Sand Stream (ability)

Sand Stream is an Ability introduced in Generation III. There are 4 Pokémon in this game that have this Ability.

In Battle
Sand Stream summons a sandstorm in battle as soon as a Pokémon with Sand Stream enters the battle. Its effects are the same as Sandstorm's. If a Pokémon with Sand Stream is sent out in the same turn as another Pokémon whose Ability causes a different weather condition, such as Drought or Drizzle, the slower Pokémon's Ability will override the faster Pokémon's Ability. Strangely, if a Pokémon with this Ability is sent out while natural weather is in effect, such as rain, the Ability will not overwrite the natural weather condition in this game.

Outside of Battle
Sand Stream has no effect(s) outside of battle.
