Tentacruel, Tentacool, Sandshrew, or Baltoy
All are related to sandy places, and I speak for everyone who has played any old sapphire, ruby, or emerald game that freaking tentacool is everywhere and drives you nuts.

If it is dessert related or even beach related. Trapinch was one of the most annoying pokemon to run into. And with its ability of arena trap it kept players from running from it as some did. And it did drive some nuts. Even me when I was looking for other pokemon and not it.
And from any beach using surf there were always a ton of Tentacool. Even now it is one of the most maddening things that one runs into every little bit.

Cacturne?

Quote is from bulbpedia

If a traveler is going through a DESERT in the thick of night, Cacturne will follow in a ragtag group. The Pokémon are BIDING THEIR TIME waiting for the traveler to tire and become incapable of moving.

Sorry if I'm not supposed to make more than one post, I'll edit my last one and delete this one if it's needed.

This is going to be kind of an analysis and sharing my thoughts, not necessarily choosing a Pokemon.

Because of the new hints, I thought that the Pokemon would be something that eats it's prey. That led me to believe it would be Sandile or it's evolution. However, it never says that it eats it's enemies. Therefore we can infer that it doesn't have to be a carnivore. It states people come to it, either meaning it's popular or that it is a psychic or ghost type, or at least something that can manipulate people. It also drives them mad. I've scoured the list of pokemon for a while, and I haven't really been able to find a pokemon that both likes sand and drives people crazy by making them love it.

In the hints it states "The last enemy has fallen! We'll flourish once again! At midnight we'll feast! We'll feast the whole night and day!" This leads me to believe it might be a nocturnal Pokemon, or at least a pokemon that needs to eat but not to sleep. But, what would they be eating? Well, Larvitar eats the earth. Since this bit of information on Larvitar was specifically mentioned in it's pokedex, that means it could eating anything. But then, who is it's enemy? Does that mean these two species are enemies? Or is it over territory? If so, the "enemy" could be many different pokemon. So which pokemon has many enemies? Or one, singular enemy?

It also make it seem this pokemon species is not alone. As in it's in a pack or team of Pokemon. I also think that is might be a patient Pokemon, or at least some are. With the "It's not time yet" hint, it makes it seem like the Pokemon is either telling another Pokemon that, or at least telling itself that. (Seems sinister to me, haha.. Like all those villains waiting for an opening.)

But then, "Sand is love". If sand was love, why would it need to make others love them? It also seems like an uncommon or rare Pokemon with the "But people come for me". It seems like a well Pokemon, but then people lost interest in it. Maybe that's why it has an enemy? It wants to get it's love back? But it doesn't seem like it.

I'm really unsure of what Pokemon it could be! But this is all just my opinion, and how I interpret this. I'm going to keep combing through the Pokemon list to find one that fits the bill. (Hopefully)

"15 million grains of sand, seen every single one over and over again." It states that it either keeps on growing or recovers when injured, cause it's practical you made of sand, other than that the second one shows that its pre evolution is somethig he does not like and is bothersome .This pokemkn has an ability of controlling people whigh causes then to go to them forcefully referred by u "crazy " .And as most of themergency feast upon the ones they control including pokemons, I may say it is surely palossad. It's last enemy was probabaly a pokemon who he thought to be gone forever but soon more came over the sea, as I believe palossad can easily be found at the beach.
Yo guys it me and my fellow here. help em would you :)







enjoy

Well I’m guessing Mimyyku because there are a lot of references to “They will love us!” “They will flock to us” (or stuff like that)

”Mysterious… surprising… and law-defying… Isn’t that right?”

Posting this since you said the riddle has got 'distracting elements'.Yeah,I know these ideas maybe a little too wild^^ but let me just try explaining this according to my idea
So I'm guessing that the Pokemon is drowsee/hypno.The relation to '15 million grains of sand' might be hinting to a hour glass,since these Pokemon's are waiting for the people to come their way/sleep.And the waiting for the time to come is a bothersome process.They make the people go crazy literally by hypnotizing them. Also few people do 'come for them',specially who are in need of a good, sound sleep call them their savior.The last enemy has 'fallen' maybe hinting that they 'have fallen asleep'.The 'feast' might be referring to their ability to 'feast on dreams'.And their enemy might be when people come back to senses.So they wait again for the perfect time to feast on the people's dreams.

My second guess: Ludicolo
my reasoning is a few of the hints:
Distracting elements = ludicolo is a grass/water type and we all know the grass typing is weak to water typing
The design seems to be based off a kappa and kappas can be found near bodies of water a large majority of which have sandy shores
I'll be dancing with Mike while the music echo's through the rooms - Ludicolo is always dancing when it hears music

sorry my explanation isn't so great...kinda stressed and sleepy...

Right. Hopefully someone will be able to take my musings and find a pokemon to fit. Thinking maybe Solrock?

Everything points to TIME. I think the 'grains of sand' are in fact stars. 15 million stars seen over and over again every night. The first one is a pain because it signals the start of a long wait (the night). The enemy defeated - the stars were covered by the light of the Sun. They feasted on the light but the enemy returned. The night returned. The sun had to hide again. Everyone loves the sun but it leaves every day.

my answer (may not make sense at first) is: GASTLY.
why? in the episode: the ghost of maidens peak, maidens peak is a cliff, near a beach, with SAND.
gastly inhabited the statue there. and "haunts" it during the summer festival, once a year.
the ghost (with gastly) sees the sand all the time.
the statue makes people crazy (like brock and james in the anime)
but the sand part doesn't make sense...
anyway, hope i helped! :)

Alfa,bravo,charlie,tango,mike,echo,India.. All these are NATO phonetic alphabets.So I guess maybe the Pokemon is Unknown ? Although I can't connect the other hints with this Pokemon xD."Its flat, thin body is always stuck on walls" and maybe that's why the love towards sand? Also maybe since Unknowns are associated with puzzles,maybe that's why they "drive people crazy"?


And maybe since Unowns are capable of distorting the reality to suit the dreams and wishes of whoever is in control of the Unown and since they have the power to perceive the feelings of other creatures (including human beings) one of the hint says " I affect you and you affect me"?.
However, they can only do this when more Unown are present, so it could be a shared effort rather than an ability unique to each Unown (may indicate feast)
And I'm closer than u think maybe pointing to 'November' which is also a phonetic alphabet and the month was just over.Also since they're found in desert catacombs,maybe that's why the love towards sand?
If it's not this Pokemon, I hope someone can connect atleast the first part of what I said to find the real Pokemon (:

I forget what its called but the pokemon who is sun solrock? Or is that the wrong name for it

The reason is because the sun comes and goes everyday it is a rock type pokemon and its not time yet since tango night is at night so the moon would be out

Maybe lunatone?
Reasons:
15 million grains of sand maybe referring to the stars it sees everyday.The enemy might be solrock(day). The whole world turned upside down maybe indicating that it's day once again. And driving people crazy maybe cuz it's a psychic Pokemon. Also Tango,India,Mike,Echo,maybe because it's not time for the night yet.And also it loves tango Night,obviously cuz it's a moon Pokemon and it is more active on full moon nights.The love to sand maybe because it was found in a meteor crash.And many people love night but still it goes everyday.

99.99999999999999999999% sure this is wrong but here goes:manaphy\phione (more manaphy,you'll see why now)

Manaphy is the seafaring pokemon, it has a migration route.
It's migration is long, and it must see a lot of sand(many times as due to a reoccurring migration route).
Also, manaphy is an very happy pokemon, meaning it probably likes dancing
