Where to find Sandile

Sandile is not a wild encounter on any of the standard maps.

Sandile can hatch from a Dusk Egg or a Mirage Egg. Now and then an encounter on a map turns up an egg instead of a wild Pokémon, and which eggs a map can drop depends on its types. The Dusk Egg can drop on Black Forest, Haunted Mansion, Electricity Hub, Dark Town, Safari Zone, and Legend of Dawn. The Mirage Egg can drop on River Rafting, Desert Beach, Foggy Wastelands, and Wild Desert. Put the egg in an incubator to hatch it. See crafting and incubation.
