'''Sandstorm''' (Japanese: '''すなあらし''' ''Sandstorm'') is a non-damaging {{type|Rock}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It was [[TM37]] from Generations II to {{gen|VII}}, and is [[TM32]] in [[Generation VIII]].

When this move is used, a sandstorm will brew. This effect will last for 5 turns. This clears any other [[weather]], but will fail when the weather is already {{weather|sandstorm}}.

While Sandstorm is in effect, all Pokémon who are neither {{t|Steel}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, nor {{type|Ground}} will be damaged ⅛ of their maximum HP at the end of each turn. Pokémon in the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Dig}} will also not take damage from Sandstorm, regardless of type. Also, the moves {{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Morning Sun}}, and {{m|Moonlight}} will recover only half as much HP as under clear conditions.

The damage inflicted at the end of each turn is decreased to 1/16 of the Pokémon's maximum HP. Pokémon with the {{a|Sand Veil}} Ability have the accuracy of any move used against them modified by a factor of ⁴/₅ when Sandstorm is in effect, and are immune to Sandstorm's damaging effect. {{m|Moonlight}}, {{m|Synthesis}}, and {{m|Morning Sun}} now only restore ¼ of the user's maximum HP. {{m|Dive}} will also prevent damage from Sandstorm during the semi-invulnerable turn.

 

===Generation IV onward===

All {{type|Rock}} Pokémon will now have their {{stat|Special Defense}} raised by 50% for the duration of the sandstorm. Also, if a [[Smooth Rock]] is held when Sandstorm is used, its duration is lengthened from 5 to 8 turns.

 

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. Sandstorms increase the health recovered from {{m|Shore Up}} from ½ to ⅔ of the user's maximum [[Statistic#Hit Points|HP]].

 

 

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.
