Talk:Sandstorm (move)

I'm sorry, but I had a data entry error while editing. Someone will have to consolidate my new information with the previous version. - unsigned comment from ANinyMouse (talk • contribs)

This is SO not true.

In the "Availability" tab in the infobox it says:

"Not a TM, HM, or move tutor move."

Oh yeah? Then explain why it's listed as such. TheBlazikenMaster 20:39, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Relax. It's because the correct field hadn't been added yet to the infobox. - _s.Combusken 20:45, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Ash's Gliscor

Did it use sandstorm/sand-attack or what? I'm mentioning this because I saw people have pretty much turned this into an edit war. Please discuss and enlighten those of us who are not sure. Thank you. —♥ Jello^talk 19:49, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

I think it did. First, a lot of people say it was an improvised move, but why would Ash do that? This was two episodes before the counter-shield was invented, and he's a Pokemon Trainer. Second, people are saying that Staravia's Whirlwind created the sandstorm. How could that be when the sand comes off Gliscor's body (in a swirling motion, exactly like Paul's Gliscor did in the episode before), and Staravia is facing the complete other direction that Gliscor is facing?

For the last time, no it didn't Ataro 20:04, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

The point of this discussion is to discuss about how it did or did not use it. That's not much of a point, lol. ^^ Littlmiget123 20:06, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Sand Attack and Whirlwind/Gust together. That's a Sandstorm, but not the sandstorm this article should have. --Psy_ライダー☮ 22:17, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

The pic isn't showing. But I know the episode we're talking about. And Sand-attack is used in a completely different manner. Gliscor flings dirt at the opponent from the ground, not from its body. Can I ask why people are so against this being Sandstorm? I'm very curious. ^^ Littlmiget123 22:24, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Not every move has to be cut and dry exactly the same, just because it flips dirt from the actual ground in one episode doesn't mean it can't go back to the EP era where the sand just magically comes from behind it's back, or even it could be the whirlwind that's picking the dust up. D: --Psy_ライダー☮ 22:29, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Maybe, but that still doesn't tell me why everyone is against it using Sandstorm. And in the EP era, didn't the Pokemon throw dirt at the opponent from their claws or legs as well? I'm pretty sure the only Pokemon who makes sand come from their body is Hippopotas, and that's from the holes on its body. This is so confusing. Littlmiget123 22:50, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Ash never commanded him to use Sandstorm, he called for a Sand Attack and Whirlwind. D: --Psy_ライダー☮ 22:55, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Finally! now this can end...Ataro 23:04, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

(starting over indent) I just watched the part. *sigh* It still looks like a Sandstorm to me. Gliscor starts firing it first, before Staravia starts flapping its wings. And I looked, Ash never told them to use any move at all. All he said was for them to use their strongest attacks. Sandstorm is stronger than Sand-Attack, lol. ^^; When did Ash call for them to use the attacks. Here's the episode. It starts at 17:10. Littlmiget123 23:08, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
