Sandile largely resembles a crocodile. It has what appears to be a black stripe near its eyes in the appearance of a mask, and is mainly a light tanish brown with black striped through its body. On its belly it can be noted that a pink replaces the tan shade, though the stripes continue regularly. It has four legs, a short tail, and three claws to each foot. Its eyes don't seem to have any sort of coloring besides black, and it has large nostrils. No teeth show when its mouth is closed. |

Trivia
- This Pokémon was revealed along with six other Pokémon in July's issue of CoroCoro on June 11, 2010.
- No other Pokémon shares the same type combination as Sandile apart from its evolutions.
- Sandile and its two evolutionary forms are the second Pokémon family based on a crocodile; the first being Totodile and its evolutionary forms.
Origin
Sandile is based on a baby crocodile. Perhaps more specifically, a Nile crocodile or a literal interpretation of the mugger crocodile, an actual species of crocodile.
Etymology
Sandile's name comes from the words "sand" (since it lives in sandy deserts and is colored like it) and the last four letters in "crocodile".
Sandile's Japanese name may be a combination of 目 me (eye), 黑 guro (black), and 子 ko (child), due to it being black-eyed.
