Sandstorm (Japanese: すなあらし Sandstorm) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation II.

Effect

Generation II

When this move is used a sandstorm will brew. This effect will last for 5 turns. This clears any other weather effect.

While Sandstorm is in effect, all Pokémon who are not of the Steel-, Rock-, or Template:Type2s will be damaged 1/16 of their maximum HP at the end of each turn. Pokémon in the semi-invulnerable turn of Dig will also not take damage from Sandstorm, regardless of type.

Generation III

Sandstorm works as in Generation II. Pokémon with the Sand Stream ability invoke a semi-permanent sandstorm when entering battle. Pokémon with the Sand Veil ability increase their Evasion by 1 stage (25%) and are immune to Sandstorm's damaging effect. Moonlight and Morning Sun only restore ¼ of the user's maximum HP. Dive will also prevent damage from Sandstorm during the semi-invulnerable turn.

Generation IV

In addition to all effects from Generation III, all Rock-type Pokémon will have their Special Defense raised by 50% for the duration of the sandstorm. Synthesis also restores only ¼ of the user's maximum HP. Also, if a Smooth Rock is held when Sandstorm is used, its duration is lengthened from 5 to 8 turns.
