Sand Stream   [Edit]   [Talk]

Sand Stream(JP) is a Pokémon ability introduced in the fourth generation.

Description

The ability holder starts an automatic sandstorm upon it entering battle. Prior to the sixth generation, this sandstorm lasts until the next weather condition starts. The later generations fixed it so that it only last 5 turns unless the user is holding a Smooth Rock, which extends it by 3 additional turns. When two or more weather abilities users enter a battle, the slower Pokémon will override the others.

If heavy rain, extremely harsh sunlight, or a mysterious air current is present, Sand Stream will fail to activate.
