Air-Lock
Air Lock is an ability that negates the effects of weather conditions in a Pokémon battle. This means that as long as a Pokémon with Air Lock is on the field, all weather-related advantages or disadvantages are nullified. For instance, the effects of weather conditions like rain, sunlight, sandstorm, and hail will be inactive, although the weather itself does not disappear; it just loses its impacts.
Important points about Air Lock include:
-
Weather Impact: While Air Lock is active, abilities and moves triggered by the current weather, such as Solar Power, Swift Swim, or Sand Rush, do not function. Moves like Synthesis, Morning Sun, and Moonlight, which restore different amounts of HP depending on the weather, will restore a standard amount of HP as if no weather is present.
-
Pokémon with Air Lock: Currently, the most well-known Pokémon that has this ability is Rayquaza, the Legendary Dragon/Flying-type Pokémon.
Effects
- While this Pokémon is in battle, weather can still be in play, but will not have any of its effects. This ability functions identically to cloud nine.
