📖 Pokedex Entries
Sun
"Possessed people controlled by this Pokemon 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 Pokemon 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 Pokemon 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 Pokemon lives on beaches, but it hates water. Palossand can’t maintain its castle-like shape if it gets drenched by a heavy rain."
