Sandaconda · Scarlet & Violet, what to know.
About the Sandaconda card
Sandaconda is card 120 of 250 in Scarlet & Violet, released in March 2023, an Uncommon. It is a Stage 1 Fighting-type with 140 HP.
As a Stage 1, it evolves from Silicobra, which places Sandaconda deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.

The card's flavor text gives Sandaconda a line of lore: "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."
What is Sandaconda worth?
Sandaconda is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Sandaconda before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Sandaconda grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Sandaconda
Raw copies of Sandaconda are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Sandaconda is the practical move.
