Strategy Overview
Sandile's high Speed and Attack make it a threat to contend with in Little Cup. With Moxie boosting Sandile's Attack each time it scores a KO, it can quickly become an unstoppable threat. Sandile's movepool is just wide enough to succeed in the fast-paced Little Cup metagame. It can pose a threat to even bulky walls such as Munchlax, Frillish, and Bronzor, use Pursuit to trap Misdreavus and Abra, or even throw in Hone Claws to make it a decent set-up sweeper. Unfortunately, Sandile's awful defensive stats in conjunction with weaknesses to common Fighting- and Water-type moves makes it easy to take it down. Still, Sandile makes a fine addition to any team, and should not be underestimated.
