Question

Like when it rains in cities. What determines it?

Comments

according to the strategy guide, it's just dependent on the date.  Certain days it rains and others dont.  Its preset for certain days but doesnt get into specific details.  Idk if this is what you mean though but hope this helps.

The weather is generated by a random Weather generator, or by abilities of Pokemon and the legendarys listed below. The weather such as rain snow or sunny and ect. is generated by a program that randomly pics time and length of the weather.

Generation V
Generation V introduced seasons, which can affect the occurrence of weather in certain cities and routes. For instance, in Driftveil City, hail and snow are present only during the winter, while rain is common during the spring and autumn. The Pokémon Thundurus and Tornadus cause a storm on the route they are on, which is treated as rain in battle. Despite still being present on some routes, fog is no longer present in battles and cannot be removed via Defog.
Also introduced were several new Abilities that make use of the weather. Sand Rush and Sand Force both benefit a Pokémon during a sandstorm, while Overcoat negates the damage taken in a hailstorm and sandstorm. With the addition of Hidden Abilities, many old Pokémon now have access to weather-related Abilities. Most notability, Drought and Drizzle, previously available only to Groudon and Kyogre, are now available to more Pokémon. Specifically, Vulpix and Ninetales now have access to Drought, while Politoed now has access to Drizzle.

Also though it is about Pokemon not weather this is related to the generator used for weather...

In addition to their changing of routes (something that happens every time the player moves to a new area), The generator used to gen roaming Pokemon is the same or similar to the generating program used for weather!

in conclusion Mew. The generator is a program, that means it will be set by the programmers. Which means that they can set the weather for random after a certain point of gameplay or activity has been reached. So the weather cold be set for a day, then after that day the weather could continue for a random amount of time or until a set weather limit has been reached!@

Source?

---

Experience and other data from other games as such. I did not get it from a website.

---

Thst isn't really a source

---

Well, not to reference grand theft auto- The radio stations are set on a time of the date and the amount of time played. If you restarted or saved and reloaded the radio and weather on the game would be the same.

---

Is that sufficient enough Mew?

---

Its how other games work, i put two and two together.

---

Just because other games work like that doesn't Pokemon is lol
If you give me a schedule of the weather changes via link, BA. For now, Upvote.

---

Wonder where bulbapedia and serebii get their sources

---

Your edit didn't help at all, btw.

---

The answer is complete. While it is only a very justified theory it seems to be LEGIT!

---

I wonder how the weather is affected by status conditions..

---

lolz if you get burned, there is a higher chance for Sunlight.

---

So, from what you're saying..
If I change routes, the weather changes.
Weird.

---

Yes, You see the message boards in the route change areas, they show weather, and that is what will determine things also.

---

What the answer says is that whenever I change Routes, the weather changes. So When I go from Route 1 to 2, I get Rain. When I switch from 2 to 1, and back, I won't have Rain anymore.
And I know the weather stays for 1 day.

---

Not completely. You see the weather that is generated will stay for a set or random amount of time, as the answer says. And The generator/ program decides that.

---

i think the weather is determined daily

Answer 1

There are a number of things that can trigger random weather in places:


- Tornadus
- Thunderus
- And some places just randomly have rain or sand for no particular reason (its always there).
- Seasons: These vary with places. Example: Iccirus City is full of snow in the winter.
- Trees also change colour and leaves fall in autumn is kind of a weather.
- It also depends on the date.
- And the Time.

Hope I helped.
