'''Hail''' (Japanese: '''あられ''' ''Hail'') is a [[weather conditions|weather condition]] introduced in battle in [[Generation III]]. It was introduced in the overworld in [[Generation IV]].


It will last for five turns if created using {{m|Hail}} (eight if the user is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Icy Rock}}) or {{a|Snow Warning}} ([[Generation VI]] only). If encountered in the overworld or created using Snow Warning (prior to Generation VI), it will last until replaced.
'''Hail''' (Japanese: '''あられ''' ''Hail'') is a type of [[weather]] introduced in battle in [[Generation III]]. It was introduced in the overworld in [[Generation IV]].
 
It will last for five turns if created using {{a|Snow Warning}} ([[Generation VI]] onward) or {{m|Hail}}, or eight, if created by a Pokémon holding an [[Icy Rock]]. If created using Snow Warning (prior to Generation VI) or encountered in the overworld, it will last until replaced.
 
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, {{m|Max Hailstorm}} causes a hailstorm after dealing damage.
 
Hail does not exist in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] and [[Generation IX]], as it has been replaced by [[snow]].

In [[Galar]], there are different types of weather occurring in the [[Wild Area]] and the [[Crown Tundra]]. The type of weather will affect which wild Pokémon appear in the area. During Snow and Blizzard overworld weather, the in-battle weather condition will be Hail. There are nine types of weather in the Wild Area. It is the only weather condition to not occur in the [[Isle of Armor]].
For the Blizzard overworld weather to occur in the Wild Area, there is a prerequisite to have first visited Hammerlocke.

Additionally, in the following dungeons, [[Pokémon]] with {{a|Snow Warning}} can spawn, causing hail to occur and possibly override existing weather:
*In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness|Explorers]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|series]]:
** {{p|Snover}} in [[Crevice Cave]]
** {{p|Abomasnow}} in [[Hidden Land]], floors 20-24 of [[Zero Isle South]], floors 20-24 of [[Destiny Tower (Explorers of Sky)|Destiny Tower]] and in [[Oblivion Forest]]

====Advantages====
* At the end of each turn, damages each Pokémon for <sup>1</sup>/<sub>16</sub> of its maximum HP, unless it is {{type|Ice}}; has one of the Abilities {{a|Ice Body}}, {{a|Snow Cloak}}, {{a|Magic Guard}}, or {{a|Overcoat}}; or is holding [[Safety Goggles]].
* Activates the following [[Ability|Abilities]]: {{a|Forecast}}, {{a|Ice Body}}, and {{a|Snow Cloak}}.

* Changes {{m|Weather Ball}} to a {{type|Ice}} move and doubles its power.
** Causes Forecast to change {{p|Castform}} to its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Castform|Snowy Form]].
* Changes {{p|Castform}} to its [[Form differences#Castform|Hail Form]].
* Changes {{m|Weather Ball}} to an {{type|Ice}} move and doubles its power.

* Halves the power of {{m|Solar Beam}} and {{m|Solar Blade}}.
====Disadvantages====
* Causes {{m|Moonlight}}, {{m|Synthesis}}, and {{m|Morning Sun}} to recover ¼ of the user's maximum {{stat|HP}}.
* Damages all Pokémon that do not have the {{type|Ice}} or the Abilities {{a|Ice Body}}, {{a|Snow Cloak}}, {{a|Magic Guard}}, or {{a|Overcoat}}.
* Allows {{m|Aurora Veil}} to be used, though the effect lingers even after Hail ends.
* Causes {{m|Solar Beam}} to deal only half its damage.
* Causes {{m|Moonlight}}, {{m|Synthesis}}, and {{m|Morning Sun}} to recover ¼ of max {{stat|HP}} (half the normal amount in [[Generation II]]).


===Outside of battle===
===Outside of battle===
Since Generation IV, {{m|Sweet Scent}} will fail if it is hailing in the area, or if any other weather condition is present.
{{m|Sweet Scent}} and [[Honey]] will fail if it is hailing in the area.


==Variations==
==Variations==
===Light snow===
===Light snow===
Snow falls slowly to the ground. It is in [[Snowpoint City]], in occasionn on [[Acuity Lakefront]] and {{rt|216|Sinnoh}} on January 12 in Generation IV. In [[Generation V]], it is referred to as "'''Snowy'''" by the gate's bulletin and is found on many days during {{season|winter}} in all places snow falls. In [[Generation VI]], it is occasionally found in [[Dendemille Town]] and Anistar City, and sometimes falls outside [[Frost Cavern]] in the day after rescuing {{p|Abomasnow}}. No battles take place outside any buildings in Snowpoint City, so it is unclear if any weather is assumed in battle in Generation IV. In Generation V, however, light snow does not cause hail in battle, while in Generation IV and VI, it does.


