    OK, I'm playing through Leaf Green. One of the members of my team is my Dugtrio. great! it's ability is Sand Veil! Fantastic!

    So I'm going through Victory road and I find the Sanstorm TM. Woot! My Dugtrio will be stealthy!

    DUGTRIO CAN'T LEARN SANDSTORM.

    ....and Snorlax can.

    Lol, I can't believe Dugtrio can't learn Sandstorm in 3rd gen, instead, it can learn... Sunny Day?! What's the point of that! Is it trying to be Solarbeam bait? T_T

    Well that is dumb that it can't learn sandstorm, since sand is a kind of ground, I guess. But it does make sense that it can learn sunny day. After all, ground pokemon are weak against water, so they would want the ground dry.

    Wow...And I thought Shoddy was fail because Snorlax could learn Whirlwind :D

    Dugtrio learns it in fourth gen though. But you're right, that's just stupid.

    This move has been around since Gen II. Why has it been all the way to Gen. IV to fix it? WHY didn't they look and see if Dugtrio was packing Sandstorm before they gave it SAND VEIL for goodness sakes!

    I think Nintendo had an off day when they were programming Dugtrio. There's no other explination.

    That's just the thing you want to find out when you've raised your Dugtrio, waiting for Sandstorm all the time!

    kitsune still its not the same. Nintendo had te 3rd gen as a phail gen. It had no connection to any other gen and it still has no connections. Its a phail gen thats why. But sandstorm and sand vail is a pretty good combo. There are some other moves that dont make sence.
