Bowser Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) So we're all aware of Mega Glalie getting Refrigerate right? What happens when Mega Glalie would use Weather Ball inside Hail, or any other form of weather? Does it turn into an Ice move first or does Weather Ball completely ignore Refrigerate?Just incase you missed it, here's Mega Glalie: Edited October 24, 2014 by Bowser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Elliot Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Interesting question. If I understand Weather Ball's wording correctly, its type changes as soon as a weather is set. In other words, if you sen Glalie out in the battlefield, and there is already a Sunny Day active, Weather Ball will instantly become a Fire-type move. So Refrigerate shouldn't affect it on the account of it already being of the Fire type, and not of the Normal type. This of course applies to all other weather conditions. However, Refrigerate should affect Weather Ball outside of weather conditions, turning it into a 50 BP Ice-type move... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in regular condotions it should be a 65BP Ice-move (x1.3 due to ability). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etesian Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Ah yes you are right, it becomes a STAB move.... It's actually he original BP x1.3 x1.5(STAB). That's how Sylveon's Trump Card can reach 390BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowser Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 So using Weather Ball inside Hail would do more damage than using it outside of Hail with Mega Glalie, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
