'''Sand Veil''' (Japanese: '''すながくれ''' ''Hidden in Sand'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]].
 
==Effect==
===In battle===
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> (approximated as a factor of 3277/4096 since Generation V). A Pokémon with this Ability will take no damage from the sandstorm if it otherwise would.
 
===Outside of battle===
From {{game|Emerald}} onwards, if a Pokémon with Sand Veil is in the first place in the [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]) in an area with a {{weather|sandstorm}} (such as {{rt|228|Sinnoh}} in [[Sinnoh]]), the chance of encountering a wild Pokémon is decreased by 50%.
====Generation VIII====
This Ability appears to have no effect on encounter rate in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
====Generation IX====
This Ability appears to have no effect on encounter rate in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
