Icy Rock

The Icy Rock is a hold item utilized in the Pokémon game series that augments the standard duration of the move Hail from the typical 5 turns to 8 turns. This advantageous extension is particularly beneficial for teams that heavily rely on strategies centered around the use of Hail, such the Hail team approach in double battles, or when leveraging specific abilities and moves in unison with Hail.

Effects:

• Upon the execution of the move Hail by a Pokémon equipped with an Icy Rock, the duration of the hailstorm extends to last for 8 turns instead of the ordinary 5 turns.
• This prolonged hailstorm is particularly valuable for extracting maximized benefits from the Snow Warning ability, which auto-triggers Hail upon the Pokémon's battlefield entry.
• The enhanced Hail duration can significantly aid Pokémon possessing the Ice Body ability, which facilitates recuperation of a HP fraction each turn during Hail.
• Additionally, the ability Slush Rush sees its effect doubled, doubling the speed of the Pokémon during Hail. This is leveraged for speed control, making the extended Hail duration immensely beneficial.

Held: The holder's Hail will create a hailstorm lasting for eight turns rather than five. As this item affects the move rather than the weather itself, the effect is not lost if the holder leaves battle or drops this item.

Short Effect: Held: Hail by the holder lasts 8 rounds instead of 5.
