I have been watching battling videos on youtube recently and came across some alledged weather glitch on pokemon platinum where it is sandstorming and raining at the same time, the user didn't explain how this occured but I'm just a little curious how this could have happened can anyone explain this please?

Supposedly if a pokemon uses Pursuit on a pokemon that is switching out, and there is a weather effect in play, all of the weather conditions occur at the end of the turn. It would look like this:


-*Raining Animation*
- Pokemon 1 was hurt by its *insert ability*
- Pokemon 2 was hurt by its *insert ability*
-*Sandstorm Animation*
- Pokemon 1 was hurt by its *insert ability*
- Pokemon 2 was hurt by its *insert ability*
-*Hail Animation*
- Pokemon 1 was hurt by its *insert ability*
- Pokemon 2 was hurt by its *insert ability*
-*Sunny Animation
- Pokemon 1 was hurt by its *insert ability*
- Pokemon 2 was hurt by its *insert ability*

Each time a pokemon gets hurt, it loses the amount of health it would usually lose for getting hit by a sandstorm or hail (about 6% of overall health).

This has an interesting effect on some pokemon's abilities. For example:

-Clefable is not hurt at all due to Magic Guard ability
-Pokemon with Ice Body are healed four times instead of being hurt four times
-Castform will endlessly change forms (you have to reset)
-Cherrim (i think) will endlessly change forms (you have to reset)

Why would it endlessly Change Forms? Wouldn't it stop when it comes time to use your move?
Cherrim is the same way, it would just close up when the sun leaves, right?

It doesn't work that way. The weather is not constantly changing, its just all there at the same time (the animations happen one after another, though).

Its just a glitch in Platinum. Use Pursuit on a pokemon that is switching out while there is a weather condition in effect (read the second post).
