PalossandSilver Tempest #100 Pokémon Card

Palossand, the Sand Castle Pokémon, is a Ghost/Ground-type introduced in Generation VII, specifically in the Alola region. It is the evolved form of Sandygast, a small pile of sand with a shovel on its head. Palossand is known for its rather unsettling behavior; it is said to control sand to trap its prey, draining their life force. Its Pokédex entries often describe it as a fearsome, sentient sand castle that can absorb the life energy of anyone who touches it or is pulled into its body. In the games, Palossand is a formidable opponent, often found in sandy areas or beaches, reflecting its natural habitat. Its unique typing gives it interesting matchups, being immune to Electric-type attacks due to its Ground typing, but vulnerable to Grass, Water, and Ice. In the anime, Palossand has made appearances showcasing its ability to manipulate sand and its somewhat eerie presence, often depicted as a guardian of beaches or ruins. Its design, inspired by sand castles, gives it a deceptively playful appearance that belies its predatory nature, making it a memorable and distinct Pokémon.
