Palossand ex is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 280 HP and a retreat cost of four Colorless energy. It features two attacks: Sand Tomb, which costs three Colorless energy to deal 160 damage and prevents the Defending Pokémon from retreating during the opponent's next turn, and Barite Jail, requiring Water, Psychic, and Fighting energy to impose damage counters on each of the opponent's Benched Pokémon until their remaining HP drops to 100. The card has a resistance to Fighting-type attacks, reducing damage by 30, and a weakness to Darkness-type attacks, which deals double damage. It is part of the Scarlet & Violet series, released in November 2024, and is classified as a Double Rare card. The rules specify that if Palossand ex is Knocked Out, the opponent takes two Prize cards, and the Tera rule grants it protection from all damage while on the Bench. Its set name is Surging Sparks, and it is designated with the regulation mark H. The card’s design and mechanics align with its role in the game’s competitive and strategic frameworks.
