Sand Veil (ability)
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Sand Veil (Japanese: すながくれ Hidden in Sand) is an ability introduced in Generation III that increases the evasion of a Pokémon by 20% in a sandstorm and grants immunity to damaged caused by a sandstorm. Eleven Pokémon have Sand Veil as their ability.
In the overworld, 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%.
