Read more ↓Palossand is a Ghost/Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII, native to the Alola region. It is the evolved form of Sandygast, which itself evolves from a pile of sand possessed by a vengeful spirit. Palossand appears as a large, sentient sandcastle with a red shovel stuck in its head, often seen on beaches. Its unique physiology allows it to absorb the life force of small Pokémon, drying them out and adding their remains to its sandy body, making it grow larger and stronger. It has a particular fondness for children, luring them in with its innocent appearance before trapping them within its sandy confines. In the Pokémon world, Palossand's presence often serves as a cautionary tale for beachgoers. Its Ground typing makes it strong against Fire, Electric, Poison, and Rock types, but vulnerable to Water, Grass, and Ice. As a Ghost type, it is immune to Normal and Fighting moves, and resistant to Poison and Bug, but weak to other Ghost and Dark types. Palossand plays a minor role in the *Pokémon Sun and Moon* anime, primarily appearing as wild Pokémon, and is known for its somewhat sinister yet intriguing design.
