*Moves, abilities, and statuses that deal damage every turn (like {{M|Sandstorm}} or [[Status ailment#Burn|Burn]]) can cancel out Focus Sash's effect. This can also work without using a turn if a Pokémon like {{P|Tyranitar}}, {{P|Hippowdon}}, or {{P|Abomasnow}} activate their abilities.  (Note that F.E.A.R. Phanpy, Corsola, and Swinub are immune to Sandstorm.)
