Snow falls slowly to the ground. Only found in [[Snowpoint City]] in Generation IV. In [[Generation V]], it is found on many days during [[Winter|winter]] in all places snow falls.

Hail (Japanese: あられ Hail) is a weather condition introduced in battle in Generation III. It was introduced in the overworld in Generation IV.
It will last for five turns if created using Hail (eight if the user is holding a Icy Rock) or Snow Warning (Generation VI only). If encountered in the overworld or created using Snow Warning (prior to Generation VI), it will last until replaced.

Effects
In battle
Advantages
- Activates the following Abilities: Forecast, Ice Body, and Snow Cloak.
- Changes Weather Ball to a Ice-type move and doubles its power.
- Changes Castform to its Hail Form.
- Allows Blizzard to bypass accuracy check (Generation V onward), or makes its accuracy 100% (in Generation IV).
- In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, allows Blizzard to hit through Protect and Detect 30% of the time.
Disadvantages
- Damages all Pokémon that do not have the Ice-type or the Abilities Ice Body, Snow Cloak, Magic Guard, or Overcoat.
- Causes Solar Beam to deal only half its damage.
- Causes Moonlight, Synthesis, and Morning Sun to recover ¼ of max HP (half the normal amount in Generation II).
Outside of battle
Since Generation IV, Sweet Scent will fail if it is hailing in the area, or if any other weather condition is present.
Variations
Light snow
Snow falls slowly to the ground. Only found in Snowpoint City in Generation IV. In Generation V, it is found on many days during winter in all places snow falls. In Generation VI, it is occasionally found in Dendemille Town. No battles take place outside any buildings in Snowpoint City or Dendemille Town so it is unclear if any weather condition is assumed in battle in Generations IV or VI, but in Generation V, light snow does not assume the Hail weather condition in battle.
Heavy snow
Snow falls more quickly and heavily, falling diagonally from one of the top corners of the screen, leaving the impression that it is being carried by strong winds, and sometimes appears to be mixed with hail. In Generation IV, it is found on Route 216, Acuity Lakefront, and at the summit of Mt. Silver. In Generation V, it is found on some days during the winter wherever snow falls, except for Icirrus City, Dragonspiral Tower, and Route 8.
Blizzard
Snow whips around, making it difficult to see. In Generation IV, it is found on Route 217, and less often on Route 216. In Generation V, it is only found occasionally in Icirrus City, Dragonspiral Tower, and Route 8 in the winter.
