Weather: Difference between revisions

The '''weather''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|天気|てんき}}''' ''weather'') is a set of mechanics in the Pokémon games that change the battle environment, activating {{Abilities}}, modifying certain [[move]]s, and potentially damaging the Pokémon in battle or affecting their [[stats]]. They have been included in every main series game since [[Generation II]]. In battle, weather is either determined by the location of a battle, due to overworld weather, or by a Pokémon creating a new type of weather with a move or Ability. Only one type of weather may be present at a time, and only the most recent type of weather will take effect.

In Generation II, only moves that cause weather were introduced and weather was only present in battles, not in the overworld. [[Generation III]] introduced overworld weather and [[:Category:Abilities with effects on weather conditions|weather-related Abilities]], as well as a new weather-causing move. The biggest modification to weather in [[Generation IV]] was the introduction of {{DL|In-battle effect item|Condition boosters|four rocks}} that, when held, would increase the duration of weather caused by a weather move. [[Generation V]] mostly introduced greater overworld weather variability, especially in [[seasons]] affecting the weather in certain locations.
