Sandaconda is one of the best Pokemon in NU and provides teams with several forms of useful utility, including blocking Volt Switch, setting Stealth Rock, spreading paralysis, and sponging Knock Off. Shed Skin lets Sandaconda absorb status and, in combination with Rest, support its team and take on physical attackers like Toxicroak throughout the game. Stone Edge threatens Defoggers and Flying-types like Drifblim and Vivillon and hits Eelektross and Rotom neutrally. Rocky Helmet wears physical attackers like Passimian and Muk down and discourages the use of moves like U-turn, while Leftovers provides Sandaconda passive recovery and makes it less reliant on Rest. Tera Ghost lets Sandaconda completely wall most Fighting-types and other threats such as Zangoose. 80 Speed EVs allow Sandaconda to outrun Drifblim. Tera Dragon is another option that keeps Water- and Grass-types like Bruxish and Lurantis from immediately overwhelming Sandaconda.

Sandaconda can fit well on many different playstyles and will almost always do something for its team. Sandaconda's main flaw is its mediocre special bulk, which, coupled with its weakness to Eelektross's Giga Drain, means it shouldn't be a team's sole response to Electric-types. Pokemon like Chansey, Muk, and Umbreon can serve as backup checks to such foes and also check other special attackers like Cacturne and Zoroark. In addition, Chansey can run Stealth Rock for Sandaconda, thus allowing it to make room for both Glare and EdgeQuake coverage; Muk puts Sandaconda's grounded switch-ins on a timer with Toxic Spikes and annoys setup sweepers like Dudunsparce and Coil Eelektross with Haze; and Umbreon can keep Sandaconda healthy with Wish so it doesn't have to spend as much time asleep. Slower wallbreakers like Medicham and Clawitzer very much appreciate Glare slowing teams down and making them harder to play around.

Sandaconda is one the best Pokemon in NU and provides teams with several forms of useful utility, including blocking Volt Switch, setting Stealth Rock, spreading paralysis, and sponging Knock Off. Shed Skin also lets Sandaconda absorb status and, in combination with Rest, support its team and take on physical attackers like Toxicroak throughout the game. Given all of this information, Sandaconda can fit well on many different playstyles and will almost always do something for its team. Stone Edge threatens Defoggers and Flying-types like Drifblim and Vivillon and hits Eelektross and Rotom neutrally. Rocky Helmet wears physical attackers like Passimian and Muk down and discourages the use of moves like U-turn, while Leftovers provides Sandaconda passive recovery and makes it less reliant on Rest. Tera Dragon keeps Water- and Grass-types like Barraskewda and Lurantis from immediately overwhelming Sandaconda. Tera Ghost is another option that lets Sandaconda completely wall most Fighting-types and other threats such as Zangoose. 80 Speed EVs allow Sandaconda to outrun Drifblim.
