:I would support moving the page to "strong winds". We had pre-release ORAS info use that name as well, and now the games use it too. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 09:16, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

"Strong winds"

The game doesn't use "strong winds" when the ability activates. IIRC, it uses something like "mysterious aura". When I get home, I'll check, but it's not strong winds. Pikachu Bros. (talk) 18:13, 6 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

That came from the same place as "extremely harsh sunlight"/"heavy rain" for Desolate Land/Primordial Sea. Tiddlywinks (talk) 19:22, 6 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
I didn't realize the official website used that term. Sorry about that. Pikachu Bros. (talk) 19:26, 6 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Strong winds

Super Mystery Dungeons refers to it as such. Eridanus (talk) 08:30, 4 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Core series games > spin-off games > other officially published material, but it could still be mentioned, as well as whatever it's called in other languages as "strong winds". --Abcboy (talk) 11:23, 4 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Super-effective removal

Is there a reason to doubt that super-effectivity against Flying types is just removed/overridden, similar to how Ground ineffectiveness is by Iron Ball etc.? (In particular, is the message "weakened the move" still followed by "very effective" even if Flying was the only weakness?) In other words, is there a specific reason to assume Expert Belt is not "etc." when we say "for the purposes of damage-reducing Berries, Weakness Policy, etc."?

New Title: Strong Winds?

In Pokémon Sun and Moon, the official name of the "mysterious air current" is "Strong Winds".

This information can be found on the bottom screen during a battle where the condition is active:

Strong Winds
The strong winds condition.
The power of supereffective moves against
Flying-type Pokémon will be weakened.

This should be a core-series confirmation of the official name of this condition. The use of "mysterious air current" could just be a description of the condition.
