(so wait, more effective move is a DISadvantage? nintendo logic on full power here.)

'''Harsh sunlight''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|日差しが強い|ひざしがつよい}}''' ''intense sunlight''), sometimes referred to as '''Sunny''', is a type of [[weather]] introduced in battle in [[Generation II]]. It was introduced in the overworld in [[Generation III]].


'''Intense sunlight''' (Japanese: '''ひざしがつよい''' ''Intense sunlight'') is a [[weather condition]] introduced in battle in [[Generation II]]. It was introduced in the overworld in [[Generation III]].
It will last for five turns if created using {{a|Drought}} ([[Generation VI]] onwards), {{a|Orichalcum Pulse}}, or {{m|Sunny Day}}, or eight if created by a Pokémon holding a [[Heat Rock]]. If created using Drought (prior to Generation VI) or encountered in the overworld, it will last until replaced. In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, {{m|Max Flare}} causes harsh sunlight after dealing damage.


It will last for five turns if created using {{m|Sunny Day}} (eight is the user is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Heat Rock}}), and will remain until the battle ends or it is replaced if a Pokémon with {{a|Drought}} (before Generation VI, where the Ability works the same way as move) is sent out or it is encountered naturally.
There is also a variation of harsh sunlight called '''extremely harsh sunlight''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|日差しがとても強い|ひざしがとてもつよい}}''' ''very intense sunlight''). Extremely harsh sunlight can be encountered in the overworld or created using {{a|Desolate Land}}; if the latter, it lasts until the summoner is removed from the field (and no other Pokémon with Desolate Land remain on the field), the summoner is rotated out in a Rotation Battle, the summoner has Desolate Land suppressed or replaced, or [[Rain|heavy rain]] or [[strong winds]] are created by {{a|Primordial Sea}} or {{a|Delta Stream}} respectively.

Harsh sunlight (Japanese: 日差しが強い intense sunlight), sometimes referred to as Sunny, is a type of weather introduced in battle in Generation II. It was introduced in the overworld in Generation III.

It will last for five turns if created using Drought (Generation VI onwards), Orichalcum Pulse, or Sunny Day, or eight if created by a Pokémon holding a Heat Rock. If created using Drought (prior to Generation VI) or encountered in the overworld, it will last until replaced. In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Max Flare causes harsh sunlight after dealing damage.

There is also a variation of harsh sunlight called extremely harsh sunlight (Japanese: 日差しがとても強い very intense sunlight). Extremely harsh sunlight can be encountered in the overworld or created using Desolate Land; if the latter, it lasts until the summoner is removed from the field (and no other Pokémon with Desolate Land remain on the field), the summoner is rotated out in a Rotation Battle, the summoner has Desolate Land suppressed or replaced, or heavy rain or strong winds are created by Primordial Sea or Delta Stream respectively.
