I was actually looking more into snow cloak
Ah now if only people didn't whine about evasion clause. Combine Snow Cloak with Double Team, lefties, and tank stats and it'd be a real tough cookie.
Wait evasion clause counts for abilities as well? I thought it was only evasion boosting moves. Well that kills half of my sandstorm team as well.
No, you know what. Sandslash only has one ability (Sand Veil) and I am not removing him from my sandstrom team. (i would prefer sand rush so once that ability is available I will switch him, but for now he is Sand veil.)
Also what Makes Excadrill an Uber? Is it one of his abilities, and if so Which one?
Excadrill's Sand Rush has it banned for the same reason as Swift Swim+Drizzle on the same team.
As for the evasion clause, it DOES specifically say "MOVES that alter evasion/accuracy" so I could only logically assume, barring an errata to the rule, that abilities are fair play. I would even go so far as to say items too (Sand Veil/Snow Cloak+Bright Powder?) but such items are specifically categorized as "hax" items.
Well plus the thing is, with Sandslash, YOU CAN ONLY HAVE SAND VEIL! So Basically if you take the evasion clause to the extreme. Sandslash should be banned for that reason.
DAMNIT, sand rush is the move that makes Excadrill Uber (well i guess with a 604 max speed it makes sense. But I can still use Excadrill with Sand force. I just wanted a fast tank, but I can deal with a powerhouse. But i need to think of steel types rock types and ground types to use on my team, along with Hippowdon or Tyranitar as my sandstream guy.
Get confirmation before choosing Sand Force, because I haven't seen a ban list that differentiates them the way it does with Blaziken's Speed Boost.
Don't forget about other Pokemon that are off-type but still immune. Check these lists for other possible teammates that would be immune to the sand damage

Cacturn, Reuniclus, Alakazam, and Sigilyph can all be mixed in to a Sandstorm team and NOT share in all (or at least most) of the common-weaknesses of Steel/Rock/Ground types. Cacturn resists water and ground, while the others aren't weak to Fire and even resist Fighting.
I am also looking into stoutland. He has pretty nice damage on him, and He has Sand rush. I know Cacturn (Already looked at it) but did not even think about alakazam or those guys (This helps my Hail team as well.)
Hmm, looking at the speed Stoutland will have if I use him... that will be 518 speed... THAT IS SO MUCH MORE THAN NINJASK! (Even if i have a bad nature on speed that will be 466. Ninjask's top speed is 460 (But alas he does have speed boost)
518 is also more than Deoxys speed form that has a 504 max speed.
I can now understand why sand rush would be banned on Excadrill... Since the lowest speed with him (If he has sand rush in a sandstrom) is 166, or a max of 604.
Get some hone claws off and well... Yea Excadrll can probably sweep.
