Sandygast, the sand heap Pokémon from Unova, is available in the wild in Pokémon Go and it can be encountered in its shiny form, which is highly sought after for its appealing design. Although neither Sandygast nor its evolution Palossand are vital for competitive play, Palossand can still find a place in Ultra League PvP battles. The shiny rate for Pokémon typically sits at one in 500, and Sandygast does not have a boosted shiny rate as a permaboost Pokémon, leading to a reliance on random chance for players seeking to catch one.
Sandygast is a sand heap Pokémon from Unova, and while not meta-relevant, its shiny form is visually stunning and desirable to catch in Pokémon Go.
While the shiny rate for Pokémon typically sits at one in 500, Sandygast does not benefit from a permaboost, meaning it relies solely on the standard shiny catch rate.
Shiny Pokémon rates in Pokémon Go are often boosted during special events, but for Sandygast, players should expect to depend on random chance when attempting to find one.
The Silph Road's earlier research indicates that shiny Pokémon rates are not increased for Sandygast, further highlighting the need for persistence in finding this rare variant.
