Weather Related Moves
- In rain, Thunder has 100% accuracy, but loses accuracy in sunlight.
- In sunlight, Solar Beam doesn't need an extra turn to charge, but in rain, the power is reduced.
- Moonlight and Morning Sun will restore 2/3 of a Pokémon's HP when it's sunny, 1/2 if there is no weather condition, and 1/4 of the HP if it's raining, hailing, or if there is a sandstorm.
