Beyond the Ball 230 - Sandygast

Shucks, it sure seems like the grudge-holding spirits of the deceased in the Pokemon world will inhabit just about anything! This time they've gotten hold of a heap of sand resulting in this episode's focus, Sandygast! Follow along with the entries below: 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. Sword: Grudges of the dead have possessed a mound of sand and become a Pokémon. Sandygast is fond of the shovel on its head. Shield: Sandygast mainly inhabits beaches. It takes control of anyone who puts their hand into its mouth, forcing them to make its body bigger. Scarlet: If it loses its shovel, it will stick something else—like a branch—in its head to make do until it finds another shovel. Violet: It flings sand into the eyes of its prey and tries to close in on them while they’re blinded, but since Sandygast is so slow, the prey tends to escape. Photodex: They say that a mound of sand became possessed by the grudges of the departed, giving birth to Sandygast. Think twice about going near any cute-looking shovels you see sticking out of the sand. BTB: Experiments are ongoing looking for ways to cultivate strong and vibrant Sandygast. Studies suggest an excess of negative vibes and playfulness could yield high-quality results.
