means to get the rarest species in the game, like Pawniard, Pancham, and Salandit.

Sandile evolves into Krokorok with 25 Candy, and Krokorok then evolves into Krookodile with 100 Candy in Pokemon Go.

The whole Sandile line is Ground/Dark-type in the Pokemon franchise, which is an interesting combination with some uses in PvP and PvE. However, most trainers just want Sandile to complete the Pokedex.

Can Sandile be shiny in Pokemon Go?

Shiny Sandile will debut in Pokemon Go on Wednesday, March 27, 2024, thanks to the World of Wonders Taken Over event. Players hatching 12km Eggs after the Team Go Rocket event will have a chance of getting shiny Sandile.
