These moves were {{m|Sunny Day}}, which caused intense sunlight for five rounds; {{m|Rain Dance}}, which caused heavy rain for five rounds; and {{m|Sandstorm}}, which caused a sandstorm. These three moves can change the course of a battle, with intense sun and heavy rain powering up {{t|Fire}}- and {{type|Water}} moves, respectively, and powering down the other; intense sun also allows a Pokémon to execute {{m|SolarBeam}} without requiring a turn to charge it first, and heavy rain causes {{m|Thunder}} to never miss the target. A sandstorm slightly damages any Pokémon that are not {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, or {{type|Steel}}. | ||
