Palossand is a Ghost/Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII, first appearing in Pokémon Sun and Moon. It evolves from Sandygast, which is itself a possessed sand pile. Palossand takes the form of a large sandcastle, often found on beaches. Its Pokédex entries describe it as a fearsome creature that drains the life force of small Pokémon and even humans, trapping their spirits within its sandy body. It is said to control sand and can absorb the vitality of those who touch it. In the games, Palossand is known for its unique type combination, which gives it interesting resistances and weaknesses, making it a strategic choice for trainers. In the anime, it has appeared in episodes showcasing its ability to manipulate sand and its predatory nature. Its design, inspired by sandcastles, adds a playful yet eerie element to its character, making it a memorable Pokémon in the Alola region's ecosystem. Its behavior often involves lying in wait for unsuspecting prey, blending seamlessly with its beach environment.
