How To Find Sandygast in Pokemon Legends Z-A (Terror In The Sands Side Mission)
Sandygastis a curious Pokemon that takes the shape of a sand mound with a shovel sticking out of it, and prefers to haunt beaches and playgrounds. In Pokemon Legends Z-A, obtaining Sandygast can be easily achieved as a part of a Side Mission called ‘Terror in the Sands.’
Travel to Wild Zone 8 
Wild Zone 8 after completing the Hyperspace Survey mission Nº2 for Corbeau. Players will find a Quasartico Inc. employee just around the entrance to WZ8, and she will tell players about some unusual activity in the Wild Zone grounds, that seems to be affecting other Pokemon.
Accept the Mission and enter the Zone to see a cutscene where various Sandygast pop out of the sand and attack the Trainer. Defeat them, and use the Catch Window to get one of them (or several).
Completing this quest will reward players with the Scorching Sands TM, a Ground-type move that has a chance to inflict Burn on the target.
With that out of the way, now it’s time to train and evolve Sandygast into Palossand. This can be achieved by raising Sandygast to level 42. As Ghost/Ground-type Pokemon, Sandygast and Palossand are weak to Water, Grass, Ghost, Ice, and Dark-type attacks.

Discover the twelve most powerful Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, including the best Legendaries, Pseudo-Legendaries, and Mega Evolutions.
And thanks to their dual-typing, they are immune to Fighting, Normal, and Electric attacks. That’s a lot considering how many moves of those types are in the current Pokemon Legends Z-A meta. This Pokemon is also resistant to Bug, Rock, and Poison moves.
Palossand has a ridiculously low BST (480), turning it into one of the weakest Ghost-type Pokemon in the game. But that doesn’t mean it is completely useless. It is also important to pick a Modest nature, and the 252 HP/ 252 Sp. Atk /4 Speed EV Spread to make the most out of Palossand’s capabilities.
Thanks to its particular type, it can learn moves like Shadow Ball and Earth Power, which are the basics of its moveset. Players can also add Scorching Sands to their repertoire and Ancient Power, since it’s back in the game with the New TM Vendor, and it’s a decent move to raise Palossand’s low stats.
