Flavor Text | ||
| 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. | |
