Flavor Text
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.
Legends: Z-A Grudges of the dead have possessed a mound of sand and become a Pokémon. Sandygast is fond of the shovel on its head.
