* Sand Attack is one of four moves to have its type changed in [[Generation II]] (the others being {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Bite}}, and {{m|Karate Chop}}; all were {{type|Normal}} moves in [[Generation I]]), and one of five [[status move]]s to have its type changed between generations at all (the others are {{m|Charm}}, {{m|Curse}}, {{m|Moonlight}} and {{m|Sweet Kiss}}). Like Curse, the change in Sand Attack's type has no effect on the move itself.
