Palossand · Silver Tempest, what to know.
About the Palossand card
Numbered 100 of 217 in Silver Tempest, released in November 2022, Palossand is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Fighting-type carrying 140 HP.
It evolves from Sandygast, so Palossand is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Printed on the card, the Palossand Pokédex entry reads: "Palossand is known as the Beach Nightmare. It pulls its prey down into the sand by controlling the sand itself, and then it sucks out their souls."
What is Palossand worth?
Palossand is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Palossand before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Palossand grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Palossand
Raw copies of Palossand are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Palossand is the practical move.
