Sand Tomb traps the target in a sandstorm for 2-5 turns, inflicting damage at the end of each turn.
If a wild Pokémon uses Sand Tomb on the player's Pokémon, the player may escape if his or her Pokémon has the Run Away ability. However, Run Away does not allow the player to switch the Pokémon out.
Sand Tomb's effects are the same as in Generation III. If the user of Sand Tomb is holding a Grip Claw, the duration of Sand Tomb is always 5 turns
