Weather Ball (move): Difference between revisions

'''Weather Ball''' (Japanese: '''ウェザーボール''' ''Weather Ball'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. Prior to [[Generation IV]], it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Castform}}.

==Effect==

When the [[weather]] is clear, Weather Ball is a {{type|Normal}} move. During any type of weather, Weather Ball's [[power]] doubles to 100 (type power-ups from the weather will be put into effect in addition to this boost).

* {{type|???}} if there is a {{weather|shadowy aura}}.

Weather Ball is unaffected by {{a|Normalize}}, {{a|Pixilate}}, {{a|Refrigerate}}, and {{a|Aerilate}}. However, it is affected by {{m|Ion Deluge}} (if the move would be Normal-type) and {{m|Electrify}}.
