Summary
Palossand is a Ghost/Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII. It is an evolved form of Sandygast and resembles a haunted sandcastle with a sinister aura. Palossand is known for its formidable appearance and unique abilities that play on the theme of malevolent spirits and cursed sand.
Type: Ghost/Ground
Abilities: - Water Compaction: This ability increases Palossand's Defense by two stages when hit by a Water-type move, making it highly resilient against such attacks. - Hidden Ability (Sand Veil): This ability raises Palossand's evasion in a sandstorm by 20%, making it harder for opponents to land hits during such conditions.
Interesting Facts: - Evolution: Palossand evolves from Sandygast starting at level 42. Sandygast is a small mound of sand possessing ghostly powers, and it evolves into the larger, more formidable Palossand that resembles a full sandcastle

Flavor Text Entries
- Sun: Possessed people controlled by this Pokémon transformed its sand mound into a castle. As it evolved, its power to curse grew ever stronger.
- Moon: Buried beneath the castle are masses of dried-up bones from those whose vitality it has drained.
- Ultra-Sun: Each of its grains of sand has its own will. Palossand eats small Pokémon and siphons away their vital essence while they’re still alive.
- Ultra-Moon: Once it has whipped up a sandstorm to halt its opponents in their tracks, this terrifying Pokémon snatches away their vitality.
- Sword: Palossand is known as the Beach Nightmare. It pulls its prey down into the sand by controlling the sand itself, and then it sucks out their souls.
- Shield: This Pokémon lives on beaches, but it hates water. Palossand can’t maintain its castle-like shape if it gets drenched by a heavy rain.
