Trivia
- Bellsprout is the only Pokémon to learn Weather Ball through breeding that cannot have Castform as a parent.
- All Pokémon who can learn Weather Ball are weak to at least one type of Weather Ball. Ho-Oh is weak to Water-type and Rock-type Weather Ball. Roserade, Bellsprout, Snorunt, and Cherubi are weak to Fire-type Weather Ball. Lugia, Roserade, Bellsprout, Cherubi, and Drifloon are weak to Ice-type Weather Ball. A Castform with its ability negated or changed will retain the type it was when its ability was negated or changed, so Sunny Castform will be weak to Water-type or Rock-type Weather Ball and Snow-Cloud Castform will be weak to Fire-type or Rock-type Weather Ball.
