The type that Weather Ball is depends on the [[weather conditions]] at the time it is used. It will be {{t|Fire}} if {{m|Sunny Day}} is under effect, {{t|Water}} if {{m|Rain Dance}} is under effect, {{t|Ice}} if {{m|Hail}} is under effect, {{t|Rock}} if {{m|Sandstorm}} is under effect, It will be a [[Shadow moves|Shadow move]] (and therefore {{type2|???}}) if {{m|Shadow Sky}} is under effect in [[Pokémon XD]], and {{t|Normal}} in any other circumstance. If it is used when any weather condition is in effect, its base power becomes 100. This makes it very useful, as if it is used during rain or sunshine, the type powerups the weather causes will change the power from 100 to 150, and because of the [[STAB]] caused by [[Castform]]'s {{a|Forecast}}, its power will be 225, with no drawbacks. | The type that Weather Ball is depends on the [[weather conditions]] at the time it is used.

Effect
The type that Weather Ball is depends on the weather conditions at the time it is used. It will be Fire if Sunny Day is under effect, Water if Rain Dance is under effect, Ice if Hail is under effect, Rock if Sandstorm is under effect, It will be a Shadow move (and therefore Template:Type2) if Shadow Sky is under effect in Pokémon XD, and Normal in any other circumstance. If it is used when any weather condition is in effect, its base power becomes 100. This makes it very useful, as if it is used during rain or sunshine, the type powerups the weather causes will change the power from 100 to 150, and because of the STAB caused by Castform's Forecast, its power will be 225, with no drawbacks. It is not quite as useful on Roserade.