Found in [[Snowpoint City]] (Also occasionally found in [[Dendemille Town]]). No battles take place outside any buildings in Snowpoint City or Dendemille Town so it is unclear if any weather condition is assumed in battle.
===Hailstorm===
 
Precipitate falls more quickly and heavily, falling diagonally from one of the top corners of the screen, leaving the impression that it is being carried by strong winds, and sometimes appears to be mixed with hail. In Generation IV, it is found on {{rt|216|Sinnoh}}, [[Acuity Lakefront]], and at the summit of [[Mt. Silver]]. In Generation V, it is referred to as "'''Hail'''" by the gate's bulletin and is found on some days during the winter in [[Driftveil City]], [[Cold Storage]]{{sup/5|BW}}, {{rt|6|Unova}}, [[Mistralton City]], {{rt|7|Unova}}, and [[Twist Mountain]]. In Generation VI, there is always a hailstorm on {{rt|17|Kalos}}, as well as sometimes outside [[Frost Cavern]], although only before rescuing {{p|Abomasnow}}.
===Heavy snow===
Snow falls more quickly and heavily, falling diagonally from one of the top corners of the screen (leaving the impression that it is being carried by strong winds), and sometimes appears to be mixed with hail. Found on {{rt|216|Sinnoh}}, [[Acuity Lakefront]] and sometimes in [[Icirrus City]] and {{rt|8|Unova}} during the Winter.


===Blizzard===
===Blizzard===
Snow whips around, making it difficult to see. Found on {{rt|217|Sinnoh}}, and less often on {{rt|216|Sinnoh}}.
Snow whips around, making it difficult to see. In Generation IV, it is found on {{rt|217|Sinnoh}}, and less often on {{rt|216|Sinnoh}}. In Generation V, it is only found occasionally in [[Icirrus City]], [[Dragonspiral Tower]], and {{rt|8|Unova}} in the winter.

*An unused hail quote appears within the code of the games.
* Despite being referred to as "{{wp|hail}}" in the games, the way it is depicted is more similar to {{wp|ice pellets}}. While hail cannot occur during a snowstorm or in snowy areas in the real world, ice pellets can.

** In real life, hail most commonly occurs in winter in mild climates. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black, White]], [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2, and White 2]], just like in real life, hail only occurs in areas with a warmer climate (e.g. [[Driftveil City]]); colder climates (e.g. [[Icirrus City]], [[Dragonspiral Tower]] and {{rt|8|Unova}}) instead have light snow or blizzards.

Max Hailstorm 		Snow Warning

Hail (Japanese: あられ Hail) is a type of weather introduced in battle in Generation III. It was introduced in the overworld in Generation IV.

It will last for five turns if created using Snow Warning (Generation VI onward) or Hail, or eight, if created by a Pokémon holding an Icy Rock. If created using Snow Warning (prior to Generation VI) or encountered in the overworld, it will last until replaced.

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Max Hailstorm causes a hailstorm after dealing damage.

Hail does not exist in Pokémon Legends: Arceus and Generation IX, as it has been replaced by snow.

In Galar, there are different types of weather occurring in the Wild Area and the Crown Tundra. The type of weather will affect which wild Pokémon appear in the area. During Snow and Blizzard overworld weather, the in-battle weather condition will be Hail. There are nine types of weather in the Wild Area. It is the only weather condition to not occur in the Isle of Armor. For the Blizzard overworld weather to occur in the Wild Area, there is a prerequisite to have first visited Hammerlocke.

Additionally, in the following dungeons, Pokémon with Snow Warning can spawn, causing hail to occur and possibly override existing weather:

Effects

Hawlucha taking damage from hail

In battle

Outside of battle

Sweet Scent and Honey will fail if it is hailing in the area.

Variations

Light snow

Snow falls slowly to the ground. It is in Snowpoint City, in occasionn on Acuity Lakefront and Route 216 on January 12 in Generation IV. In Generation V, it is referred to as "Snowy" by the gate's bulletin and is found on many days during winter in all places snow falls. In Generation VI, it is occasionally found in Dendemille Town and Anistar City, and sometimes falls outside Frost Cavern in the day after rescuing Abomasnow. No battles take place outside any buildings in Snowpoint City, so it is unclear if any weather is assumed in battle in Generation IV. In Generation V, however, light snow does not cause hail in battle, while in Generation IV and VI, it does.

Hailstorm

Precipitate falls more quickly and heavily, falling diagonally from one of the top corners of the screen, leaving the impression that it is being carried by strong winds, and sometimes appears to be mixed with hail. In Generation IV, it is found on Route 216, Acuity Lakefront, and at the summit of Mt. Silver. In Generation V, it is referred to as "Hail" by the gate's bulletin and is found on some days during the winter in Driftveil City, Cold StorageBW, Route 6, Mistralton City, Route 7, and Twist Mountain. In Generation VI, there is always a hailstorm on Route 17, as well as sometimes outside Frost Cavern, although only before rescuing Abomasnow.

Blizzard

Snow whips around, making it difficult to see. In Generation IV, it is found on Route 217, and less often on Route 216. In Generation V, it is only found occasionally in Icirrus City, Dragonspiral Tower, and Route 8 in the winter.
