Weather Ball is a Normal-type move introduced in Generation III that was the signature move of Castform until Generation IV.
Effect
In Battle
An attack move that varies in power and type depending on the weather. When no weather condition is in effect, Weather Ball is a normal type move. During any weather condition, Weather Ball's type changes and its base power doubles to 100. It will be:
- Fire-type if it is sunny.
- Water-type if it is raining.
- Ice-type if it is hailing.
- Rock-type if there is a sandstorm.
- Normal-type if no weather condition is in effect.
- ???-type if Shadow Sky is under effect.
Type power-ups from the weather will be put into effect, as well as STAB caused by Castform's type changing from its ability, Forecast.
Contests
A highly appealing move.
Super Contests
Earn +2 if the Judge's Voltage goes up.
