Not sure what tier it will land in, but it seems totally capable of playing in the upper tiers. Great hp for a ghost, reliable recovery tank that is also a special attacker with a mostly unresisted STAB like ghost is a great combination. resists bug and blocks volt switch, making it harder to gain momentum off. It also acts as a spinblocker. It pairs wonderfully with Tyranitar who can switch into dark and ghost type attacks aimed at it, and it can cover tyranitar's fighting type weakness somewhat.. but it also gains a boost to its recovery in sand. Whats more, while Palossand is a spinblocker to mons like Excadrill, Tyranitar pursuit traps common defoggers like Latis or beats them with Stone Edges. This can be a competent hazard control core IMO
edit: And I know everyones ragging on water compaction, but why not just use a sand veil set tbh? If youre running it with a tyranitar, it sounds pretty strong to have a toxic spamming mon that you may miss with your attack
