Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| Sun | Born from a sand mound playfully built by a child, this Pokémon embodies the grudges of the departed. |
| Moon | It takes control of anyone who puts a hand in its mouth. And so it adds to the accumulation of its sand-mound body. |
| UltraSun | It likes the shovel on its head, so Sandygast will get serious and fight any children who come to take it back. |
| UltraMoon | If you build sand mounds when you’re playing, destroy them before you go home, or they may get possessed and become Sandygast. |
| Sword | Grudges of the dead have possessed a mound of sand and become a Pokémon. Sandygast is fond of the shovel on its head. |
| Shield | Sandygast mainly inhabits beaches. It takes control of anyone who puts their hand into its mouth, forcing them to make its body bigger. |
| Scarlet | If it loses its shovel, it will stick something else—like a branch—in its head to make do until it finds another shovel. |
| Violet | It 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. |
