Does Sandstorm power up Steel, Rock, & Ground type moves?

Jan. 19, 2014

Also does Ice type moves get boosted in a Hailstorm?

Noexcept for Weather Ball which gets a 50% boost in both Sandstorm and Hail.

Although Sandstorm does activate Sand Rush, Sand Force and Sand Veil. Sand Force boosts Rock, Ground and Steel type moves by 30% while in a Sandstorm. Sandstorm also raises the Special Defence of all Rock, Ground and Steep type Pokémon by 50%.

Hail activates Forecast, Ice Body and Snow Cloak and allows Blizzard to bypass the accuracy check.

Hope I helped :)

No, they do not.

Sand Force makes Rock / Ground / Steel types do 1.3x in a Sandstorm

Also, Sand Rush DOUBLES the Pokemon’s Speed while in a Sandstorm.

Sand Veil boosts a Pokemon’s evasion by 1.25x.

Ice type moves do NOT get boosted in hail. (Except for Blizzard’s accuracy)
