DescriptionDeals damage. The move changes type and power depending on the weather conditions present. In rain, it becomes a 100 Base Power Water-type attack. In sun, it becomes a 100 Base Power Fire-type attack. In hail, it becomes a 100 Base Power Ice-type attack. In sandstorm, it becomes a 100 Base Power Rock-type attack. In normal conditions, it becomes a 50 Base Power Normal-type attack. These attacks also get a power boost from the weather, if applicable. Competitive UseThis move is only useful on weather-reliant sweepers such as Victreebel, who can use Weather Ball for a more powerful coverage move than Hidden Power. Rain sweepers have Hydro Pump and Surf, and hail sweepers have Blizzard, so sun sweepers are basically the only ones you will see using this move – the fact that the only Pokemon that will use Weather Ball are Grass-types notwithstanding. Related MovesSurf and Hydro Pump are more consistent and more powerful in rain, respectively. Flamethrower and Fire Blast are more consistent and more powerful in sun, respectively. Blizzard is more powerful and consistent in hail. |
