Castform is a really interesting Pokemon with a really neat ability, but it isn't that strong, so I decided to buff it up a little and turn it into a proper weather setter. I used a Pokemon Emerald mod I made as a representation.

What Forecast currently does: On Switch-in, Forecast checks Castform's held item (Mystic Water, Charcoal, Nevermeltice) and sets either Rain, Sun or Hail for 5 turns. I wanted to use the Weather Rocks for that, but I currently don't have them on database, after that, Castform transforms into the Weather Formes and gains stat boosts depending on weather (1.5x Sp. Atk. and Sp. Def on rain; 1.5x Atk and Sp. Atk on Sun; 1.5 Def and Sp. Atk. on Hail). If the Weather changes by any other way, Castform will also change its form, just like the vanilla version.

I also gave it some Physical movepool like Flare Blitz, so it can use its Atk Boost on sun.

Not related to competitive: I created transformed Casform Icons and implemented them since Vanilla emerald version lacks it.

I don’t know if that makes PP stalling more or less degenerate, honestly. Maybe it makes Ghost Pokémon in a lower power level tier too broken, I want to see Pecharunt running this in OU tho.

I was thinking about not giving it to Volcarona, but I highly doubt anyone would run this on it. I just want Tinted Lens Venomoth to have a 140 BP move.

This move is based on the butterfly effect, a theory derived from the example of the details of a tornado (the exact time of formation, the exact path taken) being influenced by minor perturbations such as a distant butterfly flapping its wings several weeks earlier.

Edit: I just checked that Future Sight damage is unaffected by the user’s Ability, so a fix on that issue is also needed.
