Boosts the power of Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-type moves in a sandstorm. 

Sand Force

When this Pokémon is at full HP, any hit that would knock it out will instead leave it with 1 HP.  Regardless of its current HP, it is also immune to the one-hit KO moves: fissure, guillotine, horn drill, and sheer cold.

If this Pokémon is holding a focus sash, this ability takes precedence and the item will not be consumed.

The Pokémon cannot be knocked out by a single hit as long as its HP is full. One-hit KO moves will also fail to knock it out.

Sturdy

Whenever a physical move hits this Pokémon, its Speed rises one stage and its Defense falls one stage.

This ability triggers on every hit of a multiple-hit move.

The Pokémon's Defense stat is lowered when it takes damage from physical moves, but its Speed stat is sharply boosted.
