Sand stream Pokemon mega evolving to sand force?

Question

If I send out a Pokemon with sand stream as their ability and they mega evolve into a Pokemon with sand force as their ability will the sandstorm persist and boost their damage or does it end as soon as the ability changes?

Answer 1

Well, the sandstorm will still keep going because when you sent out that Pokemon with sand stream it was activated before you mega evolve. So no, the sand does not end right when the poke mega evolves. However, the sand will end after 6 turns due to the nerf.

Hope I helped!
