Pokédex Entries for Palossand

Generation 8 Pokédex Entries

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.

Generation 7 Pokédex 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.
