Sandaconda

Sword	When it contracts its body, over 220 pounds of sand sprays from its nose. If it ever runs out of sand, it becomes disheartened.
Shield	Its unique style of coiling allows it to blast sand out of its sand sac more efficiently.
Scarlet	It will expand its body as much as it can and then contract itself, blasting out sand with enough force to wash away a dump truck.
Violet	The sand it spews contains sharp, pointy gravel, which is actually just sand that Sandaconda’s saliva has hardened into irregular shapes.

Gigantamax

Sword	Its sand pouch has grown to tremendous proportions. More than 1,000,000 tons of sand now swirl around its body.
Shield	Sand swirls around its body with such speed and power that it could pulverize a skyscraper.
