Physical Characteristics: - Resembles a large sandcastle with a single tower and four turrets. - Has blue, vacant eyes and a wide mouth. - Its shovel on top acts as a radar.

Behavior and Habitat: - Known to control human adults, making them build sandcastles. - Typically found on beaches.

Interesting Facts: - Palossand's Japanese name, Shirodeshigai, combines "castle" and "turbo" (a genus of large sea snails). - The shovel on its head is used as a radar to search for prey. - While it is immune to Electric-type moves due to its Ground typing, it is severely weak to Water-type moves, ironically considering it's a 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.
