Weather (Masters)
Weather is a type of field effect in Pokémon Masters EX that affects all Pokémon on the field, based on the mechanic of the same name from the core series games. Only one type of weather may be present at a time, with any new weather condition put in place overwriting the previous weather condition. Weather can be used concurrently alongside terrain and zones.
At normal game speed, weather conditions generally last for 45 seconds. This excludes time that sync pairs spend performing sync moves or max moves, but this includes time spent on everything else (e.g., moves' animation times, stats getting raised or lowered, taking damage from hail or a sandstorm, skills activating, or status conditions being applied or taking effect). At faster speeds, weather conditions last shorter to accommodate for quicker gameplay. However, the duration of a weather condition can be extended if the same type of weather is summoned again or if a Pokémon on the field has a certain skill that extends the duration of the weather.
There are four types of weather conditions available in the game: sunny, rain, hail, and sandstorm. Each weather condition behaves similarly to the weather conditions in the core series games, with some differences.
Effects
- Sunny: Boosts Fire-type attacks by 50%. Additionally, Pokémon cannot be frozen, and previous Pokémon that were frozen prior to the weather condition being implemented will not be frozen anymore after the weather takes effect.
- Rain: Boosts Water-type attacks by 50%.
- Hail: Damages sync pairs after the Trainer or Pokémon takes an action.
- Sandstorm: Damages sync pairs after the Trainer or Pokémon takes an action.
Unlike in the core series games, Ice-type Pokémon are not naturally immune to damage from hail; similarly, Rock-type, Steel-type, and Ground-type Pokémon are not naturally immune to damage from sandstorm. Instead, the effects of hail and sandstorm can be nullified by passive skills such as Snow Shelter and Sand Shelter.
Setting weather
Weather conditions may be applied through Pokémon moves, buddy moves, max moves, and skills. Some 
Field sync pairs can set a weather condition using their sync move after being raised to 
6★ EX (including those with the Field EX role).
By Pokémon move
By buddy move
| Buddy move | Type | Category | Weather | Effect | Sync pair |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crushing Earthquake | Ground | Status | Sandstorm | Activation Condition: When the user's Attack is raised.
Deactivation Condition: When the user's Attack is not raised. The more the user's Sp. Atk is raised, the greater the power of this attack. Causes a sandstorm the first time this attack move is successful each battle. Lowers the target's Speed by one stat rank. |
 Giovanni & Rhydon |
| Fiery Wings Flare Blitz | Fire | Status | Sunny | Activation Condition: When there is at least one Pokémon with a lowered Type Rebuff on the opponent's field of play.
Deactivation Condition: When there are no longer any Pokémon with a lowered Type Rebuff on the opponent's field of play. Removes the frozen condition from the user. If the target's stats are lowered, the amount of decrease is doubled. Makes the weather sunny the first time this attack move is successful each battle. Has a chance (10%) of leaving the target burned. |
 Leaf (Champion) & Moltres |
| Transformational Double Team | Normal | Status | Rain | Activation Condition: When any allies' attack moves hit a total of 10 times while this move is deactivated.
Deactivation Condition: When this move is used. Raises the evasiveness of all allied sync pairs by two stat ranks. Increases the Physical Moves ↑ Next effect of all allied sync pairs by two ranks when the user's sync move is Dark type. Turns the field of play's zone into a Dark Zone when the user's sync move is Dark type. (A Dark Zone powers up Dark-type attacks.) Increases the Special Moves ↑ Next effect of all allied sync pairs by two ranks when the user's sync move is Water type. Makes the weather rainy when the user's sync move is Water type. |

By max move
By skill
By 6★ EX sync move
The following field sync pairs, when raised to 6★ EX, will implement a weather condition just before their sync move is used for the first time in a battle. The duration of this weather is also extended by 50%. Sync pairs with a field EX role need to be raised to 6★ EX and receive a Field Roll Cake in order to access this effect.

Removing weather
Except in certain circumstances, such as a battle where all field effects are permanent, weather conditions will automatically disappear after a certain amount of time. The only way to remove a weather condition before the end of this timer is by setting up a new weather condition, which will override the previous one, or using the skill Weather Wipe.

Sync moves
Ignoring other sources of power boosts, the following sync moves double in power when certain weather conditions are active. For damage-dealing Water- and Fire-type sync moves, this power-doubling feature stacks multiplicatively with the type-matching damage boosts that rainy and sunny weather provide, which can make the power of those types of attacks be at least tripled.
