Sandygast is born from grudges that seep into the sand, such as from Pokémon that suffer defeat in battle. It can suck the life force of people or Pokémon through its mouth. Apparently, in the Alola region, sticking a hand into Sandygast's mouth is a way of proving one's courage. A person who grabs Sandygast's shovel or puts a hand in its mouth falls under its control. It uses this power to make children add sand to its body so it can become bigger. A Sandygast that loses its shovel may replace it with something like a branch or a flag, but it is said to keep searching for its lost shovel.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/sandygast/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Sandygast]</ref> | Sandygast is born from grudges that seep into the sand, such as from Pokémon that suffer defeat in battle or the deceased.

Sandygast (Japanese: スナバァ Sunaba) is a dual-type Ghost/Ground Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
It evolves into Palossand starting at level 42.
Biology
Sandygast is a Pokémon formed from sand. It is mostly a mound of whitish sand dotted with gray pebbles. A tunnel through its center acts as a mouth, and a small depression above that has two pebbles for eyes. A red shovel with a white handle is stuck blade first into the top of its head. On either side of its main body is a smaller mound reminiscent of a stubby arm.
Sandygast is born from grudges that seep into the sand, such as from Pokémon that suffer defeat in battle or the deceased. It can suck the life force of people or Pokémon through its mouth. Apparently, in the Alola region, sticking a hand into Sandygast's mouth is a way of proving one's courage. A person who grabs Sandygast's shovel or puts a hand in its mouth falls under its control. It uses this power to make children add sand to its body so it can become bigger. Sandaygast cares a lot about the shovel on its head. A Sandygast that loses its shovel may replace it with something like a branch or a flag, but it is said to keep searching for its lost shovel.[1]It is known to inhabit beaches.
Sandygast and its evolution Palossand are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Shore Up.

- Sandygast has the lowest base Speed stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
Origin
Sandygast resembles a small heap of sand, yet to be shaped into a sand castle - sporting a tunnel-like mouth and a shovel stuck into its head. Its Shiny color variation may be based on black sand.
Name origin
Sandygast may be a combination of sandy and ghast (evil spirit).
Sunaba may derive from 砂場 sunaba (sandbox) or 砂 suna (sand) and bar or いないいないばあ inai-inai-baa (peekaboo).
