Sandygast
Sandygast is a Ghost/Ground type Pokémon introduced in Generation 7. It is known as the Sand Heap Pokémon
.
A Sandygast emerges when the grudges of Pokémon and other creatures soak into the sand after they fall in battle. A Sandygast uses its power to manipulate children into gathering sand to increase the size of its body. If a Sandygast loses its shovel, it may put up a tree branch, a flag, or another item in its place.
The tunnel-like mouth of a Sandygast can suck the vitality from people and Pokémon. Apparently it's a test of courage in the Alola region to put your hand in a Sandygast's mouth.

Pokédex entries
| 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. |
| Ultra Sun | It likes the shovel on its head, so Sandygast will get serious and fight any children who come to take it back. |
| Ultra Moon | If you build sand mounds when you’re playing, destroy them before you go home, or they may get possessed and become Sandygast. |
