Sleight of Sand! (Japanese: パチリスはカバルドンの口の中!? Pachirisu is in Kabarudon's Mouth!?) is the 65th episode of Diamond & Pearl. It first aired in Japan on January 31, 2008.

When our heroes' Pokémon are having a fun time in a sandpit, a Hippowdon appears from within. However the over-curious Pachirisu can't help peeping into the mouth of Hippowdon and accidentally falls into it...
