[Meta Thread] Dragonstrike's Pokerole Test Game: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

Sandstorm doesn't really do anything but gives + 2 Special Defense to Rock Types (Which may or may not be stackable with Move/Item Buffs) , does chip Damage, and triggers Sand Abilities. There are no Moves but Shore Up that benefit from Sandstorm, so unless one of your Pokemon has Sand Force/Sand Rush you're not going to get much from Sand but the benefits I've already listened.

In general, it seems that Rain/Sun and Sand/Hail are balanced enough, with the Non-Damaging Weather giving Buffs/Debuffs to their respective Type targets and getting a few Moves that benefit from them, Hail doing chip Damage to non-Ice Type and buffing Attributes directly and making Blizzard/Aural Viel usable, while Sand gives Rocks + 2 Special Defense and hurts anything but Steel, Ground, and Rock types, which means a more balanced/diverse can be built around the Weather. Still, I do wish their was a Move that benefited from a Sand, but its not strictly speaking necessary for it to be good.
