Fog

Fog (Japanese: きり Fog) is a type of weather that exclusively appears as a natural effect—it cannot be created by moves or Abilities. As an in-battle weather effect, it is exclusive to Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, , Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's The Teal Mask DLC. As an overworld effect, it has appeared since Generation III. In Pokémon Sword, Shield, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, overworld fog instead shows up in battle as natural .
In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl, and , the move removes fog in battle or in the overworld when it is used. (This is also because Defog has the effect of removing all Terrain effects from Generation VIII onward.)
