Acid Rain glitch: Difference between revisions

The "'''simultaneousAcid weatherRain glitch'''" or often the "''Acid'Simultaneous Rainweather glitch''"' refers to onea glitch in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Pokémon Platinum whichwhere involvesmultiple theweather initialization of multipleeffects Weatherwill Effectshappen on the same turn, or arguably the initialisation of an undefined [[Glitch|glitch]] Weather Effect.

When the '''simultaneousAcid weatherRain glitch''' is activated the game will cause all of the Weatherweather Effectseffects below the current Weatherweather Effecteffect'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 Weatherweather negligible such as Air Lock or Sand Veil all of the normal Weatherweather Effectseffects 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 Rainrain.

Rain cannot be used to activate the '''simultaneousAcid weatherRain glitch''' because it is an eighth priority in-game effect; this is the last valid Weatherweather Effecteffect, therefore the game would set the Weatherweather to normal.

==Castform, Cherrim and the SimultaneousAcid WeatherRain Glitchglitch==

Presuming that the player activated the glitch with a Weatherweather Effecteffect which has a priority that is above that of Sunshinesunshine, such as Trick Room or Hail, the weather effects will alternate between Sunshinesunshine and Rainrain. Since Castform and Cherrim transform into their Sunlight Forme and Positive Forme when the Sun is in effect, Castform or Cherrim would then transform into either their Rain Forme and Negative Forme respectively for when the Rain is in effect; Castform and Cherrim would continuously switch between both of these formes in an endless loop. As a result of this, the player is forced to switchpower his or her Pokémontheir game off.

#A Pokémon with any in-game Weatherweather Effecteffect altering Ability or move which is not Drizzle or Rain Dance because Rainrain is the lowest priority Weatherweather Effecteffect. The player can also use moves such as Trick Room, Gravity and Uproar as the effects of these moves are technically considered to be Weather effects.

#On the first turn, set up any Weatherweather Effecteffect except Rainrain. Abomasnow, Groudon and Hippowdon are ideal because their abilities can set up either Hail, Sunlight or a Sandstorm respectively.

#When the opponent sends out his or her next Pokémon the '''simultaneousAcid weatherRain glitch''' should activate and Weatherweather Effectseffects for all thoseeffects below the priority of the initial Weatherweather Effecteffect should happen in the same turn.
