Scorching-Sands Move Detail
Scorching Sands is a Ground-type move with 70 power and 100% accuracy. It has a 30% chance of burning the target, making it a unique and effective move for inflicting status conditions. Scorching Sands can hit Pokémon that are immune to traditional Ground-type moves due to the burn chance. This move is particularly useful in battles to weaken physical attackers, as a burn reduces the target's Attack stat. Introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield's Isle of Armor expansion, Scorching Sands is a popular choice for both defensive and offensive strategies, offering versatility for a wide range of Pokémon that can learn it.
