Weather

Weather is a mechanic in Pokémon Equinox that affects certain elements of battle. Each type has one respective weather.

Each weather has two levels of intensity, known as *Regular weather* and *Intense weather*. Intense weather is created by using the weather-creating move of its type while the weather is already active. If its remaining duration is shorter than the base duration, it will be set to the longer duration.

In Equinox, most weather can be active at the same time. However, some, like Sunlight, are considered exclusive and can not, and the new weather will overwrite the older one (unless in Intense weather, where the new weather will fail to be set).
