Cosmic Eclipse is a set in the Sun & Moon series. It was released on November 1, 2019. The printed size is 236. This checklist is longer, at 272 cards. Palossand is 127/236, in position 127 of 272 on this checklist. Before it is 126 Sandygast, and after it is 128 Alolan Meowth. The listed rarity is Rare.

Palossand is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 140 HP. In the Pokédex this is Palossand (#770), generation 7 (Alola). The card says it evolves from Sandygast. In this catalog that name is Sandygast (#769).

OOYAMA illustrated this card. The same name is on 29 other cards in the catalog.

Palossand (#770) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2017 to 2024. The earliest other card is Palossand 75/149 in Sun & Moon (2017). That card lists 130 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and OOYAMA illustrated this one. 7 other cards of Palossand list a different HP.

The attack Guard Press lists 80 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. During your opponent's next turn, this Pokémon takes 20 less damage from attacks (after applying Weakness and Resistance). Earthquake is another attack lists 150 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 20 damage to each of your Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "Each of its grains of sand has its own will. Palossand eats small Pokémon and siphons away their vital essence while they're still alive."

I keep a set binder for Cosmic Eclipse, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Cosmic Eclipse set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Palossand can fill a slot in Generation 7 binder (Alola). I still need this card.
