Desolate Land

Creates extremely harsh sunlight, which has all the properties of Sunny Day, cannot be replaced, and causes damaging Water moves to fail.

How it works

When this Pokémon enters battle or gains this ability, the weather becomes extremely harsh sunlight. Extremely harsh sunlight has all the properties of Sunny Day and also causes damaging Water moves to fail.

Extremely harsh sunlight ends when this Pokémon leaves battle or loses this ability, or when this ability is nullified. The weather cannot otherwise be changed except by the effects of Delta Stream and Primordial Sea.

Air Lock and Cloud Nine will prevent the effects of extremely harsh sunlight, including allowing Water moves to work, but will not allow the weather to be changed.

Effects can vary between games. This is the synced main-series reference; check the rules of the game you are playing.
