I certainly hope that the many hundreds of concepts proposed are not jading the views of the reviewers of this thread.
Considering that auto-weather is a broken concept, perhaps a Weather Continuer would not be so broken.
Rather than automatically start a condition like rain or sun, a Weather Continuer would lengthen the life span of the current weather condition rather than actually start it - in other words, another pokemon would start the weather condition, and after 4 or 5 turns this might be brought it to continue it. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways: by ability (for example, by switching in the pokemon to continue the weather), by unique item, or by unique move that propogates the current weather. It might also be that the current weather condition simply continues while the pokemon is out, depending on various conditions like the pokemon's health or absence/presence of status changes, etc.
This need not be confined to a single pokemon, either, if opinion favors a specific Weather Continuer for the different types of weather.
Since there are many different ways even beyond the ones I have stated to go about accomplishing a Weather Continuer, I feel that the few examples I have given are simply guides to further exploration of the potential avenues for development of this pokemon rather than specifications that break the conditions set out in this thread.
