Sand Veil (Japanese: すながくれ Hidden in Sand) is an Ability 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. It was introduced in Generation III.
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%.
