Weather Ball is a Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation III.

Effect

Weather Ball deals damage of the Template:Type2. During any weather condition, Weather Ball attacks with a different type and its base power doubles to 100. The type that Weather Ball is depends on the weather conditions at the time it is used. It will be:

• Template:Type2 if Sunny Day is under effect.
• Template:Type2 if Rain Dance is under effect.
• Template:Type2 if Hail is under effect.
• Template:Type2 if Sandstorm is under effect.
• Shadow move (and therefore Template:Type2) if Shadow Sky is under effect (in Pokémon XD only).

Type power-ups from the weather will be put into effect, as well as STAB caused by Castform's type changing from its ability, Forecast.
