Sand Veil increases the evasion of a Pokémon by 20% in a {{weather|sandstorm}} and if on a Pokémon whose type does not already, grants immunity to damage taken from sandstorms.
During a {{weather|sandstorm}}, the accuracy of any move used against a Pokémon with this Ability is modified by a factor of <sup>4</sup>/<sub>5</sub>. A Pokémon with this Ability will take no damage from the sandstorm if it otherwise would.
 
In [[Generation V]], Sand Veil lowers the accuracy threshold (user accuracy/target evasion) by 20% resulting in an overall 25% boost to evasion — not 20% as stated in game.
