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

During [[weather conditions]], Forecast will change the [[type]] of the Pokémon with this ability.<br>
Depending on the [[weather]], Forecast will change {{p|Castform}}'s form, which also [[type change|changes its type]]. Castform changes as follows:
The type of a Pokémon with this ability will change as follows:
* During [[harsh sunlight]] or [[Harsh sunlight|extremely harsh sunlight]], it will become Sunny Form, which is {{type|Fire}}.
* It will become a {{type2|Fire}} if {{m|Sunny Day}} is in effect.
* During {{weather|hail}}, it will become Snowy Form, which is {{type|Ice}}.
* It will become a {{type2|Ice}} if {{m|Hail}} is in effect.
* During [[rain]] or [[Rain|heavy rain]], it will become Rainy Form, which is {{type|Water}}.
* It will become a {{type2|Water}} if {{m|Rain Dance}} is in effect.
* 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 revert to its natural type if {{m|Sandstorm}} or {{m|Shadow Sky}} is in effect, the weather returns to normal, or a Pokémon with {{a|Cloud Nine}} or {{a|Air Lock}} comes onto the field. The same is true when there is Fog.
** It will also revert to its normal form if a Pokémon on the field has {{a|Cloud Nine}} or {{a|Air Lock}}.
 
This ability is made specifically for Castform, and as such, if other Pokémon have this ability (either via {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{a|Trace}}) it will have no effect. Conversely, if Castform loses Forecast (either via {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Worry Seed}}) it will be stuck in whatever form it was in at the time.
This Ability has no effect on Pokémon other than Castform.
 
Forecast does not change Castform's form until after {{m|Stealth Rock}} deals damage.
 
====Generation III====
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}}).
 
Forecast can be copied by {{m|Role Play}} and {{a|Trace}}.
 
====Generation IV====
If Forecast is suppressed with {{m|Gastro Acid}}, it will be stuck in its current form.
 
Forecast cannot be copied by {{a|Trace}}.
 
====Generation V onward====
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}}.
