Sand Attack lowers the target's Accuracy by one stage. Although it is a Ground-type move it still affects raised Pokémon. Raised Pokémon are any Flying types or those under the effects of Levitate, Magnet Rise or Telekinesis. Full details in glossary.

Stats can be lowered to a minimum of -6 stages each. Pokémon with the abilities Keen Eye, Clear Body or White Smoke cannot have their accuracy reduced.

When a Pokémon is holding Groundium Z and uses its Z-Power, Sand Attack turns into Z-Sand Attack and raises Evasiveness one stage, in addition to its usual effect as above.
