Sandstorm is a non-damaging Rock-type move introduced in Generation II.

Effect

Generation II onwards

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 Ground-types will be damaged between turns.

Generation IV onwards

In addition to all previous effects from Generation III, all Rock-types will have their Special Defense raised by 1.5 times for the duration of the sandstorm.
