Effect

When the weather is clear, Weather Ball is a Normal-type move. During any type of weather except strong winds, Weather Ball's power doubles to 100 (type power-ups from the weather will be put into effect in addition to this boost).

Weather Ball's type changes depending on the weather at the time it is used.

• Fire-type if it is sunny.
• Water-type if it is raining.
• Ice-type if it is hailing.
• Rock-type if there is a sandstorm.
• Normal-type if it is foggy, if there are strong winds, or there is no special weather condition in effect.
• ???-type if there is a shadowy aura.

Pokémon with Bulletproof are immune to Weather Ball, regardless of the weather.

When used during a shadowy aura, Weather Ball acts as a physical move.

Weather Ball can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, giving the user four extra appeal points if a weather summoning move was used in the prior turn. It is also part of a Contest Spectacular combination, giving the user three extra appeal points if a weather summoning move was used in the prior turn.

Generation IV

Weather Ball is affected by Normalize.

Generation V onwards

Weather Ball is unaffected by Normalize, Pixilate, Refrigerate, and Aerilate. However, it is affected by Ion Deluge (if the move would be Normal-type) and Electrify.

When used as a Z-Move with Normalium Z, Weather Ball will be turned into Breakneck Blitz, but then Breakneck Blitz will turn into the Z-Move of the type corresponding to the type Weather Ball would be in that weather. This does not occur if Weather Ball is turned into a Z-Move via another move like Sleep Talk. The same effect happens when Weather Ball is used as a Max Move, displaying as Max Strike but changing into the appropriate Max Move corresponding to the type Weather Ball would be in the current weather.

Trivia

• Despite Weather Ball becoming a Rock-type move in a sandstorm and a ???-type move in Shadow Sky, Castform itself will not change form under these conditions.
• Prior to Generation IV, Weather Ball was one of the only two moves (along with Hidden Power) which could be either physical or special, due to the damage category being determined by the type.
