ground

Sandygast mainly inhabits beaches. It takes
control of anyone who puts their hand into its
mouth, forcing them to make its body bigger.

shield

Grudges of the dead have possessed a mound of
sand and become a Pokémon. Sandygast is fond
of the shovel on its head.

sword

If you build sand mounds when you’re playing,
destroy them before you go home, or they
may get possessed and become Sandygast.

ultra-moon

It likes the shovel on its head, so Sandygast
will get serious and fight any children who come
to take it back.

ultra-sun

It takes control of anyone who puts a hand in its
mouth. And so it adds to the accumulation of
its sand-mound body.

moon

Born from a sand mound playfully built by a
child, this Pokémon embodies the grudges of
the departed.
