A new Ability is introduced that acts as a counterpart to some of the Abilities introduced in Generation III. {{a|Snow Warning}} causes a hailstorm for the duration of the battle, in the same way as {{a|Drought}}, {{a|Drizzle}} and {{a|Sand Stream}}. Four [[held item]]s were also introduced, which each correspond to a certain weather condition and will increase the duration of the weather condition, if caused by a move used by the holder, by three turns. | A new Ability is introduced that acts as a counterpart to some of the Abilities introduced in Generation III. {{a|Snow Warning}} causes a hailstorm for the duration of the battle, in the same way as {{a|Drought}}, {{a|Drizzle}} and {{a|Sand Stream}}.

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, {{m|Gravity}} makes all Pokémon fall to the ground, enabling all Pokémon to be susceptible to things such as {{type|Ground}} moves, {{m|Spikes}}, {{a|Arena Trap}}, and others; decreases the {{stat|evasion}} of all Pokémon by two stages; as well as disabling moves like {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}. {{m|Trick Room}} makes slower Pokémon attack first, and {{m|Tailwind}} doubles the {{stat|Speed}} of the user's team for three turns. | 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.
