Where to find Silicobra & Sandaconda in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Among the many Generation 8 Pokemon returning in Scarlet & Violet is the Sand Snake Silicobra and its evolution Sandaconda. Here’s how players can find these two Ground-types in the Paldea region.

The Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Pokedex includes plenty of Pokemon from the previous Generations, such as Indeedee, Snom, and Hatterene just to name a few.

One of the many returning Pokemon from Sword & Shield is Silicobra and its evolution Sandaconda, who was one of the few Pokemon to receive a Gigantamax form in those games.

While Sandaconda can’t Gigantimax in the Paldea region, it is still a bulky Ground-type that could make for a powerful addition to any team. Here’s everything trainers need to know about finding these Sand Snakes in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.

True to its Ground typing, Silicobra is only found in arid, desert areas around Paldea. There are two main locations where trainers can find Silicobra in the wild: Asado Desert in the west or East Province (Area Three).

However, it’s important to note that players will need to sneak up on Silicobra first by pressing the B button. If trainers startle Silicobra and it tunnels underground, it will not pop back up again.

This is especially important to note when hunting Shiny versions of Silicobra, as trainers will only have one shot to sneak up on it correctly.

Unfortunately unlike its pre-evolution, players can’t find Sandaconda out in the wild. This means that players who want to use a Sandaconda or those filling out their Pokedex will need to either evolve Silicobra or receive one through trading.

Thankfully, it’s fairly easy to evolve Silicobra into Sandaconda. To evolve Silicobra, players simply need to raise it to level 36.

And that’s everything trainers need to know about finding Silicobra and Sandaconda in Generation 9. Those looking to find out more about Pokemon Scarlet & Violet can check out our other guides below:
