Terrains (here called terrain effects) function similarly to the [[core series]]. For example, one terrain effect can be used concurrently with one [[weather]] effect, and both can exist alongside one {{mas|zone}} effect.
{{main|Terrain (Masters)}}
 
At normal game speed, all terrain effects last for 45 seconds. This excludes time that [[sync pair]]s spend performing [[sync move]]s or {{DL|Max Move|Pokémon Masters EX|max}} {{DL|G-Max Move|Pokémon Masters EX|moves}}, but this includes time spent on everything else (e.g., moves' animation times, [[stat]]s getting raised or lowered, taking damage from {{weather|hail}} or a {{weather|sandstorm}}, {{mas|skill}}s activating, or [[status condition]]s being applied or taking effect). At faster speeds, terrain effects last shorter to accommodate for quicker gameplay. This results in terrain effects consistently ending in the exact in-game moments regardless of game speed.
 
====Setting terrain effects====
There are five means to apply terrain effects; only {{m|Electric Terrain|Electric}}, {{m|Grassy Terrain|Grassy}}, and {{m|Psychic Terrain}} are available in these ways:

=====By {{mas|skill}}=====
Skills that set terrain effects are in one of both of these categories: Passive and Grid. Passive skills are always on a [[sync pair]]. Grid skills are capable of being equipped from [[sync grid]]s if their users reach a certain move level, which always start at one.

=====Special case=====
In the [[Legendary Arena]] or [[Legendary Gauntlet]], every time the opposing {{p|Tapu Bulu}} enters battle, which includes every moment that it gets a new HP bar, the field of play's terrain instantly becomes {{m|Grassy Terrain}}.

Only {{m|Defog}} can clear terrain effects.

======[[Sync move]]s======
Ignoring other sources of power boosts, the following sync moves double in power when certain terrain is active. For damage-dealing {{t|Electric}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, and {{type|Psychic}} sync moves, this power-doubling feature stacks multiplicatively with the type-matching damage boosts that terrain effects provide, which can make the power of those three kinds of attacks being at least tripled.

This article is about the field effects caused by moves and Abilities. For the battle background mechanic, see Environment.

Terrain (Japanese: フィールド field) is a type of field effect in the Pokémon games that affects Pokémon on the ground. The mechanic was introduced in Generation VI. In battle, there is often no initial terrain, but it can be changed by Pokémon's moves and Abilities. Only one type of terrain may be present at a time, with any new terrain put in place overwriting the previous terrain.

In the core series games

Effects

Once activated, a terrain affects all Pokémon on the ground, and it normally lasts for 5 turns regardless of how it is created, but if the Pokémon who activated it held a Terrain Extender when the terrain was put into effect, it lasts 8 turns. Terrain that occurs naturally (e.g. Misty Terrain due to fog) lasts until it is replaced or removed.

Pokémon that are in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move are considered to not be on the ground for the purposes of terrain.

Natural objects disappear and cannot be destroyed while terrain is in effect.
