Palossand
Palossand is a Ghost/Ground type Pokémon introduced in Generation 7. It is known as the Sand Castle Pokémon
.
Palossand controls human adults, making them build a sand castle that provides camouflage and also raises its defensive abilities. Unlike Sandygast, if Palossand loses some of the sand from its body, it can restore itself on its own. When moving about in search of prey, the shovel on top of Palossand's head revolves. It’s said that the shovel could be serving as some kind of radar.

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. |
