How to Evolve

In previous games, breeding with Palossand produced Sandygast eggs from the Amorphous egg group.
Base Stats
In previous games, Defense and Sp. Atk carried most of Palossand's stat budget.
The terrifying Palossand drags smaller Pokémon into its sandy body. Once its victims are trapped, it drains them of their vitality whenever it pleases.
