Weather Ball (Japanese: ウェザーボール Weather Ball) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation III. Prior to Generation IV, it was the signature move of Castform.
Effect
When the weather is clear, Weather Ball is a Normal-type move. During any type of weather, Weather Ball's power doubles to 100 (type power-ups from the weather will be put into effect in addition to this boost).
Weather Ball's type changes depending on the weather at the time it is used.
- Fire-type if it is sunny.
- Water-type if it is raining.
- Ice-type if it is hailing.
- Rock-type if there is a sandstorm.
- Normal-type if it is foggy, if there are strong winds, or there is no special weather condition in effect.
- ???-type if there is a shadowy aura.
Weather Ball is unaffected by Normalize, Pixilate, Refrigerate, and Aerilate. However, it is affected by Ion Deluge (if the move would be Normal-type) and Electrify.
