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

Effects
In battle
- At the end of each turn, damages each Pokémon for 1/16 of its maximum HP, unless it is Ice-type; has one of the Abilities Ice Body, Snow Cloak, Magic Guard, Overcoat, or Slush Rush; or is holding Safety Goggles.
- Activates the following Abilities: Forecast, Ice Body,Snow Cloak, and Slush Rush.
- Causes Forecast to change Castform to its Snowy Form.
- Changes Weather Ball to an Ice-type move and doubles its power.
- 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.
- Halves the power of Solar Beam.
- Causes Moonlight, Synthesis, and Morning Sun to recover ¼ of the user's maximum HP.
- Allows Aurora Veil to be used, though the effect lingers even after Hail ends.
Outside of battle
Sweet Scent and Honey will fail if it is hailing in the area.
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 and Anistar City, and sometimes falls outside Frost Cavern in the day after rescuing Abomasnow. No battles take place outside any buildings in Snowpoint City, so it is unclear if any weather is assumed in battle in Generation IV. In Generation V, however, light snow does not cause hail in battle, while in Generation VI, it does.
Hailstorm
Precipitate 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 in Driftveil City, Cold StorageBW, Route 6, Mistralton City, Route 7, and Twist Mountain. In Generation VI, there is always a hailstorm on Route 17, as well as sometimes outside Frost Cavern, although only before rescuing Abomasnow.
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.

Trivia
- Despite being referred to as "hail" in the games, the way it is depicted is more similar to ice pellets. While hail cannot occur during a snowstorm in the real world, ice pellets can.
- An unused hail quote appears within the code of the games.
