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 Warning (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. | Within the fourth generation, the weather effects seem to be going strong.

Another new weather condition introduced in Generation IV was the Fog condition. Instead of having a move to activate it, however, there was a move introduced to ''clear'' it away. | |||
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}}. | 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.
