While Sandstorm is in effect, all Pokémon who are neither {{t|Steel}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, nor {{type|Ground}} will be damaged ⅛ of their maximum HP at the end of each turn. Pokémon in the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Dig}} will also not take damage from Sandstorm, regardless of type. Also, the moves {{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Morning Sun}}, and {{m|Moonlight}} will recover only half as much HP as under clear conditions.
