The "''' |
The "'''simultaneous weather glitch'''" or often the "''Acid Rain glitch''" refers to one in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Pokémon Platinum which involves the initialization of multiple Weather Effects on the same turn, or arguably the initialisation of an undefined [[Glitch|glitch]] Weather Effect. |

When the '''Simultaneous |
When the '''Simultaneous weather glitch''' is activated the game will cause all of the Weather Effects below the current Weather Effect's priority to happen all at once in the same turn; this also includes Trick Room, Gravity and Uproar which the game technically considers to be the 'top priority Weather Effects'. |
||
An unusual fact about this glitch is that as long as the player's Pokémon does not have an ability which makes the side effects of the Weather negligible such as Air Lock or Sand Veil all of the normal Weather Effects will deal damage to the player's Pokémon, this even includes the ones which normally do not harm any Pokémon through normal gameplay, such as Rain. |

Rain cannot be used to activate the '''simultaneous weather glitch''' because it is an eighth priority in-game effect; this is the last valid Weather Effect, therefore the game would set the Weather to normal. |
