CARDEX BACKGROUND

About the species

Silicobra digs into the ground while swallowing sand. It stores it in a pouch near its neck that holds a surprising amount for its size. Facing an opponent, it shoots this sand through its nostrils to obscure their vision. The cloud gives it time to burrow back into the earth and hide. Its reserve is therefore more than a by-product of digging: it forms part of how it escapes danger.

This account describes the species in the video games. It does not describe its Trainer’s history or that of this copy, and does not identify the depicted form or sex.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Sword locates Silicobra's sand reserve in a neck pouch with a capacity exceeding 17 pounds, about 7.7 kg. Pokémon Shield describes the sequence: sand expelled through the nostrils, an opponent blinded, then escape underground.
