Overview

As Sandygast compel children to add sand to their bodies, they will become larger and larger. Eventually, they will possess them to shape their sand into the form of a castle, evolving into Palossand. Palossand are now strong enough to control adults as well as children; they can also build themselves up with sand on their own without having to wait for children to grab their shovels. In fact, their shovels are no longer even used for possession; instead, they slowly spin around and function as radars to help Palossand locate prey. These Pokémon blend in seamlessly with the sand as they search for food; it is said that each one of their individual grains is animated with its own life force. When Palossand find small Pokémon, they can create powerful whirlpools of sand to drag down them down. They drain their prey’s life forces as they suffocate, leaving their dry bones beneath them. It is said that what little trace of their ill will remains then possesses piles of sand to create new Sandygast. They can also whip up sandstorms to blind prey and cause them to stumble into their waiting traps. Palossand can use damp sand to strengthen their bodies. Drawing too close to the crashing waves, however, can erode away at their crumbly forms.

Evolves from Sandygast at Lvl 42
