Sand Tomb

Ground

Summary

Sand Tomb is a Ground-type move with 35 power and 85% accuracy. This move traps the target for 4-5 turns, causing them to take damage equal to 1/8 of their maximum HP at the end of each turn while they are trapped. Sand Tomb prevents the target from switching out or escaping during this period. It is useful for wearing down opponents over time and can disrupt strategies that rely on switching Pokémon frequently. While its immediate damage is relatively low, the trapping effect and residual damage make it a strategic choice in battles.
