Flavor Text

Sandygast – #769 - Sand Heap Pokémon - veekun (54)
Sandygast – #769 - Sand Heap Pokémon - veekun (55)

Born from a sand mound playfully built by a child, this Pokémon embodies the grudges of the departed.

Sandygast – #769 - Sand Heap Pokémon - veekun (56)

It takes control of anyone who puts a hand in its mouth. And so it adds to the accumulation of its sand-mound body.

Sandygast – #769 - Sand Heap Pokémon - veekun (57)

It likes the shovel on its head, so Sandygast will get serious and fight any children who come to take it back.

Sandygast – #769 - Sand Heap Pokémon - veekun (58)

If you build sand mounds when you’re playing, destroy them before you go home, or they may get possessed and become Sandygast.
