Prevents the target from fleeing and deals damage for 2-5 turns.

Sand Tomb deals damage on the first turn then traps the target (preventing them from switching out or fleeing), causing them to lose ⅛ of their maximum HP after each turn, for 4-5 turns.
If the user holds a Grip Claw, the after-effects last for 7 turns.
If a Binding Band is held, the damage is ⅙ of the target's maximum HP.

• In Gen 3-4 Sand Tomb has 15 power, 70% accuracy and the effect lasts for 2-5 turns and Grip Claw extends this effect to 5 turns.
• In Gen 3-5, the target loses only ¹⁄₁₆ of their maximum HP after each turn, or ⅛ while holding a Binding Band.
