Dust clouds are a new feature introduced in Generation V alongside rustling grass, rippling water and flying Pokémon shadows. They can be found in several caves throughout Unova.
If the player walks into a dust cloud, either find a Gem, Evolutionary Stone, or a rare Pokémon is countered. Gems can only be found this way in Black and White, though some Gems can be found on the ground in their sequels.
