Effect

In battle

When a Pokémon with Desolate Land enters the battle or a Pokémon gains the Ability Desolate Land, the Ability creates extremely harsh sunlight, a unique variation of intense sunlight. In a Rotation Battle, Desolate Land will not activate if the Pokémon is sent out in a rotated-out position, nor will it activate if the Pokémon is rotated in.

Along with the usual effects of intense sunlight, extremely harsh sunlight causes damage-dealing Water-type moves to fail. Additionally, extremely harsh sunlight causes the weather modifying moves Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Sandstorm, and Hail to fail if used, and causes the Abilities Drought, Drizzle, Sand Stream, and Snow Warning to fail to activate.

Extremely harsh sunlight will fade if the Pokémon is removed from the field, if the Pokémon is rotated out in a Rotation Battle, if the Pokémon has its Ability suppressed or replaced, or if the Abilities Primordial Sea or Delta Stream activate.
