Sandstorm (move): Difference between revisions

Pokémon with the {{a|Sand Rush}} Ability have their {{Stat|Speed}} doubled, while Pokémon with {{a|Sand Force}} get a power boost of 30% for their Rock-, Ground- and Steel-type moves. Both of these Abilities grant an immunity to Sandstorm's damaging effect.

Sandstorm can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing any of the moves {{m|Sand Attack}}, {{m|Sand Tomb}} and {{m|Weather Ball}} to give an extra three base appeal points if used in the next turn.
