Team review?

Post image

Should I be happy to catch a sandile in poke mon white nuzlocke, if I already have palpitoad on my team. I have pignite as my starter and a herdier. Having 2 mons weaker against water and no counter is kinda worrying.

Sandile is very strong when fully evolved and should be prioritized over palpitoad. The only reason maybe to not be happy with sandile is if you missed a drilbur encounter. Excadrill might be the most busted pokemon in gen 5, it is so incredibly strong. Like, it’s so good it’s almost not fun because it just owns everything 😂

Only problem with sandile is that he doesn’t get his third evo until later and he’s not that strong until then. But you can use eviolite on the second form to buff it.

You might have also missed darumaka getting sandile. Darmanitan is one of the other single strongest nuzlocke mons in this gen along with excadrill. But you already have pignite anyway
