The glitch is triggered when a Pokemon is KO'd by Pursuit on the attempt escape and Hail or Sandstorm is in effect. All weather effects are shown at the end of the turn, and they each hurt you 6%, which results in a total 24% HP loss.

**The video got messed up at the end, the last like 3-4 minutes weren't suppose to be there, and just…I don't know.**

This is a Platinum glitch, it works with the ROM and the actually Japanese Platinum game, the english game is unknown since it's not out yet…


Apparantly there is a glitch on platinum where if one pokemon uses pursuit whilst a weather effect is in effect and the pokemon that attempts to switch faint the game will switch to some glitch weather effect or "Acid weather effect", curiously after each turn the game will quote the pokemons special ability when referring the weather effect; i.e heatran is hurt by its flame body

Copypasta from what I said on that other thread:

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)
