Pokedex Entries

GameEntry
SunBorn from a sand mound playfully built by a child, this Pokémon embodies the grudges of the departed.
MoonIt takes control of anyone who puts a hand in its mouth. And so it adds to the accumulation of its sand-mound body.
UltraSunIt likes the shovel on its head, so Sandygast will get serious and fight any children who come to take it back.
UltraMoonIf you build sand mounds when you’re playing, destroy them before you go home, or they may get possessed and become Sandygast.
SwordGrudges of the dead have possessed a mound of sand and become a Pokémon. Sandygast is fond of the shovel on its head.
ShieldSandygast mainly inhabits beaches. It takes control of anyone who puts their hand into its mouth, forcing them to make its body bigger.
ScarletIf it loses its shovel, it will stick something else—like a branch—in its head to make do until it finds another shovel.
VioletIt flings sand into the eyes of its prey and tries to close in on them while they’re blinded, but since Sandygast is so slow, the prey tends to escape.
