Air Lock

Description

All effects of fog, hail, rain, sandstorm, and sunlight are temporarily disabled as long as this Pokemon is in play. The weather condition will continue to prevail until it fades or is replaced, but the battle will act as if there is no weather condition in play. However, the game will report the messages about what weather is active, and weather-related forms, such as Cherrim and Castform, will still change and take effect. When a Pokemon with Air Lock enters battle, an activation notification of " has Air Lock!" will be given.

Competitive Use

Only one Pokemon has access to Air Lock, and that’s Rayquaza. In Ubers, Rayquaza can stymie to an extent all the Pokemon reliant on weather. Ubers is the tier where the most fearsome auto-weather inducers roam, namely Kyogre and Groudon. While Rayquaza is on the field, Chlorophyll and Swift Swim users no longer get their Speed boost, Thunder users, such as Kyogre, lose their perfect accuracy, and some of the sting is taken off boosted Water- and Fire-type attacks in rain and sun, respectively.
