Attack Information

The primary effect of Sunny Day is to cause all Fire-type attacks to do 50% more damage and all Water-type attacks to do 50% less damage. Fixed damage from those types, such as the damage from Clamp's secondary effects, are unaffected. Other effects of the move include changes to the accuracy of Thunder, change to the number of turns for Solar Beam, and the effectiveness of the time-dependent recovery moves. Sunny Day's effect on Thunder decreases its accuracy to 49.6%.

While Sunny Day is in effect, Solar Beam will be executed (or attempt to be executed) on the turn that it is selected, rather than doing nothing on that turn as it normally does.

Time-dependent recovery moves (Moonlight, Morning Sun, and Synthesis) will recover twice as much as they would otherwise while Sunny Day is in effect.

Sunny Day does not alter the thawing rate for Frozen pokemon, but some research indicates that a pokemon may not become Frozen while it is in effect.

Sunny Day is a Weather Effect move. Weather Effect moves last for 5 rounds. Weather effect moves do not actually target either pokemon in play. As such, they are not subject to any form of Accuracy modification, including the Evade modifiers of either pokemon, Protect/Detect, or Brightpowder. They also do not directly figure into attacks which take damage dealt to a pokemon by a single attack into account, such as Bide, Counter, or Destiny Bond.

There may only be one Weather Effect move active at one time. If a Weather Effect move other than the one currently active is used, the current one stops and the new one will start its 5 rounds of effect.

Weather Effect moves include: Rain Dance, Sandstorm, and Sunny Day.

*Despite what may be found in the gameboy code and in various guides, Sunny Day's accuracy is 100% (as stated in the Stadium description). It will never miss.
