Effect[]
This move summons a Sandstorm onto the field for 5 turns (8 if the user is holding a Smooth Rock), including the turns it was used. This clears any other type of weather. While Sandstorm is in effect:
- All Pokémon who are neither Steel-, Rock-, nor Ground-type will be damaged 1/16 of their maximum HP at the end of each turn.
- Pokémon in the semi-invulnerable turn of Dig and Dive will also not take damage from Sandstorm, regardless of type.
- Pokémon with the Sand Veil Ability have the accuracy of any move used against them modified by a factor of 4/5.
- The moves Moonlight, Synthesis, and Morning Sun only restore 1/4 of the user's maximum HP.
- All Rock-type Pokémon will have their Special Defense raised by 50% for the duration of the Sandstorm.
- Pokémon with the Sand Rush Ability have their Speed doubled.
- Pokémon with the Sand Force Ability get a power boost of 30% for their Rock-, Ground- and Steel-type moves.
