# Sandile #69/146 — XY

## Summary

Sandile is a Unova starter-era desert croc, a small Dark type with a loyal following thanks to its Krookodile line and that permanent scowl. As a base-set common in XY it was pack filler with no tournament role, so interest comes from Unova fans and Sumiyoshi Kizuki completists. A $0.19 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 brings $1.75, 9.2 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.08 out of Phantasmal Flames.
