Sunny Day (Japanese: にほんばれ Clear Sky) is a non-damaging Fire-type move introduced in Generation II.
It is:
- TM11 from Generation II to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, and in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
- TM34 in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
- TM049 in Generation IX.
Effect
Generation II
When this move is used, the sunlight will brighten the field. This effect will last for 5 turns. This clears any other type of weather and is usable even when it's already sunny.
While Sunny Day is in effect, the base power of Fire-type moves will be increased by 50%, and the base power of Water-type moves will be decreased by 50%. In addition to this, the moves Synthesis, Morning Sun, and Moonlight will recover twice as much HP as under clear conditions, and Solar Beam will not require a turn to charge. The accuracy of Thunder is also lowered to 50%.
Generations III and IV
This move now fails when the weather is sunny.
Synthesis, Morning Sun, and Moonlight will now instead recover ⅔ of the user's HP in harsh sunlight. Additionally, Castform (due to its Ability, Forecast) and Weather Ball become Fire-type.
If a Heat Rock is held when Sunny Day is used, the duration of sunlight lengthens from 5 to 8 turns. Additionally, the following Abilities will have the effects listed while the sun is shining:
- Pokémon with the Chlorophyll Ability will have their Speed doubled.
- Pokémon with the Dry Skin Ability will lose ⅛ of their maximum HP at the end of each turn.
- Pokémon with the Flower Gift Ability will raise the team's Attack and Special Defense by 50%. Cherrim will transform into its Sunshine Form, though this is not tied to Flower Gift itself in Generation IV.
- Pokémon with the Solar Power Ability will have their Special Attack raised by 50% and lose ⅛ of their HP each turn.
- Pokémon with the Leaf Guard Ability will be immune to being inflicted with non-volatile status conditions.
Sunny Day can be used as the first move of a Pokémon Contest combination, causing Blast Burn, Blaze Kick, Ember, Eruption, Fire Blast, Fire Punch, Fire Spin, Flame Wheel, Flamethrower, Heat Wave, Moonlight, Morning Sun, Overheat, Sacred Fire, SolarBeam, Synthesis, Weather Ball, and Will-O-Wisp to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn.
Generation V to VIII
Growth now raises the user's Attack and Special Attack by two stages instead of just one. Hurricane's accuracy will be lowered, similarly to Thunder. Harvest will never fail to restore a Berry.
If heavy rain, extremely harsh sunlight, or strong winds are present, Sunny Day will fail.
While Sunny Day is in effect, Solar Blade will not require a turn to charge.
Sunny Day can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing certain moves (Growth, Moonlight, Morning Sun, Solar Beam, Synthesis, and Weather Ball) to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.
If powered up by a Firium Z into Z-Sunny Day, the user's Speed stat is raised by one stage.
Generation IX
Sunny Day can no longer override weather in the overworld.
