Forecast (Japanese: てんきや, Temperamental) is an ability in Game Boy Advance/Nintendo DS Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team.

Effects in Dungeons

It changes the Ability user's Type depending on the Weather.

  • Under the influence of sunny weather, the Pokémon's type changes to Fire-type.
  • Under the influence of rain or fog, the Pokémon becomes a Water-type.
  • Under the influence of hail (or snow), the Pokémon becomes an Ice-type.

If there is any other weather (Clear, Cloudy, or Sandstorm), The Pokémon's typing is unaffected.

Trivia

  • Forecast can also be activated during cutscenes with dialogue that are programmed to change the weather. An example of this can be when you fight Articuno after finishing the main story.
    • However, in this case, Forecast will proceed to deactivate as the weather during the battle is programmed to be "Clear".
