'''Forecast''' (Japanese: '''てんきや''' ''Temperamental'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It is the [[Signature Ability|signature Ability]] of {{p|Castform}}.

Depending on the [[weather]], Forecast will change {{p|Castform}}'s form, which also [[type change|changes its type]]. Castform changes as follows:

* During [[harsh sunlight]] or [[Harsh sunlight|extremely harsh sunlight]], it will become Sunny Form, which is {{type|Fire}}.

* During {{weather|hail}}, it will become Snowy Form, which is {{type|Ice}}.

* During [[rain]] or [[Rain|heavy rain]], it will become Rainy Form, which is {{type|Water}}.

* During a {{weather|sandstorm}}, {{weather|fog}}, [[strong winds]], a [[shadowy aura]], or clear weather, it will revert to its normal form, which is {{type|Normal}}.

** It will also revert to its normal form if a Pokémon on the field has {{a|Cloud Nine}} or {{a|Air Lock}}.

 

 

If a Pokémon {{m|transform}}s 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 {{a|Color Change}}).

 

 

If Forecast is suppressed with {{m|Gastro Acid}}, it will be stuck in its current form.

 

 

If a Pokémon {{m|transform}}s 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 {{m|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.

 

{{m|Role Play}} fails if the target has the Ability Forecast. {{m|Entrainment}} fails if the user has the Ability Forecast. Forecast cannot be copied by {{a|Power of Alchemy}} or {{a|Receiver}}, nor can it be traded by {{a|Wandering Spirit}}.
