It is a stuffed toy Pokemon apparently. Makes me wonder if Bewear has a similar tag now.
I don't really see Palossand's ability being very useful. Getting the defense boost doesn't really matter if you're just getting OHKOd or 2HKOd anyway. Nevermind the fact that a lot of water types are special attackers anyway and water isn't exactly a common coverage type either on non-water types.
Sandygast and Palossand's descriptions tho: "A Sandygast uses its power to manipulate children into gathering sand to increase the size of its body" and Palossand just straight up kills stuff. Wow.

The spinning shovel of death. Actually, all the descriptions in the official page are hilarious as hell.
Does Water Compaction grant Water Immunity?
It wasn't clear what Sandygast's HP was before the attack.
If it doesn't I think it falls short of being amazing.
Even without immunity it could still be decent if Palossand gets recovery.
The crab is a very different kind of Fighting Pokemon so that's cool.
There are only a few exceptions to the bipedal Fighter and we get a crustacean now.
Stufful still has his tag. That made me laugh.

This is why Crabrawler isn't Watter Type in adition to Fighting:
Except as larvae, coconut crabs cannot swim, and they will drown if left in water for more than an hour.[9] They use a special organ called a branchiostegal lung to breathe. This organ can be interpreted as a developmental stage between gills and lungs, and is one of the most significant adaptations of the coconut crab to its habitat.[14]

Don't panic about the crab! There are crabs (Land crabs) that can't go into water, they did drown if they did. That's why it's not water type. It's fighting type because is based in the coconut crab and guess what it does?! That's right! Breaks coconuts that's where the fighting type comes from :)
Has nice Abilities it either can't get attack down the attack stat by intimidation or gets a power up for punch moves with iron fist.
It looks really funny with that appareance and the eyelid half way down like it took a punch there.
The pincers look like punching gloves.
Let's look at the official site:
Cabrawler the Boxing Pokémon:
Hates to lose, wants to aim higher than its fellows for social status, as a result sometimes is found in walls or in tall people lol.
If you try to remove one against its will, you’ll be met with a sound punch. (is able to learn Mach punch then ?!)
They like berries and to obtain them they shake trees and eat the ripe ones though if there are more of its kind it will be a battle royale and only the winner gets to eat.
They use the pincers to protect its head and belly as they get near to opponents to throw punches.
Its pincers sometimes are torn off, they are said to be delicious...

Lazy-eyed boxer crab? Crabrawler knows how to pick cool things he happens to look like. As much as I like it when Pokemon aren't their obvious typing, I do hope he gains water typing at some point just because Water / Fighting is pretty solid typing when you have decent STABs to work with.
Stufful's animations are adorable as is the tag sticking onto his butt. The sandcastles look so much better in motion, for sure.

With Water Compaction, its Defense stat will go up by 2 if it’s hit with a Water-type move.

Now, if the sand ghost has the right stats defensively this ability can turn out to be pretty useful.
A full health sand ghost would probably discourage the use of water moves if it gets good defenses; Especially, if it gets recover or slack off.
Also hoping for SR or Spikes on this one.

Stuffed toy or not, the tag doesn't work.
You don't wanna know...
I know we were joking about it and all... but I'm actually starting to get a little annoyed that they're revealing so many Pokémon so many quickly.
Don't get me wrong, I love most of what's been revealed so far - including the new one. But at this rate we're gonna know a large majority of the dex and it's just not going to be as much of a discovery and adventure.

All Immunity moves dont have a damage animation, which Sandyghast clearly does. It also has the SE noise, indicating damage was done.
I actually wonder if the sandcastle can learn Camouflage. In some circumstances, it could be useful to drop its Ground-typing to get an almost free boost in Defense.
Besides, while its Ability may be gimmicky, it could still get something like Arena Trap as its Hidden Ability.

Note to self: never release a coconut crab into the water again. And make sure not to put Crabrawler into the Sea Box either.
Edit: I'm surprised didn't give it a Ground type, just to make it weak to water.

I want to believe Palossand's stats could make Water Compaction kind of useful, but I won't hold my breath. Maybe in VGC with a sun team so the water attacks don't do as much damage to you. Meh...
Was definitely expecting an Alolan forme, Crabrawler is a nice surprise. At this rate I don't think GameFreak cares if they reveal the entire dex. The 3DS has been hacked wide open and the second the game comes out people are just going to data mine each and every secret in the game anyway. They'll probably reveal as much as they can. If you want surprises in the game at this point, you'd probably have to go on a news black out.

This. In the end, all the games have the data released after 2 days of being released.
At least like this, I've more time to warm up to some Pokemon and give each one proper time thinking about them and how they can interact with my favorite mons.
