Weather affects how battles goYou'll experience different weather conditions in some areas of the Unova region. The weather conditions not only change the appearance of areas but also affect Pokmon battles.You can check the current weather condition on the touch Screen.
the four weather conditionsrain Winning StrategieSWhen the weather condition is rain, the power of Water-type moves goes up and the power of fire-type moves goes down.
SandstormWhen the weather condition is Sandstorm, each pokmon takes damage every turn except ground-, rock-, and Steel-type pokmon.
HailWhen the weather condition is Hail, each pokmon takes damage every turn except ice-type pokmon.
SunnyWhen the weather is Sunny, the power of fire-type moves goes up and the power of Water-type moves goes down.
Build a strong team that covers its weak pointsEvery Pokmon type has its weaknesses. If you fill your team with just one type, then it only takes one supereffective move type to put your entire party at risk. Instead, try building a team with Pokmon whose strengths and weaknesses cover for each other, allowing you to take on any Pokmon you encounter.main

Snivy is weak against Fire-type moves. That's why you want Panpour, a Pokmon who's strong against Fire-type Pokmon. However, Panpour is weak against Electric-type Pokmon, so add Sandile for its advantage over Electric types.

pansage, pansear, and panpour can be quite helpful
The Pansage, Pansear, or Panpour you receive in the Dreamyard can be quite a helpful addition to your party. It would be a waste to stop training them after your Striaton City Gym battle. These three evolve with special stones, but they won't learn moves by leveling up once they are evolved. You should let them learn useful moves before they evolve. a good way to raise pansage primer for pokmon training These moves are especially useful for Pansage. Leech Seed is a move that plants a seed on the target to steal some HP every turn. SolarBeam is another move to turn to, as it is one of the strongest Grass-type moves. Its power is as high as 120. Usually, SolarBeam requires an extra turn to charge up, but if the weather is Sunny, it can be used immediately. recommended moves to learn by leveling up Leech Seed Seed Bomb torment Crunchgrass grass Dark DarkLv. 16 Lv. 22 Lv. 25 Lv. 43
