Pokédex Entries

Scarlet "The terrifying Palossand drags smaller Pokémon into its sandy body. Once its victims are trapped, it drains them of their vitality whenever it pleases." Violet "From the hollows in its arms, it fires the bones of its victims, which are all dried up after being drained of 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 Pokémon lives on beaches, but it hates water. Palossand can’t maintain its castle-like shape if it gets drenched by a heavy rain."
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."
