Sandstorm

Type Rock Category  Status Power  — Accuracy  — PP  10 Priority  0 Target  Self TM/Tutor  TM37 External move  None

Sandstorm is a Rock-type move that causes a sandstorm that lasts five turns. If the user is holding a Smooth Rock, the sandstorm will last eight turns.

A sandstorm will damage all Pokémon that are not Steel, Rock, or Ground-type by 1/16 of their HP. Pokémon with the Safety Goggles held item, the Overcoat Ability, or the Sand Veil Ability are also immune to this damage. Pokémon that are in the intermediate stage of Dig will not take damage during that turn. Synthesis, Morning Sun, and Moonlight will heal 1/4 HP. Rock-type Pokémon will have their Special Defense raised by 1.5× while a sandstorm is present.
