Added mention of Max Flare. It's likely it follows the same number of turns as Drought and Sunny Day, but we can't say for certain until the game releases.

It will last for five turns if created using {{a|Drought}} ([[Generation VI]] onwards) or {{m|Sunny Day}}, or eight if created by a Pokémon holding a [[Heat Rock]]. If created using Drought (prior to Generation VI) or encountered in the overworld, it will last until replaced.

In the upcoming {{g|Sword and Shield}}, {{m|Max Flare}} causes harsh sunlight after dealing damage.


There is also a variation of harsh sunlight called '''extremely harsh sunlight''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|日差しがとても強い|ひざしがとてもつよい}}''' ''very intense sunlight''). Extremely harsh sunlight can be encountered in the overworld or created using {{a|Desolate Land}}; if the latter, it lasts until the summoner is removed from the field (and no other Pokémon with Desolate Land remain on the field), the summoner is rotated out in a Rotation Battle, the summoner has Desolate Land suppressed or replaced, or [[Rain|heavy rain]] or [[strong winds]] are created by {{a|Primordial Sea}} or {{a|Delta Stream}} respectively.
