Where to find Sandygast in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Like many of the pokémon that appear in Scarlet and Violet, Sandygast comes from one of the earlier generations in the franchise. This pokémon looks like a pile of sand with a shovel sticking out of it and is a ghost/ground-type. There are a few locations where you can locate Sandygast in the games, but luckily, this pokémon is a pretty common spawn in the areas it calls home.

As shown in Sandygast’s habitat data, you can only find this pokémon in three areas around the Paldea region; West Province Area Two, East Province Area Two, and South Province Area Five. This pokémon loves the sand and will spawn on beaches in these areas. Take note that Sandygast dislikes the rain and will therefore not spawn whenever it is raining outside. You shouldn’t have a problem locating this pokémon since it spawns pretty frequently.
