Forecast (Japanese: てんきや Temperamental) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. It is the signature Ability of Castform.
Effect
In battle
Depending on the weather, Forecast will change Castform's form, which also changes its type. Castform changes as follows:
- During harsh sunlight or extremely harsh sunlight, it will become Sunny Form, which is Fire-type.
- During hail, it will become Snowy Form, which is Ice-type.
- During rain or heavy rain, it will become Rainy Form, which is Water-type.
- During a sandstorm, fog, a mysterious air current, a shadowy aura, or clear weather it will revert to its normal form, which is Normal-type.
- It will also revert to its normal form if a Pokémon on the field has Cloud Nine or Air Lock.
This Ability has no effect on Pokémon other than Castform.
Forecast does not change Castform's form until after Stealth Rock deals damage.
Generation III
If a Pokémon transforms into Castform with Forecast, it will change forms with the weather just like Castform.
If Castform or a Pokémon transformed into Castform loses Forecast, it will be stuck in its current form. When it regains Forecast, it will change to the form matching the current weather, even if it is already in the correct form (which resets its type if it had changed due to an effect like Color Change).
Forecast can be copied by Role Play and Trace.
Generation IV
If Forecast is suppressed with Gastro Acid, it will be stuck in its current form.
Forecast cannot be copied by Trace.
Generation V onward
If a Pokémon transforms into Castform, the Pokémon will remain in the same form as the target Castform, regardless of the weather.
If Castform loses Forecast or Forecast is suppressed with Gastro Acid, it will revert to its normal form and not be able to change form. If Castform regains Forecast, it will change form to match the current weather, unless it would be in its normal form in the current weather.
Role Play fails if the target has the Ability Forecast. Entrainment fails if the user has the Ability Forecast. Forecast cannot be copied by Power of Alchemy or Receiver.
Outside of battle
Forecast has no effect outside of battle.
