The "'''Simultaneoussimultaneous Weatherweather Glitchglitch'''" or often the "''Acid Rain Glitchglitch''" refers to a [[Glitch|glitch]]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 Weatherweather Glitchglitch''' 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.
Line 19:
#Sandstorm - Sandstorm is a seventh priority in-game effect, hence the game should only diplay dialogue for Rain.
 
Rain cannot be used to activate the '''Simultaneoussimultaneous Weatherweather Glitchglitch''' 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.

Line 38:
#Switch to a Pokémon with the move Pursuit, ideally the opponent should switch to a Pokémon with relatively low HP, Defense or Special Defense so that the player's Pokémon can defeat the opponent's Pokémon in one move by using Pursuit.
#The opponent should attempt to switch his or her Pokémon but the player should use Pursuit and defeat it in one hit.
#When the opponent sends out his or her next Pokémon the '''Simultaneoussimultaneous Weatherweather Glitchglitch''' should activate and Weather Effects for all those below the priority of the initial Weather Effect should happen in the same turn.
