  • For Generation III and IV games, ignore Hidden Abilities.

Trivia

  • Shellos is the only Pokémon with this ability that can appreciate its full effect: the other thirteen Pokémon are naturally immune to damage from Sandstorm because of their type(s). However, if Waterlog were to be used on one of these Pokémon, they would still not take damage from Sandstorm thanks to this ability.
