Weather Ball (move): Difference between revisions

Weather Ball (Japanese: ウェザーボール Weather Ball) is a Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation III, in which it was Castform's signature move, and, like Castform, varies in type depending on the weather.

Effect

When no weather condition is under effect, Weather Ball deals damage of the Template:Type2. During any weather condition, Weather Ball attacks with a different type and its base power doubles to 100. The type that Weather Ball is depends on the weather conditions at the time it is used. It will be:

• Template:Type2 if Sunny Day is under effect.
• Template:Type2 if Rain Dance is under effect.
• Template:Type2 if Hail is under effect.
• Template:Type2 if Sandstorm is under effect.
• Template:Type2 if Fog is under effect or there is no special weather condition in effect.
• Shadow move (and therefore typeless) if Shadow Sky is under effect (in Pokémon XD only).

Type power-ups from the weather will be put into effect, as well as STAB caused by Castform's type changing from its ability, Forecast.
