Castform's Weather Ball

[Team Pokemon]

Did you know that weather ball becomes a rock type move if used in a sandstorm? But, castform doesn't change form so he gets damage on every turn. Apart from sunny day, rain dance and hail, is weather ball affected by any other moves?

[Chimecho3000]

Yup, I knew that. And no, Weather Ball is not affected by any other moves.

[Green Special]

castform sucks, whats your opinion?

[Team Pokemon]

It isn't the best but he doesn't suck either. It is a great choice for smart in contests. Weather ball after an other weather move is an 8 hearts (at least) combo.

Castform sucks. :naughty:

4 Word Rule and no it doesn't i can be a great Weather Typed Team starter.

[Team Pokemon]

But in order to change the move's type you need to sacrifice 1 turn.

castform's base stat is 70 in everything, and it has a wide movepool, so it's not that bad, since it can be used as a sunny beamer (sunny day + flamethrwer + solar beam), or a stormer (rain dance + thunder + weather ball/water pulse), both sets are awesome, and castform can use both

If you use use an electric type move after rain dance, what is the diferrence?

Rain dance gives Thunder 100% accuracy I believe.

[Team Pokemon]

That is very useful! But you still have to sacrifice one turn.

No, I think it makes Thunder a never miss attack.

[Team Pokemon]

100% accuracy means it never misses.

[waltzh]

100% accuracy means it never misses.

Yes, under optimal conditions.

But 100% accuracy means never miss ONLY when the attacker was not Sand Attacked or the opponent did not Double Team or something.

100% accuracy attacks can still miss under those conditions.

Conclusion: I think it becomes never miss.

[Team Pokemon]

100% accuracy is stable. That's what I think Chaolin means.

Thunder will never miss with Rain Dance not even with 6 Double teams.

[Shadow Tyranitar]

I still wouldn't use it. He/she wouldn't get the STABed move thunder. :sad:

[Team Pokemon]

Maybe not. But you can teach it to a Kyogre.

castform is only good for contests, he is very weak in battles (except i have had success at battle tower with him but the stats there are tweaked so still don't use him to progress through your game)
