'''Acid rain''' is a glitch in {{game|Platinum}}, heart gold and soul silver that results in the simultaneous occurrence of all [[weather conditions]] at once, thus damaging all Pokémon on the field. Even though it was discovered before the English release of the game, it is in both the Japanese and English versions.

==Cause==
If any weather effect(including Trick room, gravity, and uproar, but excluding rain) is in effect, if a player of Platinum/Heart gold/Soul Silver uses {{m|Pursuit}} on a Pokémon that is switching out on that turn and causes it to faint, the glitch will activate. Upon sending out the next Pokémon, the weather will have changed, and all four weather conditions will be going on at once until the end of the battle.

If a {{p|Castform}} or {{p|Cherrim}} is brought into battle, their ability will cause them to constantly transform, thus locking up the battle until the game is turned off. Castform, strangely, will only transform between its [[Form differences#Castform|Sun and Rain forms]].

===Forms===
There seem to be 2 versions of acid rain. One is activated via {{a|Sand Veil}}. The other is activated via {{a|Snow Warning}}.
The first version shows that all Pokémon (without the appropriate abilities) will be buffeted by Sandstorm. The second one shows that after each weather condition, all Pokémon are effected by their abilities (once again assuming the abilities don't negate the weather effect).
