Fog (Japanese: きり Fog) is a type of weather that has only appeared in the Generation IV games Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, as well as Pokémon Battle Revolution. Fog also appears as an overworld-only effect in all games from Generation III onward. In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Fog causes Misty Terrain to occur naturally in battle.
No move or Ability can call fog; it only occurs naturally. In Generation IV, the move Defog removes fog in battle or in the overworld when it is used.
Description
| Event | Gen IV |
|---|---|

| After turn is complete | "The fog is deep..." |

In Generation VIII

Outside of battle
Fog makes the area difficult to see, especially obstacles and Trainers.
Sweet Scent and Honey will fail if there is non-aesthetic fog in the area.
In Generation VII, Sliggoo will evolve into Goodra when leveled up while it is foggy or raining in the overworld.
