Even if the Pokémon is normally immune to a type of weather due to its type ({{type|Ice}} Pokémon with hail, and {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon with a sandstorm), they will accumulate damage four times each turn, with the cause of the damage identified as their [[Ability]], rather than the weather. In this way, a {{p|Pikachu}} in battle can be hurt by its {{a|Static}}, a {{p|Weezing}} by its {{a|Levitate}}, or an {{p|Empoleon}} by its {{a|Torrent}}.

Conversely, a Pokémon with an Ability that heals it in certain types of weather, such as {{a|Ice Body}} or {{a|Rain Dish}}, will not take damage, but instead be healed four times every turn until they are fully healed, and then, the weather will hurt it. {{a|Dry Skin}}, which heals in some weather and hurts in other weather, will work as it normally does, healing with one condition and hurting with the other.
