Abilities / Passives

Passive effect

Earth Eater

If hit by a Ground-type move, the Pokémon has its HP restored instead of taking damage.

This is always-on help. Check when it activates before building around it.
Stat swing

Sand Veil

Boosts the Pokémon's evasiveness in a sandstorm.

This passive changes stats, so one turn can suddenly become stronger or safer.
