Sand Veil (Japanese: すながくれ Hidden in Sand) is an ability introduced in Generation III. Eighteen Pokémon can have Sand Veil as their ability.
Effect
In battle
Sand Veil increases the evasion of a Pokémon by 20% in a sandstorm and if on a Pokémon whose type does not already, grants immunity to damage taken from sandstorms.
Outside of battle
From Pokémon Emerald onwards, if the Pokémon with Sand Veil is leading the party in an area with a sandstorm, such as Route 228 in Sinnoh, Sand Veil decreases the wild Pokémon encounter rate by 50%.
Pokémon with Sand Veil
Trivia
- Cacnea and Cacturne are the only Pokémon that have this ability that aren't already immune to sandstorm damage.
- Also, all of the Pokémon (excluding Cacnea and Cacturne) have Ground as one of their types, despite Sandstorm being a Rock-type move.
