It's a result of applying both rain and sun. Rain makes water moves do 150%, and then sun halves that (ie making the total 75%); the same applies to fire type moves.

oh, i thought having sun would simply nullify rain's boost to water moves, by decreasing the original base power rather than the new base power. Oh well, thanks for clearing that up m8
Aurorus and Mamoswine will Have a Great Type Advantage--Bar fighting and steel types-- as it wont receive weather damage and can still use an attack boosting/defense mosting item. We'll also se diferent forms of heliolisk(all that weather reliant abilities). and what happens to Castform?
Castform is banned because it would constantly change forms for infinity. For the same reason Weather Ball is banned.
I've noticed that a lot of things don't work exactly how they do in the actual Acid Rain glitch, such as that Rain Dish or Ice Body users don't become immune to the weather damage when they are not at full health.
Actually weather ball would be ice, I think. It would just have 800 bp.
Remember when I said that some things don't work as intended? Well, the permanent weather sure doesn't work (at least visually), and weather moves aren't disabled. Have a replay that features both this AND me horribly snapping at a jester!

Can't fix the visual bug, but I figured out that sunny day had a typo so I fixed that in the code [replace weather: 'sandstorm' with weather: 'raindance']. Excadrill is taking damage due to "hail," so not a bug.
Having an ability that negates weather damage negates ALL weather damage. For some reason.
Also, see above about Rain Dish Blastoise taking damage while not at full health.
Mega Swampert yeah! It's ground so it doesn't take sandstorm damage, though it does take hail damage, and it gets waterfall 75% boost, and swift swim!
its not a 75% increase, its a 25% decrease in water moves. since rain boosts by 1.5 then sun halves that outcome.
Ok. Still tho. Pretty strongk
