Weather (Masters)

There are several weather effects in Pokémon Masters EX. They work like in the main series games, though some of their effects are slightly tweaked.
Effects
The following weather conditions are present in Masters EX:
- Sunny: Boosts Fire-type attacks by 50%. Additionally, Pokémon cannot be frozen, and previous Pokémon that were frozen prior to the weather condition being implemented will not be frozen anymore after the weather takes effect.
- Rain: Boosts Water-type attacks by 50%.
- Hail: Damages Pokémon after every action.
- Sandstorm: Damages Pokémon after every action.
Unlike with the main series games, Ice-type Pokémon are not immune to damage from hail; similarly, Rock-type, Steel-type, and Ground-type Pokémon are not immune to damage from sandstorm. Instead, the effects of hail and sandstorm are nullified by the passive skills Snow Shelter and Sand Shelter, respectively.
Like in the main games, these weather conditions can be triggered with the respective moves (Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Hail, Sandstorm) or as a side effect of Max Moves (e.g., Max Flare). As well, certain skills can activate weather conditions whether it is after using a sync move or upon entry.
| Passive skill | Weather condition | When it is triggered |
|---|---|---|
| Cold Front | Hail | Upon entry |
| Downpour | Rain | Upon entry |
| Dust Kicker | Sandstorm | After sync move |
| Hail Bringer | Hail | After sync move |

| Shower Sync | Rain | After sync move (first time) |
