Recommended moves

• Great League:AstonishShadow BallEarth Power

Sandygast has a weird mixed stat spread and a max CP of 1394. As such, it isn't good for any of the main leagues or the Little Cup. And the shadow form performs even worse. It can't even beat Bronzor, which it should have a direct advantage against thanks to its typing.
