Since [[Generation V]], certain visual and sound effects are applied when a Pokémon lands on the surface of a battlefield, depending on the Pokémon's weight (ignoring weight-changing effects). {{p|Diglett}}, {{p|Dugtrio}}, {{me|Gengar}}, and Pokémon that float above the surface of the battlefield do not cause any such effects. Pokémon holding an [[Air Balloon]] also do not cause any such effects, even if the item's function is being suppressed by {{a|Klutz}} or {{m|Magic Room}}.

When a Pokémon is [[Dynamax]]ed, it is sent out from a Dynamaxed Poké Ball and causing a landing visual effect (unless the Pokémon cannot land on the ground, such as {{p|Diglett}} or {{p|Dugtrio}}). This visual effect is unaffected by weight.
