|---|---|---|---|
| Great | #889 of 1,154 | 62.6 | Mud Shot, Shadow Ball, Earth Power |
These are two different questions. The IV ranks further up say which Sandygast to build; the meta rank says whether Sandygast is worth building at all. Ranks and movesets come from PvPoke, whose battle simulations produce them, and they move as the meta does.
How to find a good Sandygast
The search-string generator builds a string you can paste into the search bar in Pokémon GO. It matches the CP, HP and appraisal stars of the top spreads above — pre-evolutions included — so you can sweep a whole storage box in one go.
To check a Sandygast you already own, open the IV ranker and set its IVs. It ranks every stage of the evolution line at once and shows the meta rank beside the IV rank.
