===Generation IV===
===Generation IV===
Within the fourth generation, the weather effects seem to be going strong. At one point in [[Sinnoh]], it is actually possible to travel on a [[Route 217|route covered in snow]]. Also in Generation IV, a [[Snow Storm (ability)|new ability]] was released that serves much like {{a|Drought}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, and {{a|Sand Stream}}, excepting the fact that it permanently activates a hailstorm instead of sunlight, rain, or sandstorm.

More interesting things introduced within Generation IV were other conditions that had nothing to do with the weather, but behaved similarly to the weather-activating moves. Like the weather conditions, these moves would affect all Pokémon on the field for five turns, and in various ways. For example, [[Gravity (move)|one move]] would rid [[Levitate (ability)|Levitating]] Pokémon of their powers, and force both them and {{type2|Flying}}s to take damage from {{type2|Ground}} moves, as well as disabling moves like {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Bounce}}.
